Nominator's rationale: I can't find any evidence of this role existing, and there is no mention of "Alderman" in
François Bellot, the one article in this category. This category has also been created by a sockpuppet. --

Comment, in the article
Municipalities of Belgium, "aldermen" is used as translation of "schepenen" in Dutch. The schepenen, together with the mayor, are the executive local government of a municipality. But it is not meaningful to vote for keeping the category if it is factually empty.

Comment -- We discourage articles on those who are merely local politicians. The one person categorised would belong in
City councillors in Belgium, which seems to be what is meant here, but his notability is for having served at a higher level of politics. Perhaps Rename, but I would not mind if it was deleted.

No, "city councillor" is surely "gemeenteraadslid" in Dutch, that is something different. Perhaps the phenomenon of an executive local government of a municipality does not exist in English-speaking countries?

It may not a bad idea after all. The large amount of politicians are known as a national politician and the past position in local politics is merely trivial. How many politicians are in Wikipedia solely as a local politician?

Oppose. By no means did all white supremcists support lynching. And what is meant by the above "Per WP:Opinioncat" I have no idea what evidence or argument is being cited, nor did clicking on it help.

"Avoid categorizing people by their personal opinions, ...", says the guideline. That is pretty clear, isn't it? The fact that not all white supremacists support lynching is not relevant for the merge, there would only be an issue if not all lynching defenders would be white supremacists. DeleteMerge as a standard application of
WP:OPINIONCAT, defending lynching is obviously an expression of opinion.

Merge -- This is a particularly objectionable aspect of American segregationalism. The two articles that I sampled included a man who opposed an anti-Lynching Bill and a man who proposed to pardon those guilty of lynching.
