I don't think this *technically* qualifies for speedy, but it's a redirect from a user to a mainspace page for a musician. Regardless of whether they are the same person or not, it's not an appropriate redirect. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 23:13, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was no consensus. In both of these discussions, numerous reasonable ideas were brought to the table. While there was no consensus on what type of change should be implemented, there's certainly no consensus for keeping it as is either. While this defaults to keep, there's no prejudice against future changes. Swarm X 20:03, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Another bad redirect to a random sub-topic. See my rationale in the discussion on the " #Persecution by Christians" one. Tijfo098 ( talk) 15:43, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
- Nothing "random" about it. The only decent content in this
WP:POVFORK was related to the persecution of paqans. The rest was on the crusades (which belongs in an article on
religious wars, and some very badly miscourced and plain wrong stuff on the Inquisition which read like it was written by a ten year old and cited to some militant atheist blog (yup, that's right). Given that the redirect makes perfect sense.

- How is Persecution of Jews in the First Crusade which happened in Europe (not in the Middle East) not part of the "History of persecutions by Christians"? Tijfo098 ( talk) 19:20, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
- As for the Inquisition being described as persecution, see
this academic book written by a historian, for instance. There are plenty more who describe it in those terms.

- You should actually read that article (
Persecution of Jews in the First Crusade). For starters, because it was "Persecution of Jews by Crusaders", who were of course Christians. Note the bishops mentioned in the article. Basically, articles like these just don't make sense ("[[Persecutions by xyz") unless they have a more narrowly defined topic like the first crusade one.

- As far as that Inquisition source you link to is concerned... well, I'm not sure what to say, except that you should perhaps read the source yourself first before recommending it to others. A good chunk of that book is about the construction of the myths surrounding the Inquisition, which don't really jive with your position.

- I agree that the (former) article was ill advised precisely because of your concerns (SNYT). But the redirect—which is what we're supposed to discuss here—is silly too because many topics qualify as "persecution by Christians" and no Wikipedia article has a full history of those. (To my knowledge no academic effort to compile such a history has been attempted; the topic fails WP:N because it's apparently too broad.) "Persecution by Christians" might possibly be a dab (although not a usual one, see WP:DAB), but this one certainly not because the name implies a comprehensive history.

Emmette Hernandez Coleman (

- After looking at the proposed target, it is a somewhat plausible target. However, the "historical overview" there is only a sample of persecutions, written with the intent of providing background for the ideological "debate", which more properly said is itself a history of the Christian ideology on this issue. I think the "debate" in the title has attracted some WP:OR towards the end of that article. It should probably be renamed to History of Christian ideology of religious persecution and toleration or something like that. Tijfo098 ( talk) 00:34, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
- That article also has a problem of scope. It's largely based on a single source [2] focused on England so the title is more or less a misnomer. As no single source has even attempted a such a broad topic, it runs into the same "SYNT" issue VM and I discussed above. Tijfo098 ( talk) 00:41, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
- Revert to the article that it was before Marek blanked out the article and made it a redirect. From the establishment of Christianity as the religion of the Roman Empire in the 4th century to the Thirty Years War before the subsequent rise of religious toleration of the 17th century there is a 13 century history of persecution and intolerance by Christian authorities. This simple redirect is inadequate to direct the reader to the vast literature on the topic. One either needs a whole article or a list to the articles where we write on the various episodes of Christian persecution of other non-Christian religions or other Christian denominations.

- I agree we should avoid a fork. If the information is distributed among many articles (and you gave one example--I could give others) my last suggestion that we need a multi-direct (or disambiguation) to " a list to the articles" should be a better option to help the reader with the appropriate pointers. The subject is too vast--covering over 1000 years and half the globe--for the reader to track down the whole history. Jason from nyc ( talk) 13:10, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

I don't think this *technically* qualifies for speedy, but it's a redirect from a user to a mainspace page for a musician. Regardless of whether they are the same person or not, it's not an appropriate redirect. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 23:13, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was no consensus. In both of these discussions, numerous reasonable ideas were brought to the table. While there was no consensus on what type of change should be implemented, there's certainly no consensus for keeping it as is either. While this defaults to keep, there's no prejudice against future changes. Swarm X 20:03, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
- History of persecutions by Christians → Persecution of pagans by the Christian Roman Empire ( links to redirect • history • stats) [ Closure: keep/ delete ]
Another bad redirect to a random sub-topic. See my rationale in the discussion on the " #Persecution by Christians" one. Tijfo098 ( talk) 15:43, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
- Nothing "random" about it. The only decent content in this
WP:POVFORK was related to the persecution of paqans. The rest was on the crusades (which belongs in an article on
religious wars, and some very badly miscourced and plain wrong stuff on the Inquisition which read like it was written by a ten year old and cited to some militant atheist blog (yup, that's right). Given that the redirect makes perfect sense.

- How is Persecution of Jews in the First Crusade which happened in Europe (not in the Middle East) not part of the "History of persecutions by Christians"? Tijfo098 ( talk) 19:20, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
- As for the Inquisition being described as persecution, see
this academic book written by a historian, for instance. There are plenty more who describe it in those terms.

- You should actually read that article (
Persecution of Jews in the First Crusade). For starters, because it was "Persecution of Jews by Crusaders", who were of course Christians. Note the bishops mentioned in the article. Basically, articles like these just don't make sense ("[[Persecutions by xyz") unless they have a more narrowly defined topic like the first crusade one.

- As far as that Inquisition source you link to is concerned... well, I'm not sure what to say, except that you should perhaps read the source yourself first before recommending it to others. A good chunk of that book is about the construction of the myths surrounding the Inquisition, which don't really jive with your position.

- I agree that the (former) article was ill advised precisely because of your concerns (SNYT). But the redirect—which is what we're supposed to discuss here—is silly too because many topics qualify as "persecution by Christians" and no Wikipedia article has a full history of those. (To my knowledge no academic effort to compile such a history has been attempted; the topic fails WP:N because it's apparently too broad.) "Persecution by Christians" might possibly be a dab (although not a usual one, see WP:DAB), but this one certainly not because the name implies a comprehensive history.

Emmette Hernandez Coleman (

19:43, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
- After looking at the proposed target, it is a somewhat plausible target. However, the "historical overview" there is only a sample of persecutions, written with the intent of providing background for the ideological "debate", which more properly said is itself a history of the Christian ideology on this issue. I think the "debate" in the title has attracted some WP:OR towards the end of that article. It should probably be renamed to History of Christian ideology of religious persecution and toleration or something like that. Tijfo098 ( talk) 00:34, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
- That article also has a problem of scope. It's largely based on a single source [2] focused on England so the title is more or less a misnomer. As no single source has even attempted a such a broad topic, it runs into the same "SYNT" issue VM and I discussed above. Tijfo098 ( talk) 00:41, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
- Revert to the article that it was before Marek blanked out the article and made it a redirect. From the establishment of Christianity as the religion of the Roman Empire in the 4th century to the Thirty Years War before the subsequent rise of religious toleration of the 17th century there is a 13 century history of persecution and intolerance by Christian authorities. This simple redirect is inadequate to direct the reader to the vast literature on the topic. One either needs a whole article or a list to the articles where we write on the various episodes of Christian persecution of other non-Christian religions or other Christian denominations.

- I agree we should avoid a fork. If the information is distributed among many articles (and you gave one example--I could give others) my last suggestion that we need a multi-direct (or disambiguation) to " a list to the articles" should be a better option to help the reader with the appropriate pointers. The subject is too vast--covering over 1000 years and half the globe--for the reader to track down the whole history. Jason from nyc ( talk) 13:10, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
