The Nazis killing of Jews is not a good example of religiocide (a HORRID neologism, as is ideocide - 'bicycle' mixtures of Latin and Greek are not good). They killed Jews who had become Christians, after all.
Should we have made up terms like this on Wikipedia? - Tim
- I'd say not. It falls under the 'original research' stricture. But then I believe in rules. Oh, well. By the way, a google search turns up 5 occurrences, and the OED online doesn't recognize it. --MichaelTinkler
- Google found 0 occurrences of "ideocidal" when I tried. I think we shouldn't even use made-up words in Wikipedia, let alone write articles about them. Zundark, 2001 Oct 31
- whoops - I was looking for 'ideocide' - should have made that clear. --MichaelTinkler
Unless the author of it or anyone else has any objections, I propose deleting this page and
homicidal organization also. --

I just did a Google search, and found homicidal organization gets 3 references, and ideocidal organization none. Since these articles contain no real content anyway, and since i haven't heard any objections to my proposal to delete these two articles, I will delete them now. Of course, if anyone has any major objections they can always restore them. -- SJK
Talk formerly on the
homicidal organization page, before SJK removed it:
Where does this concept come from? Does it exist in criminology or somewhere like that? Or is this just someones (somewhat idiosyncratic) attempt to organize things?... -- SJK
- it reads like one of the so-called 'concepts'. --MichaelTinkler
