Delete. Inflammatory, polemical, open to original research and POV. It is not Wikipedia's place to decide what constitutes a "human rights violation," and attribute unspecified classes of events to "anti-communism"-- a murky, hard to define label. The likely spin-off category "Human rights violations attributed to anti-communism" will be similarly problematic, if anyone is interested in having me elaborate. 172 | Talk 03:22, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- Strong delete per nom. Wikipedia doesn't need to keep adding original research political categories open to POV warring. --TJive 03:40, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. There are certainly individual encyclopedic topics that I might describe that way: and that the article itself might describe that way. But as a category it looks like pure advocacy. LotLE×talk 03:43, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Meaning of the category ambiguous and open to POV-pushing. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 03:54, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Delete due to redundancy with Category:Cuban-Americans and possible POV issues.--Peta 02:17, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

In an attempt to standardise categorisation of people by ethnic or national origin, the hyphen seems to be used in less than half of all these type of category names, almost all the corresponding articles like Norwegian American and List of Norwegian Americans use non-hyphenated titles. I propose that we being to rename all these type of articles to remove the hyphen, America has the most of these types of categories and seems like a good place to start.--Peta 02:09, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- rename per nom. Good way to go. Thanks Hmains 02:21, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- Strongly oppose The hypen is correct. Cuban-American means American of Cuban descent. Cuban American among other things can mean half-Cuban, half-American; Cubans with American residency; someone with dual citizenship, and a number of other meanings. The hypen narrows down the meaning to indicate an American with another ethic origin. The non-hypenated version is ambiguous. (Writing Irish American rather than Irish-American is seen as a typographical faus pax.) FearÉIREANN\(caint) 03:47, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- The context you describe as incorrect is precisely how these categories are used, they are not used only to categorise Cuban-born Americans, but they are stuck on anyone that claims some vague kind of ethnicity.--Peta 03:51, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Rename to remove the hyphen.--Peta 01:29, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

- Strongly oppose The hypen is correct. See above. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 03:50, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- Strong oppose per FearÉIREANN. 172 | Talk 03:57, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
The naming conventions state "Exceptionally, where the commonly used English name for residents of a city is known globally, the category "Foocityers" may also be used to redirect towards People from Foocity" although I don't believe that Minneapolis can be said to be known "globally" nor would the term be known globally. Dismas|(talk) 00:57, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- Modified nom, guess it should really be "Minneapolis, Minnesota" to make it more globally known and in cases where there may be more than one Minneapolis. Dismas|(talk) 01:41, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
