This article is a duplication of info listed within the [[Category:assassins]] tag. Sottolacqua (talk) 14:10, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Most categories will support a corresponding list as an additional navigational aid. This list is not a duplication or redundant, since it holds more information that what is possible with a category. It links to both the assassin and the person assassinated. Additionally, it contains a few items where the assassinated person has an article, but the assassin doesn't. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk 15:06, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As I've stated before, and will continue to state in the future, a list being complimentary to a category is not a reason for deletion. Umbralcorax (talk) 15:33, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Redundancy between lists and categories is beneficial.... - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 16:27, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:CLN. The list provides information the category doesn't, so it's not actually redundant as claimed. - Mgm|^(talk) 19:11, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep In general, every category of discrete objects should have a corresponding list unless there is some special reason not to. DGG (talk) 00:03, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep Very useful list Vartanza (talk) 03:14, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Annotations as to who was assassinated make the list more informative than the simple category. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:12, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
keep as it links the assassin with the assassinated. PaulJones (talk) 17:32, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above-- as everyone has noted, this article can do what the category cannot, which is to explain the significance of each person on the list. Looks like a snowball ending for this discussion-- preferably one hurled from a window by a loner, who kept to himself. Mandsford (talk) 23:48, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
