Category talk:Sex offenders
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Delete category
This category has 3 people in it, one of whom is Pete Townshend. The other 2 are hardly famous, even in the areas from whence they came (I had never heard of "Purple Aki" before and I live in St Helens!). I suggest the article is useless and serves no fair purpose and should thus be deleted, or in terms used elsewhere in Wikipedia WRT categories
- it is generally a bad idea - the categorization strikes me as offensive and indelicate and unnecessary.

- I'm certain that these categories might be used to dishonourate people who are not sex offenders, dishonourate people who are not sentenced sex offenders or to create a list of suspected sex offenders, and I belive there are ethical issues creating any such list without governmental support or blessing. Also, I am surprised that I did not see any immidiate evidence that these lists are beeing used in such ways. Here in Norway, the prime-minister was blamed to be a paedophile by a wikipedia article. I see a register article comming up about the contents of similar categories;)--158.36.225.60 01:35, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
