Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Communist genocide (2nd nomination)
This nomination was a bit premature as editors should have a chance to fix the newly renamed entry.  However, it looks rather grim, especially under the new supposedly more neutral title.  If there is a notable concept linking communist political ideology to genocide it certainly is not known as "mass killings under Communist regimes".  How about "mass killings under ..." feudal monarchies or theocracy or republican regimes or etc.  If it were acceptable here to structure entries like this we'd have over 30 million instead of 3 million.  We can't just start listing mass killings that were sponsored by regimes identified as communist and pretend like it is meaningful.  Is it factual, sure, but part of what  and  give us is a standard by which to judge concepts as meaningful.  We assume to some extent that if something is covered by reliable sources then it is meaningful and therefore fodder for an encyclopedia.  Using sources to actually show that "Communist genocide" is a meaningful concept (if that is possible) would have been the right way to go about this
