editJoeseph Smith should not be on this page. The Mormom church is not a Christian denomination.
What about Cassie Bernall and Rachel Scott from the Columbine massacre? Many Christians consider them martyrs... are they too recent and controversial?

Fool, mormons are Christian. They believe in Jesus. They're Christian... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.253.17.69 (talk) 19:43, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Changes to sub-categories
editThis category already has some sub-categories, including Roman era Christian martyrs (1st - 4th centuries) and Catholic martyrs. I propose that additional categories should be made here, corresponding in part to the main article Christian martyrs:
- Christian martyrs of the Middle Ages (5th - 15th centuries)
- Protestant martyrs
Other changes required:
- The category Jesuit martyrs should be a sub-set of Catholic martyrs.
- Following the point above about Joseph Smith, I propose that the category of Mormon martyrs be moved up to be a sub-category of Martyrs rather than of Christian martyrs. Fayenatic london 13:36, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
After further consideration, here is a more detailed proposal:
- Category:Christian martyrs of the Roman era 1st to 4th centuries
- Category:Christian martyrs of the Medieval era 5th to 15th centuries
- Category:Catholic martyrs of the Early Modern era 16th & 17th centuries
- Category:Protestant martyrs of the Early Modern era
- Category:Orthodox martyrs of the Early Modern era (if required)
- Category:Catholic martyrs of the Modern era 18th century to present date
- Category:Protestant martyrs of the Modern era
- Category:Orthodox martyrs of the Modern era
