I have removed the redirect on this page and moved many of the decapitations from List of people who were beheaded, in accordance with the talk section over there. Weird how a consensus was reached but nobody bothered to do the split. Just an FYI. sam1370 (talk) 19:05, 23 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure that this list meets WP:LISTN. While I agree that non-beheading decapitations should not be included at List of people who were beheaded, I'm not sure that it's appropriate to have a list for such decapitations, as I don't see any evidence of decapitation victims being discussed collectively as a group in reliable sources. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 22:40, 23 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Rosguill: I originally decided not to reply; I think it was because I felt I didn’t really have much to add, although I’m not sure. I probably should have, sorry. I agree with you, this isn’t notable, however I don’t think there is any easy solution as I don’t think we should simply throw away the list. sam1370 (talk / contribs) 09:00, 10 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
