early comment
editI've put this as a subcategory of 'crime victims'.
It seems reasonable to me that any assassination is by definition a crime, but I could imagine someone attempting to make a case (a person assassinated in somewhere where no law holds, or where the killing was for some reason not illegal).
This is consistent with other parts of Wikipedia, as the category Assassinations is a subcategory of Crimes. Anyway, feel free to debate either side. --Saforrest 07:41, Sep 2, 2004 (UTC)

editThw categorization is becoming overly broad, to the point that murder victims are almost equated to assassinated people. I suggest Category:Assassinated people to only refer to assassinatations of people who either held some form of government position (diplomats, generals not active in a war situation, mayors) or are politicans. Clearly this would rule out the Category:Assassinated journalists and Category:Assassinated activists, as an example. Intangible 15:14, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
