Sensibility[edit]

The vast majority of the 12 or so articles that I looked at never mentioned any conversion. The pragmatic/political motivations for converting, or viewing them as nominal converts, is usually hinted at, but rarely actually talked about, let alone explained. I feel as though the current title of this category is misleading when a great number of its subjects do not actually directly mention any conversion. If you want to make the case that they converted, then you should probably start by editing their articles and actually make a case for it, instead of just creating an ostensibly arbitrary category and then tossing them in here. If their conversion is noteworthy enough for them to be placed in a category, then it should be noteworthy enough to actually be found in their individual articles. I have no problem with such a category existing, I just think it's pointless if the subject is barely mentioned in the articles. -HawkeyE (talk) 06:01, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
