The Islamophobia Template has been added. This results in an intrusive infobox that interrupts reading of the article without adding any new information. It is arguable that Tarrant was a racist rather than an Islamophobe. The template was the subject of a deletion debate [1] which collapsed into 'No Consensus'. I prefer the article without this template. Should it be removed? OrewaTel (talk) 19:53, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I collapsed the template before I saw this talk page post. I have no objection to anyone removing it.-gadfium 20:20, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, remove it. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 23:03, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Removed as per consensus. OrewaTel (talk) 22:07, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

what exactly did far right politics in Australia have to do with the attack, i know that the perpetrator was Australian-born but i don't see any link from the attack to any politics in Australia Joshville (talk) 08:41, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tarrant expressed some far right views while he was living in Australia, but a large amount of his extremist views were obtained from the Internet and his travels to other countries, some of which set off suspicion from the authorities. I agree that it is a bit simplistic to say "he did it because of far right politics in Australia".--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 09:57, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The perp is rather more than just Australian-born. He is an Australian citizen. OrewaTel (talk) 21:47, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

An attempt has been made to add White genocide conspiracy theory and The Great Replacement conspiracy theory to motives. The perpetrator was given ample opportunity to explain himself at his trial. Instead he chose not so to do. It is not for us to try to invent motives. Actually it might be better to simply remove all the motives and let the facts speak for themselves. However, some 'motives' are cited. Mind you the Washington Post reference was simply a journalist guessing that this atrocity was motivated for the same reason as a shooting in USA. (And the motive was the journo's interpretation of that shooting.) Unless the consensus is against me, I will delete the remaining uncited 'motive' as well as Ecofascism. OrewaTel (talk) 22:29, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

These are well sourced in the article. Why don't they belong in cats? I see nowhere that anyone here has invented any motives. And, I don't think what a mass murderer says in a trial means much. O3000, Ret. (talk) 22:33, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

While I agree that great care needs to be taken with categories there is the title of the manifesto. Aircorn (talk) 23:23, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
