purple triangle

I searched "the purple triangle(s)", "is a...", "was a...", "are...", "were...", "purple triangle(s)" + camp or Nazi, and added the only cite I could find; everything else was the SOP sense "a triangle which is purple" (e.g. "the purple triangle was the symbol used for fundamentalists including Jehovah's Witnesses"). - -sche (discuss) 06:49, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

I've added a quote. There seems to be a third use here, although the text doesn't specify whether it refers to Jehovah's Witnesses. Einstein2 (talk) 20:43, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

Meh, since it's in the context of the Holocaust, I suppose we can assume it means this (or at least, a broadened version of this, if we want to change it to "a JW or fundamentalist Christian" or something). I suppose sense 2 barely passes (so, I've dropped sense 1 and labelled sense 2 as rare). - -sche (discuss) 21:11, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

Sense 2 passed (sense 1 failed). - -sche (discuss) 21:24, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
