If I had known we were going to be hairsplitting, I would have dressed for the occassion.
Let me rephrase for those determined to argue about this: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia where adherents of such a hateful and absurd dogma as Nazi-ism should have no place.
I believe in NPOV just as much as the next admin, but I'm not going to turn it into a religion. NPOV applies to article content, of course, but in my discussions of policy and human interactions, I will rely on what happens in the real world. You may try to drag NPOV to an absurd extension to say that perhaps some Nazi somehwhere may be a good, neutral contributor, but real life experience says that Nazis are disruptive assholes with an agenda that is incompatible with our goals.

Go and VfD [[Nazism]], then. However absurd it may be, it is an historically important dogma which needs a careful, detailed and *neutral* treatment in a serious encyclopedia.

Yellow card! :-) Officially WP has no position on whether Nazi dogma is hateful or absurd - that is just another POV.
