::And even if there was, it still does not justify the inclusion of the word "terrorist" in the lead. Even Osama bin Laden's article does not have the word "terrorist" in its lead - nor do any persons convicted of terrorist offenses through IRA involvement have the label "terrorist". "Terrorist" is ALWAYS a pov term. [[User:Meowy|<font face="Trebuchet MS, verdana, sans serif" color="#0088BB">'''Meowy'''</font>]] 21:20, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
:::The "terrorist" label is clearly sourced inside the article. Breivik has been charged for acts of terrorism under Norwegian law and the court verdict found that he had ideas of fighting islamisation with terror. Add to that a few other reliably sourced instances of "terrorist/terrorism/terror" within the article. His own lawyer compared him to a "cynical terrorist" in his final defence plea.

::::The above is meaningless weasel. You have no source that says the court in Norway convicted Breivik of a "terrorist offense", or of "being a terrorist" (or any similar wording). And since "terrorist" is always a pov term, there are no articles on Wikipedia where persons convicted of "being a terrorist" are called a "terrorist" in the lead. If it is there, it is always deeper in the actual content and it is worded so that it is made clear that it is some body or organisation that is making the "terrorist" claim.
