Kurdish genocide (WWI)

[edit]

The article is about a non-event. Its existence is claimed in only one source - a source that deliberately distorts other sources in order to give an appearance of reality to the claim. The term "genocide" should not be allowed to be misused in this way. A google search for Kurdish genocide and WW1 results in no hits except for this Wikipedia article. See the article's talk page for more reasons. Meowy 16:24, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, I've placed a note about the proposed deletion on the page of the editor who created the article. Meowy 16:08, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Agreed. That article should be deleted. -- Mttll (talk) 16:42, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Agreed as well, the only source is not reliable. Sardur (talk) 18:11, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Poorly-sourced fringe theory. Also, there's a relevant discussion going on at Talk:Human_rights_of_Kurdish_people_in_Turkey#Request_for_Comment:_genocide_of_Kurds.3F if anyone's interested. Graymornings_(talk) 18:51, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The entire article relies on one source. The existing source reads more like a far fetched, fringe hypothesis than a piece of academic research. For several months now nobody was able to support this article with additional sources of any nature.-- Ευπάτωρ ^Talk!! 02:01, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
