Metgethen massacre

Metgethen massacre (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

The only line that has something to do with the lemma is: "The bodies were then discovered". Furthermore all the sources make reference to the Nemmersdorf massacre and not this event. As it is, this is just a lemma to showcase a gruesome picture, but without encyclopedic value. noclador (talk) 13:24, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment. I hate this type of case. The article is sourced, but many of them I either cannot read or cannot obtain. How, then, are we properly to judge? I certainly can find mention of this incident in Google, but when you exclude Misplaced Pages there are few reliable sources, but rather POV forks on WWII. The nominator is absolutely correct about the current state of the article. I suppose that since the onus is on the article to show proper sourcing of each of its claims (at least the ones that aren't common knowledge) I would strip it of all assertions that lack citations - making it a true stub - and label it for WP:MILHIST.
