[edit] Srebrenica Genocide Denial

Srebrenica Genocide Denial (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This was tagged as an attack page for speedy deletion. That's fixable by removing the names, maybe. I've tried to avoid "Genocide Denial" articles at AfD because they seem to be hotly contentious. So I'm bringing this here as it may be controversial. It is presently unsourced, and possibly speediable that way. I just don't know. It may also have been dealt with in the past under a slightly different name with diacritical marks. Dlohcierekim 03:36, 30 January 2008 (UTC) Dlohcierekim 03:36, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

OOps, there were sources attesting to the occurrence of the massacre, and I have added {{{reflist}}} so they show. Dlohcierekim 03:44, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

So the question is, Is this notable and verifiable? Dlohcierekim 06:06, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

• CommentOn the articles about those people i mentioned the Srebrenica Genocide denial is mentioned as well.

This article is about the phenomenon of Srebrenica Genocide Denial which includes some journalists,the serbian radical party and a great part of serbian people who still continue to deny it or argue about the number of victims.

It is a propaganda campain by a number of Serb Apologists who are even making films about it in order to confuse people.--(GriffinSB) (talk) 03:48, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Could you please provide verifiable sources for the Denial part of the article? Dlohcierekim 03:51, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

OK.Thanks.--(GriffinSB) (talk) 03:53, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

• Redirect to Srebrenica_massacre#Alternative_views. It looks as if it would be difficult, perhaps impossible, to make this article NPOV. --Rumping (talk) 10:35, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
• Agree with Redirect to Srebrenica_massacre#Alternative_views. This article is gaming the system by citing references and sourcing its information yet using it for POV pushing. SWik78 (talk) 16:48, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
• Redirect I agree, it's probably impossible to make this article NPOV. Part of the article is a rebuttal to persons who claim that no such killing took place, fair enough; but a large part of it is about the author's belief that the word "massacre" rather than "genocide" (as in the Wikipedia article Srebrenica massacre) is improper. It's implied that using the word "massacre" is, itself, denying reality or somehow an insult to the persons who were murdered. This, in effect, an "alternative view". Thousands of people were murdered, during a little more than a week in July 1995, because of their ethnic background. The documented instances would properly be called massacres, while the overall murders (including those before and after July 1995, inside and outside Srebrenica) were all part of genocide. Suggestion to Griffin-- instead why not write an article about the campaign of genocide, which would include not only the 1995 murders at Srebrenica, but everything else?
