This article is entirely original research that synthesizes unconnected theories about Communist government in different countries not substantiated in any academic literature. It was originally created by banned editor Joklolk and has been contributed to by a group that calls itself the Eastern European mailing list and collaborates to insert a far right anti-Russian bias into ethnic articles.

- Keep pr. Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Communist genocide and Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Communist genocide (2nd nomination). + considering the sources provided in the article the claim of original research has no basis to it. Regarding the arguments given about "far left" and "Eastern European mailing list", I suggest to The Four Deuces remove such inappropriate speculations from this discussion page.

- Keep lots of good sources for this article - and there seems to be some sort of campaign to delete the sources in the article: some folks are trying to politicize the article. I too, consider myself a liberal, and am not on any mailing list. The claims of synthesis are ridiculous, even 1 source could be good enough for notability here - see the Black Book of Communism, published by Harvard University Press. And yes, there will be claims that this source, and many similar sources are not good enough, but frankly I don't buy that nonsense. Finally, there must be some limit to nominations such as this one, and subsidiary deletion nominations such as Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, before it looks like simple denialism combined with harassment.
