Mass deaths and atrocities of the twentieth century

Mostly a coatrack article for some librarian named Matthew White. The information here is already in articles like List of events named massacres and List of wars and disasters by death toll and Genocides in history, organized in a far superior manner. Merzbow (talk) 08:18, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete - although I just spent the last half an hour trying to clean up this article for NPOV, I voiced my concerns about the page almost two years ago on the article's talk page and I've been considering nominating it for AFD myself. The problem is that it records estimates from only two sources, one of them quite obscure and the other not a reliable source (although he quotes from reliable sources).
I guess it's arguable that this page could be salvaged with a broader range of sources but it's been extant for years now and no-one has bothered, apart from which, we already have pages like List of wars and disasters by death toll which cover much the same ground but which as Merzbow suggests are better organized and better sourced.
