General Concerns and Questions Q1: Why does this article exist? A1: This article exists because so far there has been no consensus to delete it.

Q2: Why isn't there also an article for "Mass killings under _________ regimes"? Isn't this title biased? A2: Each article must stand on its own merits, as justified by its sources. The existence (or not) of some other similar article does not determine the existence of this one, and vice versa. Having said that, there are other articles such as Anti-communist mass killings and Genocide of indigenous peoples which also exist. This article has a descriptive title arrived at by consensus in November 2009.

Inclusion of cultural genocide

I removed sentences about cultural genocide via deportations that did not relate to mass killing and was reverted by User:7&6=thirteen with the explanation "Cultural genocide is part of the context and mechanism". That does not appear to be the case given the sources cited (the charge of cultural genocide did not relate to any mass killing in the sources provided) and I don't think this should be included based on past consensus for this article. Consensus can change, but I think these sentences are better suited to the Crimes against humanity under communist regimes article instead. AmateurEditor (talk) 04:12, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Recent additions

I don't find this correct, mostly because of the poor quality of sources. However, I agree that criticism of Courtois (as well of other figures) should be added, because these figures are obviously outdated and/or highly disputed. I propose to discuss how to do that.--Paul Siebert (talk) 19:04, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
