Reliable sources?
This article appears to rely on two unpublished studies, both incompletely referenced. Can someone explain why they should be treated as reliable? hamiltonstone (talk) 01:11, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Deletion in German Wikipedia
After a lengthy discussion the German wikipedia has decied to delete this article. Main reason was very douptful sources, mainly one "unpublished" document, which never will reach a peer-review as long it stays in this status. The second source was a private memo and it seems douptful if the author intended it for publication or if he still believed in into before his death.

 * What you call "doubtful" sources were actually written by international experts (see author links) and your claim that one of them "may not have believed in into before his death" is exactly one of those claims totally made up of out of thin air which made the German discussion such a mockery. A discussion which became in fact lenghty only because the deletion was first disapproved by an admin for a lack of real reasons. I freely acknowledge that peer-reviewed sources would be more preferable to the studies now cited, but trying to transplant the somehwat dishonest arguments from the German WP is in no way helpful in determing the real worth of the sources on which this article is based.
