Talk:Joseph Stalin's cult of personality

Unreliable citation
Stalin disapproved and distrusted the personality cult around him.[33] - This citation is not reliable, it is basically citing Grover Furr, who is not a historian and has been compared to a Holocaust denier. This claim should either be removed or supported with more reliable evidence

 * Please provide a source for your claim that Furr "has been compared to a Hoocaust denier", a rather serious charge. Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:54, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 1. Grover Furr is described in our article as a revisionist historian.
 * 2. Revisionism is not per se unacceptable, there have been many instances where accepted views of history have been revised due to new research or arguments. Whether Furr's revisionism makrs him as an unreliable source depends on exactly what he says about specific topis, and how WP:fringey his views are.
 * 23. Furr appears to still be living, so WP:BLP is pertinent - that means that claims such as the above must be supported by WP:Reliable sources, even when they're made on a talk page. If there's no supporting citation is a reasonable amount of time (measured in days rather than weeks), it should be removed from this page. Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:58, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
