Talk:Persecution of Christians in the Soviet Union

Sources and figures
There are only two sources that place numbers on deaths and neither are rigorous or reliable. One is a non-peer reviewed word document that you need to use the Wayback Machine to even access, and that source itself cites other sources without ever naming them. The other source cites a non-peer reviewed article by an anthology published by a Christian bookstore. Neither of these are credible historiographic sources and none can point to anything like archival documentation. As the discussion above alludes to, there isn't even a consideration of who is or isn't a Christian in these broad estimates of Soviet death. Until a credible source can be found, I believe these numbers should be removed. - Bjmunise (talk) 01:37, 19 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Agreed. I've removed the challenged claim. I'm also adding boxes for neutrality and poor/biased citations. This article has quite a lot of problems, and I'm not sure where to begin other than alerting editors to it. It may require a rewrite. - LesbianTiamat (talk) 18:31, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I am restoring the sources in a separate section since they are reliable sources. User:Bjmunise is incorrect. James M. Nelson source is Springer (academic publisher), Todd M. Johnson source is from an academic institution (University of Notre Dame) and is an editor of the World Christain Encyclopedia (Oxford university Press), and Yakovlev is from Yale University Press. These are are not random sources. Should be careful of not removing properly cited material WP:REMOVECITE. &#32;Ramos1990 (talk) 03:17, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
