Talk:Slimane Azem

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... an important figure in Algerian, French and Kabyle culture, some place in France were even named after him this speedy deletion is a little random imo--Kiwi (talk) 16:41, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

Completely Erroneous Information
This English-version article is in parts adapted from the French version, which in itself is fine.

However, significant liberties were taken during the translation which have resulted in gross errors. He did not "land" at Longwy, he moved there voluntarily. He most certainly did not do so as part of the Service du Travail Obligatoire in 1937, considering the STO system was created in 1942 after the French defeat against German forces. Only later was be brought to Germany for work as part of the STO system. The use of the word "deported" is dubious, as this commonly refers to the forcible moving of civilian populations to concentration camps. French workers were indeed brought to Germany to work, but this was akin to conscription rather than slavery (in the case of French workers -- the issue of what happened in the East was different).

Several more errors probably arose from this. It would be better to translate word for word, or at least information-for-information, and then address issues in sourcing originating in the French article, rather than paraphrase the French article and include completely and definitely wrong information Dobrov19 (talk) 18:49, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
