 * Keep Although I don't understand what Wikipedia policy disallows sources that the nominator considers "old", there are plenty of other sources available. The searches listed by the nominator are too narrow, as the use of quotation marks requires that the exact phrase be present.  I searched Google Books without quotes with three terms: 1895, massacre and +Erzurum.  Here are some possible additional sources for the article, The Burning Tigris: The Armenian Genocide and America's Response, A Shameful Act: The Armenian Genocide and the Question of Turkish Responsibility, The great game of genocide: imperialism, nationalism, and the destruction of the Ottoman Armenians, The Armenian massacres in Ottoman Turkey: a disputed genocide, Crime of Numbers: The Role of Statistics in the Armenian Question (1878-1918), and British diplomacy and the Armenian question: from the 1830s to 1914.  I am not saying that every one of these sources is of the highest quality; however, as a group, they convince me that the 1895 massacres in this city are notable.
