Çorum massacres

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

The facts of this article cannot be verified by the sources. The ISBN numbers of the cited books appear to be invalid. The only source that can be checked is a forum posting -- hardly a reliable source. Such an inflammatory article needs better sourcing. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:21, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Remark. The ISBNs are invalid, but the books referred to definitely exist; see e.g. the mentions at Soner Yalçın and tr:Saygı Öztürk. I'll try to find out valid ISBNs. Whether these are reliable sources is a different issue. In its current state the article is beyond hope of salvation; if the topic is notable and reliable sources can be found, it would have to be rewritten from scratch. There is an article on the topic in the Turkish Wikipedia (tr:Çorum Olayları, which means "the Çorum Events"), which is unreferenced and not any better than what we have here. --Lambiam 18:19, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Follow-up. I've fixed the two broken ISBNs. Here are links to the publisher's pages for these books: Reis; Kırcı. I did not find the Kinik book – no publisher is given, and the name Ali Osman is like Robert Smith. --Lambiam 18:33, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I found this. I don't think this article is salavagable, tho. -- Nuujinn (talk) 21:40, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
