Contemporary press headlines on atrocities affecting the Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922)

Wikipedia is WP:NOT a publisher of random information. This is not even an article, but a mere list of raw historical data factbites, compiled with a clear tendentious agenda of supporting a certain POV position at Greek genocide. Since it's a list of references to primary sources, without any analysis sourced to the secondary literature, its only use is to serve as a vehicle of WP:OR. Fut.Perf. ☼ 11:46, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete or transwiki to wikisource, if they'll accept this kind of article. JulesH (talk) 16:12, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as headlines are not notable. Could this be a potential WP:COPYVIO? I know the whole thing isn't copyrighted, but it seems to me that the actual headlines would be. Tavix (talk) 23:55, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a textbook example of WP:IINFO and WP:SYNTH/WP:NPOV violations. This is a list of headlines that tries to promote the idea that the Turks were to blame for the conflict. Either way, headlines do not make an article. - Mgm|(talk) 11:33, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to wikisource. For the various concerns above re OR in the compilation of the list, I suggest they read the actual source. It is not WP editors who compiled those headlines, but a nongovernmental organization, the Australian Institute for Holocaust and Genocide Studies. The source is here.

 * That makes no difference. A set of headlines is still a list of indiscriminate information and I'm pretty sure Wikisource wouldn't want it either. - Mgm|(talk) 20:25, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
