List of Nanjing Massacre survivors

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

The list purports to contain currently-living survivors of the massacre, but the only cited source is from 2017. The people included may not be alive, are not themselves of demonstrated notability, and may not be considered public figures.

I don't have access to the source, but this article is either plagiarizing from it or contains unattributed translation from the Chinese language Wikipedia version of this article. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 05:22, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete We are not supposed to make indiscrminate lists of everyone. A list of all people who experinced event X who were alive in year Y is not a good idea. In general lists of people are supposed to be limited to people who are public figures. There is no reason to believe this is.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:46, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. Keeping lists of currently living survivors hardly makes any sense. Why such list would be notable or useful? My very best wishes (talk) 04:15, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
