 * Keep A perusal of Google Books would list numerous WP:RS sources in English confirming the existence of the camp. As an example, consider the Pulitzer Prize-winning Gulag: A History ("Dalstroi set up a punishment lagpunkt, which became, by the late 1930s, one of the most notorious in the Gulag: Serpantinnaya--or Serpantinka--located in the hills far to the north of Magadan....") pp. 246--247. The idea that this "notorious" (i.e. notable) camp did not exist would be WP:FRINGE unless reliable sources calling it a hoax were produced. Even then, it would be a notable hoax (WP:NHOAX) and not suitable for deletion. 68.189.242.116 (talk) 16:36, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete There are no creditable sources in any reference provided proven the claim that Serpantinnaya gold mine was indeed the "major place for the enforcement of their death sentences". The fact that such location existed does not mean that it was a place of mass execution as it states on the page: "estimates the number of victims at 30 thousands, shot or died of exhaustion" (by Alexander Mikaberidze) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucidlook (talk • contribs) 10:23, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. Most sources are referring to the same fake publication. The first source doesn't even mention the subject. Dr.KBAHT (talk) 22:42, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
