Article

I have asked for deletion of the main page so that the material can be moved there. At present it is at Turkey’s Unknown Schindlers/Definition, which is for a much shorter summary of the content. That said, I am unsure whether the material is maintainable anyway, as it reads like an essay rather than an encyclopaedia article. John Stephenson 07:58, 5 Oc tober 2010 (UTC)

It ought to - the entire text appears to have been taken from this page. The author is the same though. David Finn 08:07, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
This shows that even the new Metadata form does not prevent mistakes ...
I think that it can be the basis for an article, but not as "Turkey' Unknown Schindlers". This is a good headline for a newspaper, but not for an encyclopedic article. I am not sure what title to suggest. Perhaps: Behiç Erkin, at least for now? --Peter Schmitt 09:09, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
I've deleted the page at John's request and I'll let you decide if you want anything salvaged here or elsewhere. D. Matt Innis 11:38, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
I have renamed it at Peter's suggestion but am unconvinced it can stay. John Stephenson 14:10, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
It would appear, although I have not checked every one, that every article started by the author of this article has been a section cut and pasted from a longer essay. I presume there is no copyright problem, unless the Journal of the History of Dentistry have a problem with some of them, but none of the articles on the face of it seem to be entirely encyclopedic. David Finn 14:29, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
Some of the author's articles require extensive reformatting. I have made some changes and moves here and there but it's a big task... John Stephenson 12:57, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Righteous among the Nations

There's now a higher-level article, Righteous among the Nations, specific to no nationality of rescuers. Some of the more dramatic articls can point to it, and be made a little less dramatic. Howard C. Berkowitz 02:23, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
