A Terrible Revenge

This is nothing but an advertisement for a booktitel of a "historian" known for very revisionist positions in Germany. Has nothing to do with NPOV, has nothing to do with serious enquiry of Prussian history. The information about this book belongs to some other place, f.e. "Ethnic policies at the end of World War II" or something like that. There you could discuss the book and name it among others, but not alone like this.

Therefore, I suggest to delete this article (which does not deserve the name). Jesusfreund 11:01, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep real book, is on Amazon (sales rank ~20,000) in an English translation. Without addressing the issue of whether the material in the book is morally or factually correct (which is not our purpose anyway) it's definitely a real book and would have an article. Needs cleanup though. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:03, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)

Keep, and edit to ensure it's NPOV. Rick K 22:01, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
Keep, needs expansion. Megan1967 04:13, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Merge and redirect to the article on the author, which is still very short. Break out later if needed. / Uppland 07:18, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Obviously the book is sufficiently notable to be included in Wikipedia. If you think the article about the book is POVed, e.g. does not mention any critique of the book, you can fix it. The book itself doesn't have to be NPOV--Wikimol 11:31, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete! It is just one book from Alfred-Maurice de Zayas, so it would be enough to name it in this article. Krtek76 11:54, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep, obviously. Xezbeth 16:04, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Reasonable stub. Capitalistroadster 16:48, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Comment: I can't help but notice that all the Delete voters so far are German. Was this article recently deleted on the German Wikipedia or something? Xezbeth 20:50, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)

Re. User:Schlesier is more german than any other on this page. -83.129.28.50 01:08, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

How can someone be more German than somebody else? Schlesier is also the guy who wants us to change Warsaw to Warschau on some specious argument that it was a German city. On the other hand, keep this article, whether you agree with the book or the author, it does no harm to have an article which discusses it in an NPOV manner. Rick K 01:06, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)

Delete not all books are notable, and this article does not establish notability. I'm not German Dsmdgold 02:13, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
Ad notability. The book has 1k+ Google hits, 22 reviews and #21,989 sales rank at Amazon, and is cited in normal academic press. Also it seems to be quite popular among neo-nazis / revizionists. --Wikimol 11:10, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. The book is being discussed. It is reasonambe to have a summary. It is not an advertisment: the book is old and already known. We have Mein Kampf here after all. If there is a published critique of the book, you are welcome to descibe it. Mikkalai 23:11, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
