488:@Herkus: That I said it is not NPOV does not mean that I think it is the wrong POV. Please understand the difference. Defilement is a highly loaded term, which (although certainly correct in this situation) is still not a neutral point of view. The sentences about Borussia are highly positive towards the organization (buzzwords such as "unbiased" vs. the "taboo" they are fighting, for instance); this is not related to who is using the building. I was pinged to give a third opinion. If you disagree with it, perhaps this can be withdrawn. —  161: 330: 261: 433:
dedicated to the unbiased research of East Prussian heritage in the area, which had been tabooed for decades in Communist Poland." only serve to promote the organization, rather than impart information about the building; the rest of that paragraph is also decidedly pro-Borussia. The parts about the Nazis and transition of the area to Poland is needed, but needs to be contextualized better. — 
388:. We should present what reliable sources say. Borussia was founded in 1990 because some people in Olsztyn were tired of all that propaganda and lies they were told throughout more than 40 years. I know you disagree with them, but that's completely unimportant. How are the aims of Borussia described by reliable sources? If you know any RS claiming they praised traditional 219: 355:" Damals wurde das Gebäude vom Staatsarchiv genutzt, nachdem der Friedhof als Folge der antisemitischen Hetzjagd im März 1968 zerstört worden war." Transl.: At that time the building was used by the state archive after the cemetery had been destroyed as a result of anti-semitic coursing in March 1968 369:
Please assume good faith. If there is a source why wasn't it provided and attributed to German publication about Poland that alleges so? And statements that a foundation like Borussia is "unbiased" aren't neutral at all. In fact they point out to serious POV problems, since it implies other research

Date, length, hook all OK. Hook confirmed by online citations in German; AGF. Article neutral, well referenced. I am unable to comment on copyvio. Photograph is in PD, but there is no reference to it in the hook (and IMO the alternative photo of the exterior would be better in this context). I

I too share concerns over NPOV in this article. Terms such as "defiled" and "murdered" are more loaded than "destroyed" or "killed". NPOV applies even to the greatest war crimes, so we should be careful how we phrase things. Sentences such as "Borussia is a Polish Foundation founded in 1990 and

You claim that it's POVish to call the Holocaust murder and you regard describing the defilement of a cemetery (which is what happened in 1938 as you admit) "not a neutral point of view". The cemetery wasn't destroyed in 1938, it was defiled. If you know a better term, please tell us, but as I

Every single sentence in this article is based on sources and, as Peter I. Vardy already emphasized, written in a perfectly neutral tone. Especially the destruction of the cemetery after the anti-semitic campaign in Poland of 1968 is clearly backed by the source (Michele Stavagna, page

Thank you Crisco for voicing your concerns similar to concerns of other editors here.Unfortunately at this stage the article is loaded with POV phrases such the one about Borussia, and as such fails the nomination. This has now been pointed out by unconnected

You might discuss that with one of the "Borussia" founders. Our job is to mirror what reliable sources say and "unbiased research" is how reliable sources describe the aim of "Borussia". It's not a matter of neutrality just because

The Borussia is not a sports club or an association of pigeon breeders. We need to give an information of what they do and why they do it and this is highly relevant for the renovation and modern using of the building.

Uses un-neutral language, also lacks important citations. One sentence implies that cemetery was destroyed due to anti-semitism in Poland, but there in source for that.--
