632:- I agree with Pit-yacker. The article in its current state is little more than an overblown stub. Whether something is a historic event or not depends on the sources covering it and as far as I can tell this event had very limited non-local coverage. Without going into the whole matter of the event possibly being (ab)used by historical revisionists, the fact of the matter is that unless it can be proven that it is notable enough via reliable sources we have no reason to think that this meets our GNG threshold. And currently the article has three references - one is offline and the other two are short newspaper articles about the death of Slađana Kobas, the only surviving baby. Seems pretty thin.
544:, especially if their history if full of such. This is something that really happened, and this is a fact. This is NOT a newspaper news, this is history. Therfore, it is a historical fact, ans as a such, it cannot be deleted. If someone haven't heard of it, it is not Knowledge's problem, it is his problem and he should work a little bit more on informing himself. And of course, it is NOT an argument at all, is it? :) If someone thinks it is POV, then clean it. But you cannot delete it. The fact is that the babies died, and the fact is that they died due to the lack of oxygen that couldn't be administered to them because of the war. There's nothing in this that could be tagged as propaganda. --
422:. The article has an overwhelming whiff of propaganda. I fear that there is nothing that is salvageable from this article. It appears to be full of weasel language. As this event occurred during a civil war, I think independent sources can only really be found from an international perspective. The lack of recognisable international sources makes this story next to impossible to verify.
565:: ...and historical events are generally considered "facts" because they are written about by numerous sources. That even happened in ancient Rome. Provide some reliable sources to back up the claims made (particularly in the "Background" section) and you have yourself an article where NPOV issues might be fixable. Until then you have little beyond the title of the article.
348:". This is all wrong. According to the verdict to Serbian war criminal, Simić (case IT-95-9), Operation Corridor was one of many operations of ethnic cleansing of non-Serb population. Now, these anonymous users, are writting articles in order to help war ciminals in ICTY, making fake execuses for their crimes. Wiki should not be part of that.
450:
Babies died due to lack of oxygen, that is not something that happens every day, even in wars. Those who survived have/had awful life. Shortage of oxygen (and other goods) came due to cutting land links to Serbia and due to no-fly zone over Bosnia. Babies are not exclusively Serbs, article never said
427:
Whilst I'm not suggesting it didn't happen. If we remove the unreferenced material (and we are generous), we are left with a stub which suggests nothing more than 12 babies died in a hospital in 1992 because of a lack of oxygen (and that includes even if we add the material from ICTY justed posted
482:
When I say that, I'll go as far as ignoring the apparent constant use of weasel language, and logical gaps which suggest we aren't hearing the full neutral story. The problem is that fundamentally, if it is unverifiable it doesn't matter if the article is neutral or not because without independent
