Discussion of the Article

I have created an entry for Solomon Radasky, a well known Holocaust Survivor who is featured in the United States Holocaust Museum, and whose accounts of the Holocaust are widespread. This article was worked on and added as part of follow up work from an Edit-a-Thon in Western North Carolina part by the Carolina Triangle Wikipedians https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/North_Carolina_Triangle_Wikipedians. For more information on the event, see: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Asheville_Buncombe_Technical_Community_College/Expanding_History_of_Holocaust_Survivors_and_WWII_(HAYNES_BUILDING_214_and_217)/home

question

How much of the information in this article is based on anything other than he what he said to interviewers? What parts of it have been independently verified? For the part that is not, shouldn't it be at least indicated ? DGG ( talk ) 01:38, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I originally nominated the article for deletion, since I didn't find any independant sources to support the notability claim. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Solomon Radasky. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 15:52, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To the point of deletion, the decision was unanimous and that decision was made, that is not longer a point of contention, there were numerous books and articles that covered this man. DGG, can you direct me to a standard that exists which specifically states that doubt should be cast on someone like a Holocaust Survivors who reported their experiences to researchers and other secondary sources who's job is to conduct independent verification of the facts? I've not personally seen anything like this on any other survivor of genocide's page, or even those who have published memoirs who are not Holocaust Survivors? I 100% support that we should not take things at face value or be biased, as it is our job as editors to respond to both sides if a controversy exists regarding facts, truths, or discrepancies, but has any of those been raised against this man or anything he said? If they exist, we should of course include them, but I cannot find any personally. Also, the main body of the articles begins by saying, "According to his account," which clearly states that it is his experiences that he has claimed set forth, that seems to me as a clear indication that it is his own words?
