(LifeSiteNews) — Wikipedia is considering deleting an article that highlights the brutal mass killings committed by communist regimes, citing “multiple issues” with the content of the page, including disputed “neutrality.”
The editable web encyclopedia flagged the article entitled “Mass killings under communist regimes” for potential removal, adding a heading detailing the “issues” some volunteer editors have found with the page.
Among the “issues” cited by Wikipedia justifying the possible erasure of the article are alleged problems with the page’s “neutrality” and “accuracy.” Wikipedia also contends that the page “possibly contains synthesis of material which does not verifiably mention or relate to the main topic.”

The article targeted for removal summarizes the “executions, deaths from man-made and intentional famines, as well as deaths that have occurred during forced labor, deportations, or imprisonment” under communist regimes both current and historical, including the Soviet Union, the People’s Republic of China, and the communist government of East Germany after World War II.
