Deletion of 1660 Safed massacre

Comment: I have not reverted any more of your edits. You are adding sources such as Christian inspirational publishers and Zionist advocates that fail 's requirement of high quality sources for exceptional claims. You also re-added the lede which says, in Wikipedia's voice, that a massacre occurred. Again, there is not a single professional historian quoted saying a massacre happened in Safed in 1660. Also, please remember . All edits I made were to remove patently unreliable sources, synthesis and unsourced assertions, consistent with my understanding of our verifiability and sourcing rules

Comment: by nominator. I would argue Peters is not a reliable source. At last no controversial assertion of historical fact should be sourced solely to Peters. (From our article on From Time Immemorial citing a 1985 NY Times article: "Israeli historian Yehoshua Porath described the book as a "sheer forgery," stating that "in Israel, at least, the book was almost universally dismissed as sheer rubbish except maybe as a propaganda weapon.") Nor could I find other reliable sources saying there was a massacre in Safed in 1660. Scholem, a reliable source, says there wasn't.  says, "Material must be attributable to a source with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy, which is appropriate for the claim being made." Peters doesn't qualify, so we have no such source to support the article
