Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mass killings under Communist regimes (2nd nomination)
The topic of the large-scale killings that have occurred under several Communist regimes in the twentieth century, why they occurred, what their commonalities are, and what their differences are is a notable subject discussed in several reliable, secondary, academic sources, four of which I quote and cite below for the benefit of skeptical editors. Because there are multiple labels for the events collectively in the sources, and because the original title was not considered neutral, the current title is descriptive (using a phrase, "mass killings", from one of the main sources) and a section is provided to explain all other terminology that is used. Despite existing for less than one year (not five as the nominator wrote above), the article is extensively sourced. Discussion is currently under way to improve it further. The article does not violate  because it is about exactly what it claims to be about: mass killings under Communist regimes. The article does not violate  because it is weighted similarly to the sources in focusing on the big three: the USSR, China, and Cambodia. Every attempt has been made to maintain , including changing the title. The article does not violate  because there was never a main article from which this one branched and because the article is written neutrally and does not push one explanation over another. (Some editors have thought about creating such a parent article into which this can be merged, but I don't think that would be a good idea because the article as it exists describes a distinct and notable topic which deserves and can support its own page. It's also fairly long. Merging it into an article such as Mass killings in the twentieth century would either make that article much too long or involve losing much of this one. The parent article could certainly be created, but it wouldn't mean that this one should be deleted.) The article does not violate  because of the academic nature of the sources upon which it is based. The following are excerpts from four such sources with which I am familiar, quoted at length here to put to rest the notion that the topic is an invention or a synthesis of "bits and pieces of different things
