Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Massacre of Running Waters
The nominator doesn't present any -REASON|policy-based reason. The claim that {{tq|thhis article relies exclusively on claims made by an unreliable source}} is obviously wrong – it cites 6 sources. The nominator's characterization of Ted Strehlow is not supported by his article. Blainey is a highly credentialed prolific author and academic. His views on Aboriginal history, as shown in ''Triumph of the Nomads'' (1975) and subsequent publications, have been described as groundbreaking and sympathetic to Aboriginal people. The article's creator's circumstances should play no role in assessing the article. It is unclear which phrases the nominator objects to, and irrelevant pictures have been removed. It is also unclear how the article {{tq|was created to make Aboriginal Australians look like violent barbarians and play down the brutality of colonialism.}} The nomination the descends into a blatant assumption of bad faith and hypothesis, appealing to evidence of absence, and presenting an unrelated link
