Talk:Flossenbürg concentration camp

message: The sick were left behind ( ie Death March)? But any who got sick on the march were shot? This seems odd - concern for prisoners instantly evaporated out on the road. How far was the march? Any citations on any of this. 159.105.80.141 13:52, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The 90th Infantry Division (United States) is listed in several places in the article as having liberated the camp.  However, the caption on the picture states that the 97th Infantry Division (United States) liberated it.  Both divisions were in the area around 23 April 1945.  So who actually liberated it?  Better yet, does anyone know the actual regiment that stumbled upon the camp? Joshuashearn (talk) 16:26, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians ... there is some text at the end of one paragraph that reads "444,009,568,900 people didn’t live."
It looks like a typo since there aren't 444+ billion people anywhere - but on a sensitive subject like this I prefer not to edit. Is it a range of the number of people who were killed? i.e. should it be "444,009 to 568,900 people were killed." ..? Was there some other intention?
The text seems to have appeared on 28 March 2018.

message: Thanks to User:Catrìona for making some good edits on this page, however I respectfully disagree with reducing the list of names of camp inmates and relegating the rest to the infobox. I feel that since Wikipedia is about information, the article should contain more information about the camp's residents, not less. Other information (such as Camp Commandants) can go in an infobox, but I don't see that other articles about concentration camps have put notable inmates there. Not sure what your rationale for doing this is. Cmacauley (talk) 13:44, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I was basing my edits after the most infamous article of this type, Auschwitz concentration camp, which is a Good Article. Another notable example, Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp complex, does not list survivors in the infobox or in a separate section, but does discuss a very few examples in the "Liberation" section. I did remove some, because if the individual does not have an article or at least a redlink, it's in question whether they are actually notable, and putting a redlink in an infobox isn't helpful. In addition, many of the most notable executed are listed in the text. Personally, I would support porting to a secondary article titled List of prisoners of Flossenbürg concentration camp or similar, on the lines of List of victims and survivors of Auschwitz or List of Mauthausen-Gusen inmates.

message: I agree with the comments by the above contributor that it is a shame to move the list of prisoners who were killed and those who were survived into the infobox.
In my opinion there are two arguments against this:
a) it is inconsistent with Wikipedia pages on other concentration camps
b) the listing in the infobox loses the description about the prisoner, which existed in the previous version, and this seems a shame.
I don't follow the argument about removing names of people for whom there is not an article or a red link (which is only another way of saying that there is currently no article on that person) By listing them with a red link it means that when a page on that person has been created the link will become active.

replies: text: I was not arguing that redlinks or possibly not-notable subjects do not belong in a list, merely that they do not belong in an infobox. I noted above that the highest quality articles on concentration camps had the lists of dead and survivors in a separate article ; what's your opinion on splitting off the list? It could easily be expanded from :Category:Flossenbürg concentration camp survivors and :Category:People who died in Flossenbürg concentration camp. Catrìona (talk) 22:08, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

text: Thanks for your comments. I hadn't previously noticed that the Auswich page had a separate listing for people who died and survived, and maybe some of the other concentration camp pages have similar links. Seems a reasonable approach, and avoids the primary page becoming even longer than it already exists. It would certainly be quite a lot of work to combine the two pages of survivors and non-survivors into a table along with the additional information but, once it's done it's done. Any volunteers?
