I have asked for deletion of the main page so that the material can be moved there. At present it is at Turkey’s Unknown Schindlers/Definition, which is for a much shorter summary of the content. That said, I am unsure whether the material is maintainable anyway, as it reads like an essay rather than an encyclopaedia article. John Stephenson 07:58, 5 Oc tober 2010 (UTC)

It ought to - the entire text appears to have been taken from this page. The author is the same though. David Finn 08:07, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
This shows that even the new Metadata form does not prevent mistakes ...
I think that it can be the basis for an article, but not as "Turkey' Unknown Schindlers". This is a good headline for a newspaper, but not for an encyclopedic article. I am not sure what title to suggest. Perhaps: Behiç Erkin, at least for now? --Peter Schmitt 09:09, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
I've deleted the page at John's request and I'll let you decide if you want anything salvaged here or elsewhere. D. Matt Innis 11:38, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
