Fake document. Proven photo-montage. See here. --E4024 (talk) 12:01, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I don't know how Turkey News can be considered a reliable source, when that photograph has been printed in a number of third party sources. --Երևանցի talk 00:52, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Remove Turquie News is not the source of the info, Australian historian Jeremy Salt is. The web site quoted above is just printing the info. Many third parties that have fallen in the disinformation can not be a reason to keep being wrong.

The Armenian Yerevanci do not consider famous historician Australien Jeremy's comments as a reliable source. Do you have any reliable source that the picture is not fake? This is racist and disgusting. Mr Yerevanci, I will begin a legal process aganist you and Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.162.2.186 (talk) 22:34, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Remove It is a fake. Two references by Mr. Prof. Salt, both in Turkish_ [1] [2] Sbasturk (talk) 23:05, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Salt is a known genocide denier, so appeal to authority is even less of an argument than usual 80.145.35.124 (talk) 22:31, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Remove This photo is a well known fake recognized as so by every single serious historian who studies Ottoman Empire and/or Turkey history. Keeping it is pointless and only serves the few ones who try to defame historians like Jeremy Salt, as some of them wrote here. --79.174.227.145 (talk) 10:21, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but change its title and description. The question of what the image shows, and what its origin is, has nothing to do with keeping or deleting the image. The place for that sort of dicussion is in any articles that use the image. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 20:21, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Some clarification. This photo is part of a series of similar images. They don't depict real Armenian Genocide events or conditions but simulate them. They were produced just after the end of WW1 for fund-raising purposes to raise funds to help survivors and rescue Armenian women and children being held as slaves by Turks / Kurds / Arabs. I doubt that they were produced to be deliberate fakes, but over time their origin was forgotten and they came to be thought of by non-specialists as actual depictions of real events. The image has historical interest, and there are no copyright restrictions on it, so it should be kept. It just has to be used properly.
