Sourcing[edit]

Axis Biographical Research is a self-published defunct website by amateur historians and WWII buffs. The authors are not recognized experts in the field, and have not been previously published by reputable, independent, third-party publications. Per WP:RS and WP:SPS, these kinds of sources cannot be used as references for Wikipedia articles. The most they can be used for is as External Links. ABR has an extensive bibliography, which is what it is actually most useful for in terms of sourcing Wikipedia articles. If the sources it cites qualify as reliable sources and support specific information in this article, then those are the sources that should be cited, with specific reference to which information, which source, which page, and not a self-published amateur website. Anybody can start a webpage and post an extensively-researched article on it...but that does not mean that it is a reliable source. There were literally hundreds of articles at Wikipedia sourced to these sites, all done several years ago when Wikipedia wasn't so scrupulous about sourcing. That is no longer the case. The editor who repeatedly keeps restoring these references has been repeatedly warned in the past about edit warring on these WWII-related articles, and has thus far made no effort to discuss the issue, which is, frankly, open-and-shut.

Historical denial[edit]

User:Hoops gza has asserted that there was never a discussion about the criteria for inclusion on this list. However, it is clearly stated on this article that it is a sublist of List of Nazis, where he participated in that discussion himself. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 18:48, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
