Possible sources

What are the people who reenact 20th Century wars up to?
[1] War Games: Inside the World of Twentieth-Century War Reenactors by Jenny Thompson (Smithsonian, 2004)

External links; OR

I removed the external links -- these are non official YT channels (pls see WP:Ext. I also found the videos objectionable. Pls lmk if we need to discuss. K.e.coffman (talk) 16:03, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I also tagged the article WP:OR as much of the content is uncited and appears to be original research. K.e.coffman (talk) 16:21, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weight and coatrack issues

This article in its previous state was an under-sourced overview of the topic with some coverage of critical responses to particular aspects. The current version is a coatrack for criticism lacking any overview or encyclopedic coverage of the nominal subject. Please expand the coverage of the topic with any sources available and attempt to rebalance the commentary. LargelyRecyclable (talk) 17:35, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

World War II reenactment → Waffen-SS reenactment – The article used to be a mostly uncited / OR-based fan page: 2015 version; this material was subsequently removed. What's cited in the article is on the topic of Waffen-SS reenactment. Sufficient sources exist to establish notability for this topic in its own right; samples: Man of War: My Adventures in the World of Historical Reenactment, by Charlie Schroeder; Wargames: From Gladiators to Gigabytes, By Martin van Creveld, Bearing Witness: Perspectives on War and Peace from the Arts and Humanities, edited by Sherrill Grace et al; plus the material already cited in the article.

Waffen-SS reenactment is banned in several countries and remains controversial in the English-speaking world. Therefore, there's substantial coverage in RS of the topic, so a redirect may be appropriate. If anybody wishes to create a WW2 reenactment article, they would be able to turn the redirect into a stand-alone page. Another option is to split Waffen-SS reenactment from this article while leaving a stub behind for future development. There have been concerns about the scope of the article (see above), so I hope they can be addressed by either a move or a split. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:20, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be more inclined to split them, as there are plenty of reenactors playing Allied or Heer units.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:15, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to be a coatrack POV article and I would question whether it has any place in WP at all in its present form. Regards. Cinderella157 (talk) 01:32, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that the POV issues can be more effectively addressed if the scope of the article is redefined to focus on the Waffen-SS reenactment. If the POV challenges are insurmountable, then the article can be nominated for deletion. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:09, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
