Why couldn't I find all these Cold War studies??[edit]

Hi, article creator here.
I've been working on this article in the draftspace for quite some time, most of which I spent researching. When I started it, I thought that finding Cold War-esque estimates of nuclear deaths would be easy, but boy was I wrong. Maybe I'm just not a good source finder, but I really couldn't find the sources I was looking for. But come hellfire or brimstone, I want this article to be written!
I have now un-drafted it and moved it to the mainspace, because it is borderline usable. I am hoping that through my tagging etc some more seasoned wikians can come and help me salvage this article. So, if you happen to know a study about this topic, from the Cold War era or other eras, let me know! Drop a message on this talk page (or add them yourself if you got the time). Just please don't be too quick to nominate for deletion due to the lacking context - give it time to grow :) - or at least give it some time to re-draft.

I've created a subpage for storing non-article sources to look close at or to just have handy. Mostly for myself. Thankful for cooperation, thankful for Wikipedia, Gaioa (click to talk) 17:09, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
