Bình An/Tây Vinh massacre

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This page has been tagged for refimprove since November 2011 but no additional refs have been provided. It relies largely on a single reference which does not appear to be WP:RS. If 1200 people really were massacred, you would expect more coverage than this. It may be an exaggeration or may be a WP:HOAX like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vinh Xuan massacre, whichever it is it should not be retained on Wikipedia unless WP:RS are given.

Comment -- perhaps Wikiprojects Vietnam and South Korea should be consulted? Language barrier would be a big issue for English-only editors. K.e.coffman (talk) 18:43, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I came here from WPKOREA but I don't speak Korean well enough to help. Hopefully some native speakers will be able to provide a review of sources. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:52, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- I reached out to both projects, but there's been no feedback. In view of that, I suggest deleting the article, as an unconfirmed event, or a potential hoax. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:12, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - that it would be a hoax is pure speculation. clearly there are some sources. keep is the best option so that users can work on it. BabbaQ (talk) 17:44, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is the issue, no-one has worked on it and no WP:RS have been provided since 2011, so it may well be a hoax. Mztourist (talk) 03:09, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
