  1. Even ignoring the questionable motivations behind this draft, it's just not worth its own article and is at most worth a section in another article. Just get rid of this. Plutocow (talk) 20:24, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
  2. The title suggests where this is going. Check Uyghur genocide. (っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Natsuki Marx ♥ (talk) 20:25, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

  1. I'm ambivalent. Yeah the article's shit but it raises some valid points, like Soviet involvement in the Xinjiang conflict. I'd say to make it a subsection of the already existing article on the Uyghur genocide, but the deletionists are probably gonna get their way. Carthage (talk) 20:56, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
Is there a citation for the "genocide hoaxes" being a part of this though? I'm not seeing a result in Google. "Genocide" is not mentioned at all in the Google books referenced, except for two instances referring to the current conflict and one reference to "cultural genocide" in a round-table from 2005.
Adding the Soviet involvement as background to the Uighur genocide article would be welcome, but this draft is crap. BobJohnson (talk) 21:34, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
