Per COI I would prefer not to get involved more than this discussion on the
mailing list. I will say that a pre-determined approach calling one side as
a minority opinion may be problematic. You may know this but both sides on
such controversial issues exaggerate their claims. You even see fake/forged
documents... So it is important to have an open mind and avoid
pre-determined views.
No one would call the atomic bombings of Japan as a mere picnic. Likewise
not everybody would call it a genocide. A balance is important.
Classification and recognition of Armenian Genocide may be a seperate
article just like in the deal with atomic bombings - just an idea.
I really do not envy the task in front of you.

I'm interested in this incident, too (it was this

me interested in it), but surely, this thread is not the place to
debate what did or didn't happen in Armenia in 1915, or what the
event should be called. Please, let's confine the debate on that
issue and meta-issue to the article's talk page. If we talk
about anything here on the mailing list, it should be on the
meta-meta-issue of how to apply NPOV to a really contentious
article when the opposing viewpoint is in the minority and almost
certainly wrong, or on the meta-meta-meta-issue of how small and
uninfluential a minority viewpoint has to be before it's truly
"fringe" and deserving of 0% coverage. Thanks.
