[edit] The Banja-Luka babies tragedy

Delete. It's an entirely non-neutral dramatised account of an event which is actually not very significant. Eleven babies died- but over 100,000 people died in the Bosnian War; the fact that supplies didn't get through during wartime is not entirely surprising, either. Even the title is non-neutral, and sentences such as "The humanitarian organizations wait, only death does not wait." do not belong in wikipedia. --Dandelions 18:44, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

• It is possible that the point of view issues could be addressed with a change in the article title and a top-to-bottom rewrite. However, the article provides no sources at all, let alone reliable ones, and hence is not verifiable. Delete. Sliggy 20:40, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. Encyclopedia isn't collection of stories, however tragical. Pavel Vozenilek 22:48, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete WP is not a memorial to the dead This event may be notable but the focus of the article is POV on two individuals in relation to political decisions. This article distorts the nature of those decisions by removing them from context and placing undue emphasis on just one of the consequential events. The title of the article is also partisan. Finally, it is poorly-written and reads as a piece of bad purple prose rather than an encyclopædic effort, as required by the manual of style.  (aeropagitica)  23:26, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: sentimental narrative, not an encyclopedic article. At best the first sentence might find its way into some other article. Peter Grey 21:58, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
• DONT DELETE!: Start Sarcasm - Please remove anything which suggests Serbs are human beings who suffered too, cos, as we all know, Serbs are just willful aggressors and it was the poor poor Muslims who suffered the brunt of all the hardships during the war. i think that - the prevailing 'Western' view is the BS POV nonsense that needs to be deleted - not an article by someone whose first language is obviously not English ... in my opinion this should be cleaned up and referenced - I vote AGAINST deletion.A simple Google Search makes it easy to VERIFY SLIGGY: click here lazy Sliggy --86.141.244.72 05:02, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Eleven babies- who were likely going to die anyway, judging by what happened to the last two- died. I guess that means that all of the hardship in the war was borne entirely by the Serbs, huh?

Oh my how compassionate of you. No it means that the Western media is biased against the Serbs. Those poor poor Albanian Muslims who we fought to 'save' are now the biggest Heroin cartel in Europe - I talk, of coure, of the KLA.

Take a muslims side and look where it gets you - 9/11 and 7/7. Time for the West to learn from its mistake and side with the Serbs.
