[edit]

The article is well intentioned but it seems WP:XY to me. Both of these phenomena are already listed, separately, at extermination camp and Aktion T4#Number of euthanasia victims. (t · c) buidhe 03:25, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think the qualifies as a legitimate list as a Summary style meta-article WP:SUMMARY. List >> Extermination Camps >> Chelmno. WP:SPINOFF "Essentially, it is generally acceptable to have different levels of detail of a subject in different articles, provided that each provides a balanced view of the subject matter." I could be wrong, but I hope not. I do respect your feedback and experience.   // Timothy :: talk  06:37, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
User:TimothyBlue, while I understand that you are currently going for the WP:SUMMARY option here, this list-article might be better served as a stand-alone list without prose attached to the items of the lists. If you'd like to add a few details about the items on the list, a table format with a few columns (e.g., date opened, date closed, location, estimated number of victims) could still be appropriate for a stand-alone list. The Nazi euthanasia article contains such a list already ([1]), which could be moved or copied here, and serves as an example of this 'expanded list' style -- but is still a list, not prose.
In a list article, additional details and prose about the items which are listed would be more appropriate for the full article. However, introductory prose sentences explaining or giving context to the list(s) are appropriate, even desirable (see MOS:LEADFORALIST). --Chefallen (talk) 03:39, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Chefallen Thanks for your feedback, I had wondered about the amount of detail I was adding. I made some changes based on your feedback and think its an improvement. Hope you're doing well.   // Timothy :: talk  05:34, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
