Is Bradley Smith a "significant figure" when he doesn't have an article?

Every single other figure and topic in this section has its own article; Bradley is not notable and having 2 paragraphs on him in the "significant figures" section when there are plenty of notable Holocaust deniers not here is very bizarre. I dislike that his redirect targets here and I don't think such a minor player is important enough for such a major, high-level article per WP:SUMMARYSTYLE. I would suggest we move this material to the Institute for Historical Review page, which is what Bradley is mostly of relevance to (while technically a different organization they were very related and it was more or less a schism). I volunteer to do so if there is consensus for it. PARAKANYAA (talk) 05:31, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Seems reasonable, but I don't have an informed opinion. I note he's also mentioned under Holocaust_denial#Terminology_and_etymology. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 06:05, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please change:

  • The figure of 5 to 6 million Jewish deaths is a gross exaggeration, and the actual number is an order of magnitude lower, with many online claims saying only 271,000 Jews were murdered.[1]

To:

  • The figure of 5 to 6 million Jewish deaths is a gross exaggeration, and the actual number is an order of magnitude lower, with many online claims saying only 271,301 Jews were murdered.[2]

The document from International Red Cross, Arolsen, West Germany https://imgur.com/KYNU0Ut actually adds up to 271,304 not 271,301 52,389+6,507+20,501+17,842+18,259+7,925+5,570+77,727+6,920+7,187+3,944+4,785+41,748 = 271,304

Another document dated Jan 16, 1984 https://imgur.com/6ZJXbn7 gives the total figure as 282,077 H3r08r1n3 (talk) 16:59, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done due to conflicting information. We have to choose one number. NotJamestack (✉️|📝) 17:02, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Edits of 12-15-25

I've twice removed the following material: Similarly, online, deniers often elaborate on this by claiming that the doors of gas chambers, some of which were made out of wood, were not airtight enough for the gas chambers to have worked correctly, assertion that has been thrououghly debunked. Several issues here: (1) the sentence is badly overlinked. We don't link commonplace words, and everyone who edits Wikipedia knows what "online" means, and there's no particular reason to link it to Internet; (2) gas chamber was already linked in the article, so we don't need to link it here once, much less twice; (3) it was put under Holocaust denial#United States, for no particular reason; (4) then it was put under Holocaust denial#Maurice Bardèche, for no reason I can discern at all -- it's certainly not about that person, nor about the main heading "Significant individuals and organizations". Perhaps it might be appropriate at Evidence and documentation for the Holocaust#Use of gas chambers. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 16:06, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see, I will follow your suggestions. Thank you for your criticism and for your time. Mllhnkz (talk) 00:09, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
