Valdemārs Klētnieks

Created by JGHowes (talk). Nominated by Evrik (talk) at 18:25, 26 August 2020 (UTC).

  •  Comment: I've added Alt1 which is reliably sourced by a newspaper clipping, albeit printed in Latvian. The other hook is problematic, because some sources indicate that Kletnieks remained in Latvia after the execution of Goppers until 1944.  JGHowes  talk 01:35, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
  • I'd say ALT1 is also problematic, both because the source seemingly doesn't mention burning (it says 'destroy' from what I gather, notably the burning of literature has a specific historical connotation. In this case, regardless of how the books were destroyed and in what quantities, it would presumably not have been as a public ritual) and secondly because just saying 'the communists' is quite ambiguous. Who were the ones carrying out the action? Soviet military forces? NKVD? The Latvian Communist Party? --Soman (talk) 21:32, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
  • Template:U, Thanks for noting the apparent mis-translation. I've changed the article and Alt1 hook to "destroyed". The cited newspaper article simply says "komunisti", without further specifying.  JGHowes  talk 23:15, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
