The idea of "Deir ez-Zor Camps" which the article is based on is a fictional concept. There is no single research published using the title "Deir ez-Zor Camps" and the google search [1] only gives 10 web pages that are mirrors of this article in Wikipedia. The references used in the article mentions Armenians being perished around the town "Deir ez-Zor," but none uses the term "Deir ez-Zor Camps." In the case of the first citation used in the article; there is no single sentence in the book that matches "great "killing center."" Google Book Search results in "Your search - Search results for 'Deir ez-Zor camps were a great killing center' - did not match any documents." The article is original research or original thought of the autor. There is not any independent sources of sufficient depth that covers this topic.

Nordic, look at Google books: for example,
is handily rebutted by the fact that per WP:VAlso, the article does not present sufficient proof regarding these camps. A camp has an establishment and/or demolition date. A camp has a size; How many people? How long they lived in this place? What is the survival rate? If there is a camp, there is a responsible person for that camp. Who were the managers of these camps? A camp is an institution. Where is institutional information?
So, if third-party RS verify the existence of this article's subject - and it seems that quite a few RS do - then based on what the sources describe happening at the Deir ez-Zor Camps meeting any sensible standard of notability, this article should be kept.
