The sourcing is sorely lacking, with the only source being a lecture that mentions the massacre only in passing. The massacre, if real, seems to be extremely obscure and one of many non-notable WWII war crimes. CJ-Moki (talk) 01:58, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the event is the subject of a 7 page chapter in The Wehrmacht War Crimes Bureau, 1939–1945 by Alfred-Maurice de Zayas, which says the killings stand out for their needless cruelty[1]. The event gets picked up in the news when Feodosia is discussed as it has been recently due to war in Crimea[2]. There are other sources, but these were readily available.

Keep the Zayas source plus other mentions appears to be sufficient evidence of notability. —Michael Z. 15:12, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The zayas source long predates wikipedia, so that rules out WP:CITOGENESIS (JayPlaysStuff | talk to me | What I've been up to) 01:11, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
