The result was delete. While this is quite obviously
WP:POINT, the main AfD based reason for deleting, as articulated by many of the editors commenting here, is that it is
WP:SYNTH.

Comment I can't help remarking that this is a classic instance in which aggressively early AFD nomination (hours after creation) is disruptive. The article has evolved a bit, and has the beginnings of sourcing - now 2 books and a peer reviewed article, plus a quote from Marx which indicates a clear direction for developing the article. Which makes the early Delete - no sources !votes now irrelevant. It becomes increasingly clear even at this early stage that there is such a thesis worth documenting appropriately, in which case any issues should be resolved by editing, not deletion.

Keep Since the nominator has re-named the article Mass Killings caused by Capitalism, the nomination is moot. The nominator has stated that under this new name "there will be less chance of wp:or and wp:synth". I asked him to move the article back until the AfD was completed, but he has chosen not to do this. Also, the reason given for nominating the article was WP:POINT, which is not a reason for deletion. While the nominator correctly pointed out on the article's talk page that the article should have been better developed before it was created, it would have been more helpful to see whether these issues could be addressed before nominating for deletion. There is currently conversation on the article talk page about sources, and I think it would be more helpful to close the AfD and see if the discussion is productive.
