Need for references and sources ?
editThe note stating that "This article does not cite any references or sources" needs to be removed. The article merely lists the data (ISBN, publisher, etc) of the book's editions and contains the briefest description of its content. What other "references" and "sources" could be needed?

- I agree - I think publishing details are probably sufficient as references for an article about a book. I have removed the template. Terraxos 20:59, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
What about a criticism section? 75.3.227.236 (talk) 06:21, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Notability status
editI object to the deletion of this article. I think it is notable per WP:NB because it meets this criterion: "The book has been considered by reliable sources to have made a significant contribution to a notable or significant motion picture, or other art form, or event or political or religious movement." Charny's Encyclopedia of Genocide, as well as few other sources—which I concede have disputable notability—claim that the book was significant: "The book went on to become influential in the Holocaust denial movement."[1]; and "Arthur Butz's place among the purveyors of Holocaust denial is secured by his 1976 book, The Hoax of the Twentieth Century, one of the first major works of Holocaust denial in the English language."[2] --Mark Otaris (talk) 08:36, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
IP continually deleting sourced text and a category at The Hoax of the Twentieth Century
editI've raised this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism#Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism. Doug Weller talk 18:09, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- And after reading the headers above, a better place, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Jewish history. Doug Weller talk 18:11, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- He's back at it. 🔯 Sir Joseph 🍸(talk) 20:55, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
Removal from Amazon
editI think this should be mentioned as it got quite a bit of media coverage. I suggest:
In 2017 Amazon.com removed the book along with other holocaust-denying books from its US and UK sites.[1][2]
