No such coverage in the literature. The article collects isolated incidents and tries to create the impression that Polish-Belarusian relations in the period 1921-1954 (where do these dates even come from?) were characterized by "ethnic conflict."

Rewrite except of deleting the article it should be rewritten and goodly explain the situation, like massacres, skirmishes, and battles that took place during the conflict.Olek Novy (talk) 16:22, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What battles? There was no single Polish-Belarusian battle. The only massacre of Belarusians was the activity of Rajs unit in January-February 1946 that took lives of c. 70 people. It's well covered in 1946 pacification of villages by PAS NZW Marcelus (talk) 16:53, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There were some skirmishes. Olek Novy (talk) 17:51, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: We can't close an AFD with a decision to Rewrite. First, there must be a decision to Keep the article and then interested editors can work on improving the article. But there can't be a decision (to who?) to "rewrite".
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:35, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Marcelus, though i wanted to rewrite the article it would not make any sense. The article is based primarily on Belarusian and Russian sources who accuse the Poles of killing about 500 Belarusians. The Belarusians already accused the Poles of mass murders (47th District of Brest (Home Army)). Except of this article i would make pages about the Leripol Massacre and many more murders, while i think the Anti-Communist Polish underground in Belarus would need its own article.
