==== Summary of dispute by Odysseus1479 ====
I haven‘t been involved long enough to summarize with any cogency or add to what‘s been covered above in that regard—I just commented on a couple of papers that were brought up at [[WP:FTN]]. That said, since others are also stating their positions, I‘ll try and briefly offer a few random ‘outside’ opinions. What I gather of Freeman‘s hypothesis from the article is that to call it “extermination” is something of a caricature, as it includes enslavement, expulsion, and so on—but that may be nitpicking. I don‘t think the essential idea, in some nuanced form, is “fringe“ either. Ignoring all the challenges and complications, or bringing along whatever chauvinistic baggage Freeman may have had, would be another matter. But nobody expects a 150-year-old work to be up to current standards, and I don’t think the article presents it so. Outdated ideas often have paedagogical value, and hold some interest with regard to the history of a discipline, even if they‘ve become irrelevant to modern researchers. Regarding the genetic evidence, it seems to me far from conclusive. One problem is distinguishing ‘insular’ genomes from ‘continental’, especially considering the similarity between ‘Celtic‘ and ‘Germanic‘ peoples (certainly in the eyes of classical authors), and demonstrated by the wide variations in various studies‘ results; another is that modern statistical distributions can say little about the population’s history, making it hard to distinguish an ‘invasion‘ from a process that may have been begun with the Iron Age or earlier; and even stipulating a discernible change in the post-Roman period there are several possible mechanisms, aside from extermination, to explain that. Overall I think the article does pretty well WRT neutrality on the question.—[[User:Odysseus1479|Odysseus]][[User talk:Odysseus1479|'''<font color="slateblue">1</font><font color="darkviolet">4</font><font color="purple">7</font>''']][[Special:Contributions/Odysseus1479|'''<font color="maroon">9</font>''']] 09:13, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

I am not involved in this dispute per se, in that I have no particular interest in the content of the article, other than having insisted on reliable sourcing for any assertions made by either side. As most of the sources are in Serbian, that further removes me from active content opinions here. I became aware of this after seeing [[H.R.H. Prince Predrag R. Obrenović]] cross NPP as an unsourced blp. The disputed page was linked from that so I went there to find the same unsourced claims being added there. I reverted their addition once then went to the talk page to let the IP know that sources were required. That's all I've been asking for. N Jordan's summary is accurate from what I've observed: the IP insists that their version is correct but cannot provide sources other than suggesting someone write to a Serbian court for their ruling. If it can be proven via reliable source then so much the better for everyone. Failing that, I think N Jordan's offer of a compromise describing the claims and claimants is quite collegial given potential undue-weight concerns.

{{ping|Robert McClenon}} I made a preliminary above but as implied there, I don't have a lot to contribute content-wise to this dispute. To your second statement above, the crux of the dispute (I believe) is the IPs addition of the unsourced statement about Predrag R. Obrenović. I don't believe anything in the article as it stands is disputed by the IP, but that they wish to add that information on a claimant to the Serbian throne without a reliable source. I suspect the IP has been dissuaded from the dispute by the full-prot currently on the page. What may happen when that expires, we shall have to see. I would prefer the edit war not resume of course.
