read the context; it does not cite Wikipedia as authoritive, it cites Wikipedia as giving scholastic credence to Holocaust denial
'''Holocaust denial''' is a belief, a subterfuge, that the Nazi [[Holocaust]] did not occur, or occurred to a lesser extent than believed by the preponderance of scholars. Holocaust deniers assert that the Nazis did not attempt to exterminate the [[Jews]] (as well as political opponents, Gypsies, Catholics and other Christian church members opposed to his policies, mentally retarded individuals, homosexuals, etc.) during [[World War II]].

A variation of holocaust denial admits that the Nazis did these [[crimes against humanity]] but denies that Hitler gave the order to do so, such as the theories propounded by David Irving and given scholastic credence by [[Wikipedia]]. <ref> Wikipedia contributors, "Wannsee Conference," Wikipedia, ''The Free Encyclopedia'', http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wannsee_Conference#_note-8 (accessed April 19, 2007). </ref>
The holocaust denial view point has no support amongst any significant number of scholars. This denial is partly a result of a growing number of [[Existentialism|existentialist]] thinkers who refer to history as simply a myth as well as the result of the efforts of history revisionists and anti-Zionists.
