Lead sentence[edit]

@Dylanvt, hi, I was checking the PBS source in the lead and the source doesn’t say “war crime”. Can you provide a source that says these were war crimes to avoid WP:OR issues? If info is not supported by any sources, it should be removed per WP:VERIFY.

Merge proposal[edit]

I propose merging Nasser Hospital mass graves into Nasser Hospital siege. So far, the content here is summarized by a small paragraph with a majority of the article dedicated to the background. I think it would serve our readers better to have this content included on the main page Nasser Hospital siege than to have a unnecessary topic SPLIT. Further, as of right now, I don't think the site itself reaches WP:NOTABILITY independently of the siege. There have been WP:V issues with the content of this page, and I think instead of trying to establish things on multiple pages, the overall POV of the project can remain more consistent and centralized in the larger article than in the fragmented topic article. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 16:15, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wait. The news broke of these mass graves only yesterday, and the death toll looks to be significantly higher as two mass graves are yet to be exhumed. The siege also took place largely in January and February, whereas the mass graves had only been exhumed yesterday. This is more likely to be reminiscent of the Battle of Izium in March 2022 and the Izium mass graves discovered that September. Jebiguess (talk) 18:53, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge The article was created with the description "2024 massacre of Palestinians by Israel" so needless to say this was not created with patience for the facts to emerge in mind. Merge immediately and then restore to an independent page once facts are confirmed to necessitate otherwise. Mistamystery (talk) 03:54, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wait: per Jebiguess. CarmenEsparzaAmoux (talk) 17:31, 24 April 2024 (UTC); edited 17:34, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: If we decide to merge, it should be to Gaza Strip mass graves, since the Nasser and al-Shifa mass graves are often mentioned together by the sources. —Trilletrollet [ Talk | Contribs ] 13:08, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As nominator support alternative destination per Trilletrollet. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 14:16, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strongest possible oppose. The discovery of mass graves is an extremely serious stand-alone event (one which has prompted an international response) that can't be lumped in with the siege article. 〜 Festucalex • talk 11:48, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
