Talk:Mya Thwe Thwe Khaing

Merger discussion

Per concerns at Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates#RD:_Mya_Thwe_Thwe_Khaing, I think this article should be merged to the 2021 Myanmar protests. --Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 15:39, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

• Merge or delete and redirect to 2021 Myanmar protests per my comments at ITN. This is a textbook case of WP:BLP1E. I'll note this is similar to the recent discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ashli Babbitt, which resulted in a deletion of that page and a redirect as the page did not have much significant info itself.

• Merge or delete and redirect to 2021 Myanmar protests It's just WP:BLP1E. Protesters are trying to create a martyr out of her (the coverage of the death/killing of a police officer is artifically supressed while her death is artifically magaphoned). There's no indication that the effort will be successful. For now at least, WP:IE applies. SSH remoteserver (talk) 18:00, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
• Restructure - Her death meets notability guidelines and has received wide domestic and international coverage. Said article should ideally be restructured along the lines of Death of Rebecca Zahau or Death of JonBenét Ramsey, which meet WP:EVENT but not WP:BLP1E, with a content focus on their deaths and aftermaths. Her death has been covered by all the major newswire agencies (AP, Reuters 1, Reuters 2, AFP, Kyodo).--Hintha(t) 18:35, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Isn't an article about her death essentially that of the protest itself? We have articles like Killing of George Floyd because those events triggered unrest. I don't see her death being anything other than a single civilian casualty of the protests. It neither triggered nor led to anything (as of now). She's dead and reported in the news. By the same token, we'll have "Death of" articles about pretty much every living person with an article on Wikipedia. SSH remoteserver (talk) 19:10, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

• Merge or delete and redirect to 2021 Myanmar protests It's a clear WP:BLP1E. CommanderWaterford (talk) 20:30, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
• Merge or delete and redirect to 2021 Myanmar protests or restrusture per all of the comments above; it's a violation of WP:BLP1E. I do also agree with Hintha. Tucker Gladden 👑 23:25, 19 February 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tucker Gladden (talk • contribs)
• Merge or delete and redirect to 2021 Myanmar protests, also because of WP:BLP1E concerns. Ref ^(chew)(do) 23:57, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
• Merge or delete and redirect to 2021 Myanmar protests WP:BLP1E, like all above. I want to admit that her death is quite notable, but there is a policeman who recently died in the protests - so, I don't believe her death is unique. MarioJump83! 00:22, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

I cannot find any Burmese or English sources corroborating the death of a police officer, aside from the military-owned Myawaddy News and Asia Times (which incorrectly notes the location of the other civilian casualty). Reports appear unconfirmed; Kyodo states "the military said..." while Reuters states "the army says..." Anyone else have more success? -Hintha(t) 04:14, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

I wanted to point out that NetBlocks has confirmed that that all Wikipedia servers have been blocked by Myanmar authorities (source), in case any Wikipedia users based in Myanmar would like to weigh in on this evolving matter. --Hintha(t) 03:44, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

• Wait For now-how about if she becomes a super famous martyr? If not, then merge in a few months.Antonio the 5th Non Blonde Martin (I say hey, what's going on?) 04:36, February 20, 2021 (UTC)

I think it should be the opposite, shouldn't it? Redirect for now and create an article if she does become famous. SSH remoteserver (talk) 05:16, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
