Numbers of victims

In our introductory sentence we say 15 were dead. But in the infobox we say 70. This needs to be clarified. No explanation provided about the source behind 70 dead although 15 dead is duly sourced. werldwayd (talk) 16:49, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I was confused when I first saw the article as well. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:05, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

When this story is no longer current as "news" and has fallen greatly from favor of popular media, will it be moved into the main article "Garissa University College" ? I have seen in some Wikipedia main entries that such sensational stories appear to be separately written or rewritten before they appear stories in the main entry.

Islamic terrorism

Also judging by his edits, he seems hell bent on criticizing Islamic politics (as he did in the Iran-"led" Southern Syrian Offensive page.120.62.24.165 (talk) 05:40, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't just listen to yourself and presume you've gained consensus. That is not how Wikipedia works.120.62.24.165 (talk) 05:58, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
