Syria civil war

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The page is an unnecessary fork of 2011–2012 Syrian uprising containing mostly redundant information. It is also unclear whether the title is verifiably supported by reliable sources or may be a case of original research. The creator and primary editor of the page did not seek consensus for the fork on Talk:2011–2012 Syrian uprising before creating it. As this article is largely redundant and any attempt to separate fighting in Syria from protests in Syria or security actions in Syria cannot be definitively supported by the body of sources at this time, I believe the article must be deleted and any information not found on the page from which the fork derives should be merged.

Totally Oppose and absolute Keep First: we need this page because there is an absolute lack of central page about military operations in Syria. Second, this is different from the Uprising page, who don't cover the events covered by this page. Third: we have a military infobox, we need a military page. Fourth: The main objection to the move of the Uprising page to Civil War was that the protests were part of the uprising and the armed events of the civil war. Fifth : All is sources and used in sub articles. If the user Kuzdu1, known for his pro syrian opposition roots wants, he can open a move or merge discussion, but delete is compltely out of reality --ChronicalUsual (talk) 15:54, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Don't really care to get into any personal mudslinging, but my personal feelings about this issue aren't material here. You've been dinged for WP:POV editing on the Syria topic far more than I have, so please don't go there. I've got nothing personal against you, just don't see how this page is necessary when the uprising page covers violence and clashes even in its introductory section. -Kudzu1 (talk) 15:59, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose the conflict is rapidly descending into a full out war. The uprising != civil war, and each article would reflect that. I think a fork is in order. Yazan (talk) 16:06, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The proposed page seems fine to me. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia without paper limits. This phase deserves its own page in notability.
