Following Wikipedia:Naming conventions (events) on NPOV, we need sourcing supporting the claim that the descriptor "massacre" is at minimum generally accepted, in English, describing this particular event. It is not to be drawn from our own conclusions about the degree of similarity or dissimilarity with other events, the nature of the victims, or whatever else. Otherwise "attack" is proper. Adumbrativus (talk) 07:22, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: The only English language source currently cited on this page currently calls it an "attack" in its title, while the non-English sources are not relevant with respect to en.wiki naming policy. A basic adherence to the sources, per WP:NPOV, WP:OR etc., must be maintained until such time as other sourcing is presented. Iskandar323 (talk) 07:48, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The ToI source said “attack” by “Hamas terrorists.” Is a terrorist attack which kills 15 innocent civilians one-by-one in cold blood not considered a massacre? Closetside (talk) 03:22, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
With all due respect to the Wikipedia rules, this event is a part of a series of events that were all considered massacres by reliable sources. The fact that no source mentions it as a massacre is pure coincidence in my opinion, and an exception should be made here. Ronsiv8 (talk) 09:07, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If there is insufficient material to stand the article up then it should obviously just be merged elsewhere, either into one of the other pages, or into an overarching page. Iskandar323 (talk) 09:11, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The Jerusalem Post says “Here [Netiv HaAsara]], they [Hamas militants] murdered at least 15 people...”[1]. The headline says the border communities faced massacre and eviction. There is your additional English source. The Hebrew YNet source uses ״טבחו״, which means “they slaughtered” or “they massacred.” Non-English sources are considered reliable too. In addition, killing 15 innocent civilians in cold blood obviously fits the definition of a massacre. Closetside (talk) 03:18, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's still not an English source using Netiv HaAsara + 'massacre', and, assuming that efforts to find such sources have now been made and come up with nothing, it suggests a paucity. Iskandar323 (talk) 06:42, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That confirms the ToI supports the "massacre" language. Massacre in one article, terrorist attack in another. It is clear the mass killings in Netiv HaAsara should be called a massacre. Closetside (talk) 16:58, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. As with the other articles on the other massacres carried out that day, the coverage in reliable sources is overwhelming that these attacks were indeed massacres aimed at civilians. Coretheapple (talk) 17:18, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This article was created under the name "Netiv HaAsara massacre". Then it was renamed to improper name without any discussion. And now we have to spend time to rename it back. Here are some additional sources which call it massacre: 1, 2, 3, 4 and etc. With regards, Oleg Y. (talk) 01:19, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the article it says that 15 "settlers" were killed. This is wrong. The village is located on israeli territory. The wording is wrong and insulting. Vdnvosv (talk) 10:26, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There has been an AfD on this and the similar Nir Yitzhak and Holit articles, and all three were closed last week as keep. Only non-notable articles should be deleted or merged. The AfD’s have shown these three as notable. As part of my analyses for the AfDs I am now updating these articles, which did not utilize resources to the fullest or include diverse resources. I’ve completed the Nir Yitzhak update, am now working on Holit, and will do this one after that. For more info see:
