Concern "Murder" is a very specific crime. Is killed, executed or assassinated more accurate? Hipocrite (talk) 15:33, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

@Hipocrite: Since he was killed during the Armenian Genocide and since genocides are considered "mass murders", I assumed it would be safe to say he was murdered. Besides, the infobox for the Armenian Genocide article says that the "Attack type" is mass murder. Hence, I think using the term murder would be more aligned with the Armenian Genocide article and the consensus reached over its terminology. Assassination can work too. But I believe assassination is limited to a political motive. This may not accurately describe his murder since he wasn't a politician or anything of that sort; he was merely a writer and pharmacist who just happened to be born Armenian. Nevertheless, I do believe there was a political motive behind the Armenian Genocide but some academics argue it may not have been the only motive. At any rate, either term is fine with me.

I'm fine with either, just raising the concern. Appreciate you addressing it. Hipocrite (talk) 17:06, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Okay, thank you Hipocrite. Étienne Dolet (talk) 17:08, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Long enough, new enough, QPQ done, no copyvios found; assuming good faith on the offline sources, we're good to go. Hipocrite has allayed my hook concerns.--Laun chba ller 09:36, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
