Doesn't appear to be notable independently of the ISIS execution, and should probably redirect to 2015 kidnapping and execution of Copts in Libya#Aftermath. I redirected it to this page myself but that was undone by an IP. Everymorning talk 16:42, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion

[edit]

The airstrikes are clearly notable enough to warrant a separate article, even if they didn't last too long. They made headlines everywhere around the world and seem to meet the WP:GNG criteria. How about moving the military intervention article's title to February 2015 Egyptian airstrikes in Libya, and when Egypt's involvement in the conflict takes a lengthier turn, we might as well create something like Egyptian military intervention in Libya (2014–present) to summarize all the relevant incidents, from last year's UAE-coordinated airstrikes and beyond.

There is a move discussion here if anyone's interested. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 20:24, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unless the airstrikes end this month, I highly discourage any changes in the article title. There's nothing to suggest that ISIL's Libyan presence will be eradicated by the end of this month, and it is quite likely that unless the said outcome happens, Egypt will continue intervening in Libya for at least several more months. But the Egyptian intervention is highly notable, and since the 2 topics are not directly related, both articles should remain the way they are, in my opinion.

There were no Egyptian airstrikes this day or yesterday as far as I can think of. If anything it should at least be renamed to something like 2015 Egyptian airstrikes in Libya, in case the raids live up to next month. But this "intervention" began last year, while the current title makes it seem as if Egypt's involvement in the conflict started in 2015, which isn't true.
it is quite likely that unless the said outcome happens, Egypt will continue intervening in Libya for at least several more months - This may be true, but kind of WP:CRYSTAL-ish as well, and this also takes me back to my last point, which is that the intervention isn't limited to 2015 only, whereas the article in question deals with the airstrikes of February 16.

Canonized Saints

[edit]

The 21 victims were declared martyr saints by the Coptic Church yesterday (21 Feb). I have added this to the article. -Ad Orientem (talk) 04:11, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Return of the Remains

[edit]

This section is very, very wordy. It reads pretty dense. I'm inclined to begin editing and cleaning it up. Before I do so, I'll await to see if any editors, who have been more involved with this article, are willing to step in.Kerdooskis (talk) 22:00, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Should be linked to the equivalent page in french "Martyrs coptes de Libye"

[edit]

These two articles recount the same events, and thus should be linked to one another. Ertyloide (talk) 19:24, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
