Kosovo–Serbia January 2017 train incident

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

An incident with no long-term impact. Available coverage is along the lines of "Kosovo, Serbia Exchange Heated Words" and " Serbia and Kosovo were brought to 'the brink of conflict', according to Serbian president". Since the conflict did not occur, I don't see encyclopedic relevance here. This appears to have been a minor provocation of no lasting significance. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:03, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Update -- per discussion below, I'm now proposing a redirect to Kosovo–Serbia_relations#2013.E2.80.93present where the appropriate content has been merged to. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:37, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Yes, nothing actually happened, but I think this was more than a minor incident. I just think this is notable enough to put on Wikipedia. Ethanbas ^(talk) 06:02, 3 May 2017 (UTC) OK, merge it is. Ethanbas ^(talk) 05:00, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm thinking merge somewhere, possibly a section on Kosovo–Serbia relations. This was one incident among many, followed by brouhaha in Serbian and Kosovo press, and some in international, but probably not of lasting significance for a standalone article, though it deserves a mention. And the article is currently a substub worth WP:TNT – if no one cared enough to write an article with more content than one useful sentence when it was ongoing, I don't predict anyone will later.

Merge. Yes, an incident happened, but nothing more came of it; end of story. However, while the incident might not merit a standalone article, the information should be included in an appropriate article, as suggested above. Drdpw (talk) 01:04, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- I've merged the suitable content to Kosovo–Serbia_relations#2013.E2.80.93present; pls see diff. I'm thus proposing a redirect to the section mentioned. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:37, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure that was the best target page, given recent sources, such a NYTimes article (Not an opinion piece, a reported article) Kosovo Feels Russia’s Heavy Hand, via Serbia, putting hit in a gorup with other Russion pressure on Kosovo [1].E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:16, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
