List of battles and other violent events by death toll[edit]

The article does not meet WP:N guidelines: the topic is vague and lacks meaning (battles "and other violent events"? what defines "other" here?). Most of the content on this list can easily be split into different articles; in fact, most of it already is anyway.

It seems that this article has become a hotbed for WP:FORUM discussion and constant edit-warring, especially relating to the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel. Much of the content here contradicts content on split articles: for example, the 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel are included as "terrorist attacks", but aren't on the main list. Differences like this are common.

I propose deleting the article and splitting any content that isn't already in a list into new articles. 296cherry (talk) 17:01, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Vaguely-defined criteria for inclusion, and therefore fails WP:NLIST since no source would discuss so many different types of mass killings, from more than 1 million victims down to 16, as if they have anything in common. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 02:31, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete essentially a badly organised list of lists which fails WP:NLIST. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:10, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Badly organized as said above, impossible to maintain with no coherent criteria. ChaotıċEnby(talk) 02:25, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Should at the very least be split into separate articles, such as List of Terrorist Attacks by Death Toll, or List of mass Sacrifices by Death Toll.
