Merger proposal

Formal request has been received to merge the article 2001 Angola train attack into Angolan Civil War; dated: August 2017. Proposer's Rationale: the attack was part of the events relating to the war and the article is not very long. Discuss here. Richard3120 (talk) 14:39, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, a specific incident does not need to be merged in the general article for the war. As more information becomes available, the article can be expanded. Ditto with Attack on Altena Farm and Rhodesian Bush War, for example. --Katangais (talk) 19:26, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, same reasoning Hollomis (talk) 12:35, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
