The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
2024 Bangladesh anti-Hindu violence should be merged with this article since both these pages are largely about the same violence that occurred after Sheikh Hasina's departure. The length of the two articles are also not too big (28kb and 29kb, which also include overlaps) to warrant separate articles. Nomian (talk) 05:24, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: This article is written as a list article, the other one is detailed encyclopedic styled article focused upon the attack on minorites. Xoocit (talk) 15:52, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Quality of the articles has nothing to do with the discussion here, we are talking about the scopes of these articles which largely overlap and can be accommodated in a single article. Nomian (talk) 03:13, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: This article is a list and little more than a coat rack of instances of violence that have occurred after a moment in time. Basically this is a collection of news articles without any analysis to connect them together via common themes. As Wikipedia is not a news website, the notability of even having this article is questionable. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 20:23, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support: It discusses both the violence against Awami League supporters and the Hindus, no reason to have two different articles with so many overlaps. Moreover, the other article is simply a POV-fork since it is not clear whether the violence against Hindus was communal or politically motivated as most of the Hindu victims were affiliated with Awami League. With regards to quality, the article can always be improved. Za-ari-masen (talk) 22:13, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Both aren't same, this violence was politically motivated and carried out by the opposition parties and protesters, on the other hand, anti-Hindu violence is still debated either it is politically motivated or religiously and it's still unclear who attacked on the Hindus, even some reports and primary investigations pointing this to Awami League. Separate articles on anti-Hindu violences in Bangladesh are available, so propose keeping this. Wiki N Islam (talk) 09:11, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I agree with others that they are not the same. From what I have read from neutral sources, the violence against Hindus was both politically and religiously motivated. Therefore, I vote to keep it. Wrzedn (talk) 05:19, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: I opposed because the violence that happened after the resignation was not on the Hindus minorities, but the violence spread in many parts of Bangladesh. ApurboWiki2024 (talk) 07:35, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: This article has a narrow scope, that is violence against Hindus during 2024 Bangladesh Anti quota protests. The citations given are notable and reliable like here 1, 2, 3. My strong opinion is to keep it as it covers the violence in depth (enhancing encyclopedic content) towards the Hindu community. SpunkyGeek (talk) 04:00, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Merging the pages on Sheikh Hasina's resignation and the 2024 anti-Hindu violence in Bangladesh is not appropriate. These events are distinct and require separate coverage. The anti-Hindu violence is a significant issue that needs to be fully highlighted and addressed on its own. If these topics are combined, there is a serious risk that the brutality of the violence against the Hindu community will be overshadowed and potentially ignored by readers. Keeping these pages separate ensures that the gravity of each event is properly documented and that the anti-Hindu violence is not marginalized. JESUS (talk) 07:04, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support There is no reason for two separate articles.2024 Violence after the fall of Sheikh Hasina, this article contains the events that happened here. I don't think there should be 2 articles on the same incident Md Joni Hossain (talk) 18:59, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Merging seems like overkill, the subject of these two articles are different, it would also marginalize the recent violence faced by the Hindu community in Bangladesh ThatBritishAsianDude (talk) 19:09, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: This article should remain, just as there are others that cover violence against Hindus in Bangladesh. I see no urgency in merging this article. However, I agree that it will need to be reviewed for reliable sources in the future. If, at that stage, it appears that the content can be incorporated into the proposed article, then a merger discussion can be revisited.
