Similar article "Stabbing as a terrorist tactic"
[edit]It may be reasonable to either merge this article with "Stabbing as a terrorist tactic", or vice versa, or to copy or move parts between them. See Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia for details. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:44, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
- Note that page Stabbing as a terrorist tactic is a coherent article about a well-defined subject within Category:Terrorism tactics. While it includes amass stabbings, many terrorist stabbings are of only a single individual, cf. Murder of Lee Rigby, Stabbing of Stephen Timms. I oppose merging it to this mess of a ESSAY.

Notability
[edit]The question becomes what to do with this WP:NOTESSAY. I suggest WP:TNT. Not because I want to deny the reality of mass stabbings; they happen: Category:Mass stabbings, but because the page is a mess of high school level "research", bad logic, and POV editing, followed by sections on three mass stabbing events. I would support a straightforward, properly written article on the model of Mass shooting. But unless someone wants to give this page a thorough rewrite, I'm in favor of WP:TNT.

- removed my NOTABILITY template after drastically reducing page to deal with WP:NOTESSAY issues. It's now a pretty-poor quality page, but, I hope, editors will expand and improve. Because "mass stabbings" is a notable topic. E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:34, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
Mass editing
[edit]I BOLDly cut this sprawling violateion of WP:NOTESSAY down, mostly by removing material that was not about mass stabbings. I also removed long subheads on 3 incidents of mass stabbings, each has a page. Category:Mass stabbings has a sadly large number of pages. Feel free to add them to the page as a list.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:26, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
Orphaned references in Mass stabbing
[edit]I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Mass stabbing's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Isla Vista as an example?
[edit]The 2014 Isla Vista attacks do not qualify as a mass stabbing incident. I see numerous sources connecting Isla Vista to this page which makes me hesitant to remove it but we should all come to the general census that a mass stabbing has to involve at least four stabbing victims, while Isla Vista had only three and a majority of the victims of that attack were either shot (10 GSW victims) or ran over with a vehicle (7 vehicle-ramming victims).
Also, as a side note, there's far too many examples of mass stabbings on this page. I think we only need 3, but 5 is also a good number too. It just seems very unprofessional to include so many examples, especially one that doesn't even meet most definitions of what a mass stabbing is. MountainJew6150 (talk) 14:07, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
