Too verbose to be a list article

[edit]

@МетроГол: I am confused! Normally, only a stand-alone lists will have a title that starts "List of ...."; To me, it seems this article has the makings of a full-blown article, not a list. It needs to be a lot less verbose and far more concise. All the information introducing a list should appear in the lead section. So are all the extra sections of prose before the list really necessary? This list is really a sub-page of Cow vigilante violence in India, so most of the prose should be left in the section of that article about Incidents, with a summary of that section being used as an introduction to this list.

By the way, if you have copied or split out the text from that article's Incident section then you need to abide by the policy about copying within Wikipedia, which is a legal requirement, not just a guideline. Failing to acknowledge copyright appropriately are grounds to declare this a copyright violation. Please provide attribution and say where you copied this text from. Either, initially in the edit summary, or now as a copied from template banner on the talk page. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 08:47, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Made some changes to at least make it look like a list. Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 11:08, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To merge Mob lynchings after 2014 in India into List of incidents of cow vigilante violence in India given the overlap, with neither article being too long. Klbrain (talk) 18:13, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article is subsection of this article and does not add any more content to Wiki than isn't already covered in this article. Xoocit (talk) 14:41, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Xoocit, Thank you for your proposal! But it is undeniable that incidents of violence related to cow protection have occurred in India for centuries. However, media reports suggest that these incidents have seen a significant rise since 2014, largely due to the influence of a particular ideology. For this reason, I believe a separate article focusing on developments post-2024 is necessary. Thank you. Jannatulbaqi (talk) 15:57, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever happens here the title of the 2014 article should specify in India because clicking on it I thought it would cover the world, not just India. PARAKANYAA (talk) 23:19, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I oppose a split looking at this. These are distinct topics. Not all mob lynchings are cow related, the set seems to be distinct. I'm not even sure if the other article is notable. PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:55, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That article is a subset of this article, there are no incidents aside from cow vigilante articles, the articles are the same with different names. The other article doesn't seem to be required. Xoocit (talk) 12:19, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Xoocit Hm, fair enough. I was looking at the discussion the other way around, I thought we were merging this article into that. This way is ok. PARAKANYAA (talk) 05:54, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
