Talk:2024 Faisal Halim acid attack

Wikipedia is not a news website
@KjjjKjjj: In case you have not read the guideline; Wikipedia is not a news website. Why is having a separate article about this crime needed for an encyclopedia? Wikipedia already has a biographical article about Faisal Halim, where this attack is already given some coverage. It also has an article about the 2024 Piala Sumbangsih where the attack is also mentioned. So why is a third article needed? - Cameron Dewe (talk) 19:38, 15 July 2024 (UTC)


 * I think this article is sufficiently notable per WP:NCRIME as there is many reliable sources I cited. KjjjKjjj (talk) 02:36, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @KjjjKjjj: That may be so, but all the reports appear to be routine news reports all published within a short period of time. To be separately notable as an event there needs to be ongoing coverage over a longer period of time than the normal news cycle. Additionally, WP:CRIME advises against creating a separate article just for the crime if there is an existing article that can incorporate the content. In this case there are already two existing articles that include this same content, so having this third article, too, is redundant. See WP:REDUNDANTFORK. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 14:01, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Faisal Halim is a Malaysian football player, I don't see how this article and Faisal Halim article is able to merge due to both being different topics. The article is also sufficiently enough for WP:PERSISTENCE. (1 2) Also and correct me if I'm wrong, what does WP:REDUNDANTFORK have to do with this?
