Talk:Bombing of the Vatican

Untitled
There's never going to be enough information here to fill out the article beyond a stub, and it's impossible to know whether this was actually intended as a separate bombing or whether this was an accidental consequence of the Bombing of Rome in World War II. This should be merged to that article. I know it's a sovereign state, but we should still use common sense here. Savidan 14:49, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

I agree that common sense should be used, but if we delete this article (excuse me, 'merge' is the PC term these days) it'll just further contribute to the over-simplification of wikipedia. Many people on here have a 'brevity over information' attitude that would only be worsened if we 'merge' this —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.223.62.45 (talk) 11:16, 27 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I mean merge in a rather literal, not PC, sense. This content should be moved, and the article history should be maintained, not deleted. If there is ever enough cited information about this topic to make that article too long (nowhere near in my estimation), a new article should be written. But it is my suspicion that there is not enough information for over-simplification to be a concern. Savidan 15:51, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

There is not enough sourced content here for a separate article. This article consists of a few facts borrowed from the bombing of rome article plus a handful of unreliable blog posts. See WP:CITE; WP:RS. Splitting these topics will inevitably create repetition and needlessly confuse the reader. There is so little sourced information about the bombing of rome at all that it just doesn't make sense to parcel it up. Any more than separating the bombing of 5th street from the bombing of 6th street. If you expand that article substantially with reliable and cited content, perhaps there will be a more compelling reason for a separate article. Savidan 04:14, 7 February 2011 (UTC)


 * 1: I've improved the page greatly (see my post below)
 * 2: Re the 5th street vs 6th street issue. If 6th street happens to be a separate country, then yes, they should be separated.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.221.201.125 (talk) 21:55, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Stub
Sorry, random question here, when does a stub stop being a stub? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.223.62.45 (talk) 20:16, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Recent work

Infoboxes
It seems rather odd that the Vatican is included amongst the 'belligerents' when it was neutral and did nothing except be the target. This is not in accord with the normal meaning of the word belligerent. Sbishop (talk) 12:35, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree, but would go further. The infoboxes are not only misleading; they contribute nothing to the article. They should be removed. Kablammo (talk) 12:43, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I have now removed them. The two infoboxes, used for military conflicts, were added on 1 October 2021.  This was not a conflict; there were no belligerents here; the Vatican's neutrality was recognized by all. Kablammo (talk) 13:10, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
