Talk:List of massacres in Japan

Added the Osaka Movie Theater fire
Oddly enough there wasn't a reference to an arson attack at an Osaka Movie Theater that left 15 dead. Figured i'd add it.Graylandertagger (talk) 22:15, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

 * No, I edited that part out --Oniichansugoi (talk) 11:30, 16 April 2020 (UTC)


 * They totally could be, other war crimes are mixed in here, making this list a useless mess.111.106.166.232 (talk) 08:28, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Editor dissent over title of article and qualification of content
In addition to the above (stating "useless mess"), has been deleting existing content without leaving an edit summary. After restoration, Fulmard has again deleted the content, claiming in the edit summaries that "these three events are murders but not massacres. Not enough victims to be a massacre". Setagaya, Kawasaki, Sakamoto.

Possibly the article should be renamed? List of atrocities in Japan? Fulmard, please state your authority and background experience for subjectively deciding these should be deleted.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 02:11, 28 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Murders of a small number of people, of a single family, do not fit any definition of massacre. They mostly do not even meet the criteria for mass murder. The murder of one family is a familicide, not a massacre. This article would grow very large if it were to list every familicide.Fulmard (talk) 21:10, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
 * As I stated, this article could be re-named to incorporate those aspects that you find unacceptable. Thank you for explaining what appears to be your personal motivation. If you have knowledge of other examples that would fit different classifications, a new article could be created.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 00:57, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
