Talk:Terrorist attacks by death toll

List of terrorist attacks by death toll
As there have been already some discussions about wheither the list of terrorist attacks should be reduced to a minimal number of deaths or only significant terrorist attacks. This list includes all terrorist attacks. Also the smaller onces with less media attention or historical significance. So this article is purely ment as a collection of as many terrorist attacks as possible for the use of encyclopedic research. JBergsma1 (talk) 15:52, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * This article is unworkable if it tries to include every terrorist attack, or even every terrorist attack resulting in a fatality. We have multiple articles listing terrorist attacks on a month by month basis. To fit all those here will not work. I think we have to constrain this list to make it practical and so as to merely replicate material elsewhere. Bondegezou (talk) 20:45, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * As one huge table, the list is very difficult to edit. Can it at least be split up somehow? Bondegezou (talk) 21:09, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Maby we can split the article up in 3 parts: Attacks with less than 50 fatalities. Attacks between 50 and 150 fatalities and attacks with 150+ fatalities. Just an idea. JBergsma1 (talk) 21:59, 23 January 2017 (UTC) JBergsma1 (talk) 21:59, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Abu Nidal
I've not been through systematically yet, but there's at least one attack by the Abu Nidal Organisation listed as Islamic extremism. This is wrong. nothing on the ANO's wiki article points to extremist Islamism. Bondegezou (talk) 21:09, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Ditto Gulf Air Flight 771. Bondegezou (talk) 21:14, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

And other errors
UTA Flight 772 is also erroneously listed as Islamic extremism when the convicted were state agents acting for nationalistic reasons. Bondegezou (talk) 21:12, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * 1985 Beirut car bombing was listed as Islamic terrorism when it was a rogue CIA operation! I've fixed that, but there are significant problems with the article content as it stands. Bondegezou (talk) 11:10, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
 * And 1993 Bombay bombings also listed as Islamic extremism when it was a mafia group! Bondegezou (talk) 11:17, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Citations needed
As whith all articles, WP:MINREF material needs inline citations. Since terrorism-related articles tend to be controversial, essentially every piece of information in this article needs to be accompanied by a citation. The citations should, in addition to other details, explicitly support the assertions that this many people died, and that it has been classified as a terrorist attack. I'll start removing content soon if no such citations will be added. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 23:43, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

This list is basically the same list as in the list of battles and other violent incidents. I made a specific article on the list of terrorist attacjs because the list was too long. So everything from that list was put in here. Because this list is so long. Citation is rather difficult to find for all attacks and the article on every attack in this list should on itself contain the sources supporting it. JBergsma1 (talk) 01:49, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * It's irrelevant whether the target articles contain the citations or not. Each article must be able to stand alone in terms of references. To hear that they are "difficult to find" only raises questions about the verifiability of the content of this article and is not excuse for not providing them. References are asked here, and this means that they must be provided here (WP:BURDEN). – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 01:59, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

Drastic action
Given the lack of citations discussed above, and the numerous significant errors described above, I am taking the drastic action of boldly re-directing the whole article to List of terrorist incidents. Bondegezou (talk) 11:19, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
