2021 Foutouri attack

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A sentence or two on Insurgency in the Maghreb (2002–present) would suffice, like every other event on the timeline. Although absolutely dreadful, we cannot create a page for every attack that occurs as part of the insurgency. SɱαɾƚყPαɳƚʂ22 (Ⓣⓐⓛⓚ) 13:09, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Keep: In fact we don't create a page for every single attack which is part of an insurgency. However this is the deadliest attack in Burkina Faso since the 2016 Ouagadougou attacks, so is a notable event. Gianluigi02 (talk) 13:12, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. Possibly rename to 2021 Kodyel attack (this is the specific village in the district). Large scale attack with many civilian casualties, and unlike most other event in the insurgency this is covered by international news in an extensive fashion.-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 13:22, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge to Kodyel massacre - this is notable enough for an article. No-one's saying that every insurgent attack should have an article, but this one has a death toll of about 30. Without realising this article exists, I created Kodyel massacre minutes later, which I believe is a better title. Jim Michael (talk) 14:35, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * It should be a reverse merge to here (assuming it survives CSD A10 on it), and then a move to there. But in any case this is the same event.-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 14:45, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * It's the same event, but performing the merge quickly will prevent the article I created from being deleted. It has some info that's not in here, so merging before either is deleted will give the article a much better chance of surviving long-term. Jim Michael (talk) 14:51, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Definitely a reverse merge; yours should be merged into the target.

Keep: As much that I agree with you that not every attack should have an article, this one is significant considering that this is the deadliest attack in Burkina Faso because od the insurgency since the 2016 Ouagadougou ones. • • rslashthinkong (User page) (User talk page) 17:35, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
