Al-Shifa Hospital siege

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Massive WP:CONTENTFORK from Siege of Gaza City. Article was previously merged into the siege of Gaza City article, with nearly the whole article (all 242 words) merged into the article. This merge was rapidly challenged by a user saying it is independently notable. My argument for merging was CONTENTFORK as well as how the siege of Azovstal steel plant during last year's Siege of Mariupol doesn't have a split article, why should a small siege amid the larger parent (consensus confirmed) notable topic of the Siege of Gaza City. Again, a CONTENTFORK of 242 words is what this siege article is. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 21:08, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment I'd be inclined to 'Keep' the article but rename it. There doesn't seem a lot at the moment to warrant describing it as a siege within a siege, but the hospital is clearly a key focus of the IDF during this war. The Siege of Gaza City article seems to be in the form of a timeline, with spin-off articles about key events, of which Al-Shifa Hospital is becoming a major part.

 * keep To clarify, the blockade on Al-Shifa Hospital is distinct from the one imposed on the Gaza Strip. The Gaza Strip blockade entails restricting the entry of food, beverages, diesel, and petroleum derivatives throughout the military operation, while the blockade on Al-Shifa Hospital occurred after ground forces entered. It's essential to highlight that the siege on Al-Shifa Hospital commenced specifically on November 10, making it a singular and distinct event from the Gaza Strip blockade.--— Osama Eid  ( talk ) 22:16, 13 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep as there isn't an issue with having a military operation within a military operation as an article, the hospital is very notable, and the content is well sourced and independently notable. LegalSmeagolian (talk) 23:22, 13 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Withdrawn AfD - Initial AfD reasoning resolved as it is no longer a direct copy/paste WP:CONTENTFORK. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 23:43, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
