Hajji Tower airstrike

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

Tragic but non-notable event. It is one of the countless airstrikes of the 2023 Hamas-Israel war. There is no significant or sustained coverage of the airstrike, no lasting effect (with all due respect to the casualties), nothing that differentiates it from any of the other airstrikes, and it seems as if only this Wikipedia article is covering the airstrike under the title "Hajji Tower airstrike".

 * Keep: Hello everyone, the article talks about the air strike on Hajji Tower, which led to the killing of 3 prominent journalists in the Gaza Strip, noting that the killing of 3 prominent journalists at once in itself meets the standards and is notable. Regarding the phrase (countless in war), please note that this is the first air strike during the war that targeted the first residential tower in the Gaza Strip. The article meets all the standards of noteworthiness in terms of the importance of the event and in terms of the results of the event.--— Osama Eid  ( talk ) 18:04, 19 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete Merge to Killing of journalists in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war. I'm not sure which standards Osama Eid is talking about, that killing 3 journalists guarantees notability - in the "should have its own Wikipedia article" sense. I agree with the nominator that it has no lasting effects (again, with all due respect to the casualties), I would argue that events like this are common during the war, thus it shouldn't have its own Wikipedia article but rather a section in 2023 Israel–Hamas war Killing of journalists in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war - yeah, this article is perfect for containing such events.

Merge to Killing of journalists in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war. Apart from the deaths of the journalists, this was not a notable event. Material will fit well into merge target, there is not enough material to support a stand alone article.  // Timothy :: talk  07:03, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge to Killing of journalists in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war. Not worth its own article. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  21:32, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Killing of journalists in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war per above, yet the correct amount of text and sourcing is already there. gidonb (talk) 00:17, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge as discussed is ok, somewhat notable but just not enough coverage for a full article. Oaktree b (talk) 16:05, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
