List of people assassinated by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This list was created in good faith following a Cfd but only duplicates content from List of assassinations of the Sri Lankan Civil War which provides a comprehensive list of assassinations during the civil war. Having a separate article for assassinations by the LTTE looks like a WP:POVFORK. This was the conclusion of a previous Afd.  obi2canibe talk contr 19:41, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Neutral. After the closure of the CFD discusison by another admin, I created this list to implement the CFD consensus that information in the category was better presented as a list. I have no expertise I the topic or particular interest in it, so I don't know whether the pre-existing list does the job better.  However, if this list is to be deleted, then:
 * editors should first check that all the topics in it are included in the other list.
 * It should be replaced with a redirect to List of assassinations of the Second JVP Insurrection

 * There are three articles currently not on List of assassinations of the Sri Lankan Civil War: Ivan Boteju, Gopalaswamy Mahendraraja and Lucky Wijayaratne.-- obi2canibe talk contr 19:53, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I will oppose deletion unless that is remedied. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:53, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I have now added all three to List of assassinations of the Sri Lankan Civil War.-- obi2canibe talk contr 13:02, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. As per WP:RELART & the decision of CFD discusison to delete the related category and listify. This list contains useful information about the Terrorism and LTTE. Since the category is already deleted, the presence of this article will be highly important and convenient for the readers who are interested in the subject. -- Shehanw (talk) 05:09, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
 * WP:RELART only applies where there significant amount of information in common with one another. This doesn't apply here because all the information in List of people assassinated by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam is contained in List of assassinations of the Sri Lankan Civil War. There is no original content in List of people assassinated by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. The Cfd decision to listify was made without the knowledge that there already existed a list with the information - List of assassinations of the Sri Lankan Civil War. I'm afraid your reasons for wanting this list were the same ones which resulted in the category being deleted.-- obi2canibe talk contr 13:02, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
 * In addition to the reasons I have given above, can't see any reason to delete this page per WP:GNG & WP:LISTN. LTTE killed many people who were not related to the civil war such as clergy, teachers and doctors. The assassination of the chief priest of Dimbulagala temple, Kithalagama Seelalankara Thera is a good example. Can't agree with your comment about the CFD decision and original content of this article, because you have not verified your claims. --Shehanw (talk) 04:45, 3 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete. Since the List of assassinations of the Sri Lankan Civil War currently contains the assassinations of Ivan Boteju, Gopalaswamy Mahendraraja and Lucky Wijayaratne, WP:RELART is not applicable here.Lapmaster (talk) 03:03, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The name of former mayor of Jaffna, Alfred Duraiappah, who was assassinated by LTTE a decade before the civil war, is also listed under the List of assassinations of the Sri Lankan Civil War ???, WP:RELART can be applied here to correct these errors in that list and make it a real list of assassinations of the Sri Lankan Civil War. -- 112.135.81.111 (talk) 16:40, 25 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Though he was murdered a decade before the fully fledged Civil War, his murder is mentioned in the Sri Lankan Civil War.Lapmaster (talk) 12:39, 2 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep - per WP:RELART. --BabbaQ (talk) 21:03, 1 March 2014 (UTC)


 * What is the rationale supports your WP:RELART?Lapmaster (talk) 12:39, 2 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep - per WP:RELART. The same rationale that supports WP:RELART with Wolf attacks can be applied in this case too. A similar situation exists with these two stand alone lists, List of wolf attacks and List of wolf attacks in North America -  LahiruG talk 05:00, 4 March 2014 (UTC)


 * You have chosen a wrong example for comparison which doesn't address the concern of WP:POVFORK.Lapmaster (talk) 15:07, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
