Murat Aga and Sandalla casualty list
Although the event may be notable, I don't see how the list of names is. Wikipedia is not a memorial. --Xcali 21:37, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a memorial... Though, if kept, should be a subpage of Civilian casualties and displacements during the Cyprus conflict rather than an article itself. --Chiacomo (talk) 21:40, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: based on user's other edits, I've got to disgree with you about being a subpage. It's POV.  It's a one-sided list.  The opposing side gets no mention in any of these articles. --Xcali 21:47, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment on Comment: I can see your point and might agree, though it's very possible the "other side" will submit a list of casualties as well. I really don't see the point in listing the names of everyone killed in every battle or massacre or air disaster or bus crash or hotel fire etc... --Chiacomo (talk) 21:54, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete regretfully the numbers killed in tragedies and wars are notable - but the individuals are not in themselves. WP:NOT a memorial --Doc --Doc (?) 22:41, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Maybe there should be another MediaWiki project? A bit like WikiSource, but rather "WikiDeath", where everyone who died (ever), and what the cause of death was, is listed.     22:47, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Wikimorial and Wikipeople have been proposed, but discussions have stalled and nothing exists except for discussions on Meta. Wikitree has not only been proposed as subsuming both, but is in fact up and running right now.  Whilst it is not a WikiMedia project, and not GFDL, it is a MediaWiki project. Categorizing people by the major event that they died in is an idea that should be suggested at the Treehouse. Uncle G 23:22, 2005 Jun 7 (UTC)
 * Delete wikipedia is not a memorial, as sad as it is these individuals arent notable. JamesBurns 06:00, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as being outside the boundaries of Wikipedia's editorial policy. Please see What Wikipedia is not, which lists memorials as a non-encyclopedic item. -- ChrisO 07:03, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
