Siad Barre's collective punishments

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article appears to be a POV fork of Isaaq genocide. A large portion of the content has been copied (without the necessary attribution) from that article, omitting the characterisation of the actions as genocide. The article creation came after the user first tried to rename the genocide article, then started an RfC on its title, then withdrew the RfC, and then commented at Articles for deletion/Ideological bias on Wikipedia that "I was just editing the Isaaq genocide article, and the title is completely made up. The date of the event is completely made up too. I don't think these were an innocent mistakes. Rather, this was ideologically motivated as a form of pro-Somaliland secessionism/nationalism. This is clear wp:synthesis. I'm planning to move the bulk of the content to "Hargeisa massacre" later, since that title can be attested". Creating this article therefore appears to be an attempt to rename the genocide article by the backdoor. I suggest that the new article is deleted and if Thylacoop5 wants to rename Isaaq genocide, they follow the instructions at Requested moves to start the appropriate discussion.

 * Delete - Creating the article smacks of ownership.-- Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 00:20, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment, I didn't see the Somali rebellion article; I subsequently meant to move it there. So as the creator of this article, I condone its deletion. Thylacoop5 (talk) 06:58, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
