Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Terrorist attacks carried out by LTTE


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result was: there are numerous keep 'votes' here that are from very new accounts and/or are not grounded in Wikipedia policy, but there are also enough coherent arguments for keep that the slight majority for deletion is too small to justify outright deletion. Hence, no consensus. --Sam Blanning(talk) 15:51, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Terrorist attacks carried out by LTTE
Per Wikipedia policy, one cannot create a new article about a certain subject that is already treated in an article - Ref: Neutral_point_of_view. The article Notable Attacks by the LTTE already covers these incidents.--Realstarslayer 17:10, 26 July 2006 (UTC)


 * These are 2 separate subjects treated here and these pages have different content and topics. Expansion of these articles will be in two different areas, terrorist acts and notable attacks(all significant attacks including non-terrorist acts)Ruchiraw 10:10, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * There are over 100 attacks listed here, not mentioned anywhere else on wikipedia including Notable attacks by the LTTERuchiraw 00:28, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The UNHCR website referenced for many of the supposed attacks is simply a link to a litany of accusation made by the the SL government to the UN. If someone was trying to legitimize the source by saying its from UNHCR .. thats a joke.  The additions user Ruchiraw has made are clearly NPOV.  Repeatedly, "LTTE Terrorists" is used.  In many of these circumstance it has never been proven that the LTTE had comitted these incidents.


 * Disprove these accusations. Terrorists are those kill unarmed civilians. Ruchiraw 05:08, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Just to add this even though the point of the deletion is not for factual reasons; I read that UNHCR page and it seems the poster above is correct, Ruchiraw what you claim to be UNHCR statments on these attacks are taken from a letter sent to the UNHCR by the Permanent Representative of Sri Lanka to the Centre for Human Rights, i.e. these are just the claims of one party to the conflict, the GoSL, and not any sort of endorsment by the UNHCR that these claims are factual nor can they be considered to be NPOV.


 * With a view to giving a broader perspective of LTTE involvement in persistent and gross violations of the human rights of the different religious and ethnic groups in Sri Lanka, the Government is pleased to annex hereto a copy of letter No. UN/HRTS/1/23 Vol. XVI of 9 August 1994, sent by the Permanent Representative of Sri Lanka to the Centre for Human Rights in pursuance of Commission resolution 1994/46 and General Assembly resolution 48/122." 


 * Here 'the Government' refers to the GoSL. Furthermore having read that page it now also brings up questions about copyright, since all your points are basicly copied from that table of attacks presented in the GoSL letter.--Realstarslayer 04:38, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Realstarslayer, this article is for public dissemination. Show me what you claim is copyright violations and whose copyright I am violating.Please read public domain particularly | works ineligible for copyright protection. These are information in the public domain.


 * Are you saying the UN put a list of lies on its web site. This is a letter from a legal democratic government to the UN. Do you have proof these are lies. Please let the UN know and they may take it off their website. Ruchiraw 04:53, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't want to get into the details of the items listed here, we can discuss the facts on the 'notable attacks' page if this is settled. The point of this delete request is that this article is redundant, as for copyright you are probably correct if that is public domain then so be it, that was not my main point for requesting a delete anyway. As for the items themselves, as a party to the conflict, we cannot accept the GoSL’s statements as fact any more nor any less than we can accept statements from the LTTE without proof from non-interested third parties. Thus you are being quite disingenuous by trying to pass off the list of attacks as something endorsed and accepted by the UNHCR, when it was just a letter sent to them by the GoSL. So no one is accusing the UNHCR of posting lies, since it is clearly stated that they are only posting a copy of a letter sent to them, this should not be passed off as something that it is not.--Realstarslayer 05:04, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * You must have some evidence proving that these terrorist attacks did not happen. If it is not the responsibility of Sri Lanka to document terrorism in Sri Lanka, whose responsibility is it. They happened , you just dont want to admit it. Search BBC or Reuters and you will see these reported in the news. Ruchiraw 05:14, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Ruchiraw, no one is claiming these did not happen, I am pretty sure most of these incidents did occur, however the question is who commited them and we cannot rely on the opinion of the opposing side of the conflict as being a neutral and credible source. Anyhow this is the last I will discuss this matter here, we can continue this discussion on the proper page. This discussion is to consider the deletion of this page due to redundancy not due to its factual basis.--Realstarslayer 05:18, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Its not redundant, there is already over a hundred terrorist attacks on this page , not listed in Notable Attacks by the LTTE.This is for the period 1980-1994. There are hundreds more to be added from 1994 - 2006 which do not exist in Notable Attacks by the LTTE. There is no question of redundancy here. Both articles cover different areas. LTTE terrorist attacks number in several hundred and military attacks in thousands.Its not practical to combine different types of incidents to form supermassive pages containng thousands of incidents. How do you propose to maintain the readability of pages with thousands of incidents. People will go mad trying to read it. Keep terrorist and military attacks separate , then there is no redundancy. The Notable Attacks by the LTTEhighlights the top 100 or so incidents out of these thousands of incident also so its useful. Let the  Ruchiraw 05:38, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. Oh no, not again. This is an unnecessary POV fork. --Core des at talk. o.o;; 21:03, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

*Clean-up Page does not offer adequate context for those unfamiliar with the topic. LTTE is not an acronym with a meaning known to all. Because of this, I'm not able to form an adequate judgement about whether the page should be kept. GRBerry 01:59, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. This page only contains information about terrorist attacks by LTTE. It aims to list all terorist incidents(numbering several hundreds) including minor ones. Already contains dozens of incidents not listed in Notable Attacks by the LTTE because they are not "Notable attacks" but minor terrorist ones. Source is the UNHCR website. Merging several hundred minor terrorist attacks into Notable Attacks by the LTTE would make that page not meaningful considering its title and purpose. It is not a spin off from Notable Attacks by the LTTE, it is factual and NPOV and is addresses a different topic, purpose and facts than Notable Attacks by the LTTERuchiraw 23:12, 26 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete or merge with Notable attacks by the LTTERaveenS 02:44, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete A lot of poorly referenced accusations pointing to SL Government propaganda at the UN. Clearly its breaking every rule in the book.  Its not even close to NPOV.  There is no proof that the LTTE committed these actions (except for example the Rajiv Gandhi assassination.  If it can't be proven.. then it must be stated as Accusation.  The fact is its not. Trincomanb 03:21, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Are you trying to take away the right of a government to protest human rights violations against civilians.These incidents happened or they wouldnt be publised on a UN site. Perhaps you think the UN has a hidden agenda. Ruchiraw 03:42, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep The racist Sri Lankan Tamil members of wikipedia are going into fits over this as can be seen above. The article has a very good source. Trying to white wash it by putting it under "notable attacks" of the LTTE is laughable.


 * I think some of you are missing the point, the discussion is not whether items listed here are factual or not, it is just to determine whether it makes sense to have three different pages to cover the same thing. The discussion as to what is factual or not should occur on the main notable attacks page. And to the unsigned poster above, I'm sure everyone will take heed of your advice when you make blanket statements about other wikipedians.--Realstarslayer 04:23, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Its not practical to combine different types of incidents to form supermassive pages containng thousands of incidents. LTTE terrorist attacks number in several hundred and military attacks in thousands. How do you propose to maintain the readability of pages with thousands of incidents. People will go mad trying to read it. Ruchiraw 05:38, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep - I think the point is that while the Notable attacks by the LTTE article focuses mostly on the military attacks by the LTTE, the Terrorist attacks carried out by LTTE page focuses more on the attacks carried out against civilians. In any case it contains a lot of information that is not included in the notable attacks page which I think is worth preserving. It could be argued that both pages be merged with each other / with the LTTE page, but that will make it unwieldy and quite hard to navigate. I also don't think it can be labeled POV since most information is from the UNHCR website and from BBC, CNN etc. Besides POV is not a normal reason for nomination for deletion. --snowolfd4 09:03, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi snowolfd4 my issue with this page is that it is a division of effort and redundant if some of these items are not covered on the 'notable attacks' page then we should discuss it there and add those that are deemed worthwhile. As for the actual items on this page please see the comments above, this is not a posting by the UNHCR, they have merely posted a letter sent to them by the GoSL, so certainly all these 'hundreds of attacks' cannot be verified by independant sources.--Realstarslayer 04:15, 28 July 2006 (UTC)


 * There are citations from at several different sources such as CNN, BBC, GOSL, Amnesty, UTHR. Perhaps you can explain how all of them are partisan. Ruchiraw 11:48, 30 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. Both articles are too long already. If they merged and then expanded it may not be stylistically readable according to article size guideline of Wikipedia, specifically the following sentence of that guideline
 * However, there are still good stylistic reasons why the main body of an article should not be unreasonably long, including readability issues, so article size is usually a consideration, though no longer a binding rule as it once was. NumeroUno 10:01, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. I don't see any reason to delete or merge this page with any other page.SwissMissy 11:12, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment. I think it may be best to have just one article List of attacks attributed to the LTTE, with the sections Attacks on civilian targets and Attacks on military targets, with each divided into sections listing attacks proved to have been by the LTTE and attacks only attributed to the LTTE with no conclusive proof.  This will avoid issues with verifiability, and also the problem that if the word "terrorist" is included in the title the article will not be NPOV. -- Ponnampalam 12:51, 27 July 2006 (UTC)


 * LTTE has committed more terrorist attacks than any other group in the world. If we try to mix up a page detailing its terrorist attacks with other attacks, it will become hundreds of pages long. See article sizeRuchiraw 23:18, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Do you have citation for the above statement ("LTTE has committed more terrorist attacks than any other group in the world") or is this just made up ? Well if we were to document instances of torture,killings, abductions etc of Tamil civillians by the SL Governments and its proxies then it will be hundreds of thousands of pages.  Trincomanb 04:06, 28 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Let me know which suicide bombings are not classified as terrorist. LTTE is a pioneer in the terrorist field and it is generally acknowledged it has carried out several hundred terrorist attacks, more than any other terrorist group. Ruchiraw 22:34, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Over half of ALL the suicide bombings in the world have been carried out by LTTE (http://www.ict.org.il/articles/articledet.cfm?articleid=470). Over 200 incidents to describe in thsi page alone plus hundreds of attacks on civilians. Ruchiraw 06:43, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The citation that you mention and what you boastfully stated earlier is not exactly the same. Not all suicide bombings are considered terrorism.  Besides terrorism has a disputed definition.  You are attempting to spice your facts and pushing it with intentionally vague referencing.  This is bad academic practise to say the least.  I have also noticed a number of non-participating users coming here to vote to keep this page.  How interesting!! Trincomanb 13:21, 28 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete This page contains original info which is infact a document sent by the SL Government to UNHCR.  Its propaganda rubbish.  Everyhting else is covered elsewhere.  So this page is redundant, therefore it should be deleted Johnathan1156 13:49, 27 July 2006 (UTC).


 * These incidents happened. There are many citations from Amnesty International, MPIT Terrorist database, BBC, etc:-.Please read through carefully. Suggect you add references as well instead of trying to hide evidence of terrorist attacks. Ruchiraw 23:19, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Just because the SL Government says so doesn't mean it happened. The credibility of this document is minimal if its coming from the SL Government (government of a failed state, with a dysfunctional democracy, abhorent human rights record etc. etc..) If there is citation from Amnesty for a particular incident then it has weight.. otherwise it doesn't mean that it didn't happen but it is just that the source is not credible.  If the SL government's fairy tales are to be believed, then we might as well add items from LTTE peace secretariat as well. Trincomanb 04:02, 28 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Sri Lanka has a democratically elected government which is more than can be said for the LTTE which relies on violence to remain in power, is banned in over thirty countries and whose leader is wanted by Interpol for terrorism. You cant equate the two. You are missing my point, there are many citations from Amnesty International, BBC, MIPT terrorist database as well. Have you read the article being discussedRuchiraw 06:43, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Sri Lanka has the second highest number of disappearances after Iraq.. this includes a lot of Sinhalese missing since the JVP insurrection which some have comfortably forgotten. Democracy for who, everyone or just Sinhala Budhists ?  The fact of the matter is that world has threatened to impose sanctions on both parties and very soon send some of those that give you orders to the criminal court for war crimes.  LTTE's proxy the TNA is by far the most popular party in the North-East.  Why would you want to participate in flawed, decaying democracy such as Sri Lanka ?   There maybe many citations of events that occured, but you are using that to sneak in govt. fairy tales as well, thinking the rest of  us dim enough not to notice it.  Reputable sources are careful not point the finger without proof and most of the incidents have not been proven to be comitted by the LTTE.  Wikipedia is not a place to speculate.  If you want to speculate become an astrologer. Trincomanb 13:11, 28 July 2006 (UTC)


 * This is the third time I am reminding you that there are plenty of citations from BBC, Amnesty International and MIPT terrorist database. Which members of the Sri Lankan government are wanted by Interpol. I believe Japan is also contemplating banning the LTTE. The US has also promised substantial military help to Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is a world recognised government. The governments of 1.5 billion people have benned LTTE as a terrorsit group. Where is the proof Al Quaeda committed teh Twin Tower bombigs. Perhaps you deny that as well. Sri Lanka is a vibrant democracy. As I mention again it is the responsibility of the government to find out who is massacring its civilians. Ruchiraw 22:30, 28 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep Keep but clean up this page JamesBooond 07:05, 28 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. We already cover the subject with Notable attacks by the LTTE. This article is a fork and an example of what Wikipedia should not be. Ulflarsen 18:02, 28 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Ulflarsen As I have pointed out several times there are Takes away the meaning of the word "Notable attacks" hundreds of minor terrorist attacks on this page whcih cannot be integrated into Notable attacks by the LTTE. Notable attacks by the LTTE covers only signicant LTTE military and terrorist attacks at the moment. Look at  article size guideline of Wikipedia. . There is no point to include hundreds of minor terrorist attacks and thousands of minor military attacks into this page in the name of stopping forks.Ruchiraw 22:24, 28 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Ruchiraw, I think you stated it quite well: There is no point to include hundreds of minor terrorist attacks and thousands of minor military attacks into this page. This is why I started the deletion request for this page, the notable attacks page is more than enough to cover the main attacks and we can discuss any others that you feel should be included and do so when a consensus is reached, otherwise we are going to have a myriad of pages for all sorts of things. Should we start a page for all GoSL human rights violations? The Human Rights Commission of SL just recently decided to abandoned 2000 cases because of pressure from the president, in their own words; further investigation would require the government to pay out compensation ? So should we start a page and list each one of those 2,000 cases? And that is 2,000 out of more than 16,000 cases still pending? So should we have an entry for each one of those 16,000 cases?--Realstarslayer 02:57, 29 July 2006 (UTC)


 * BTW I'm not sure you even read the section about POV forks, otherwise you would not be arguing against the deletion of this page, let me just quote it here:


 * A POV fork is an attempt to evade NPOV guidelines by creating a new article about a certain subject that is already treated in an article often to avoid or highlight negative or positive viewpoints or facts. This is generally considered unacceptable. The generally accepted policy is that all facts and majority Points of View on a certain subject are treated in one article.

The votes should be checked to find out if they are sockpuppets. Ulflarsen 05:22, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I also believe the vote should be checked for sockpuppets. Some users seem really desperate to bend all the rules. Trincomanb 23:36, 30 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes I too find it astounding that so many new 'faces' have appeared here to vote in favour of keeping a blatant POVfork, users who have never been seen discussing or contributing to any related articles.--Realstarslayer 02:04, 31 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. Useful and relevant information. If there is an article on "State terrorism" of Sri Lanka then there should be no problem of having a list of terrorist attacks carried out by the LTTE.


 * Keep. This Artical have more information RavenS 03:31, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

If one artical should be deleated it should be the other one.[Notable_attacks_by_the_LTTE] not this. This has more info than that.

we have tried to incorporate the below list to the main artical of LTTE. But the users of that page dont allow any NPOV on that page and our contributions got reverted all the time. Below is the list of attacks we tried to incorporated but they kept deleating them and finally moved in to the descussion page. Then they compleately took off that part from the main LTTE page and opened up a new page to avoid readers to see these attacks. I dont think that this page should be deleted and I vote to keep it. Plus all these attacks are listed as attacks carried out by the LTTE. Why cant we give that information to the readers?? Arent Wikipedia based on facts?RavenS 03:31, 31 July 2006 (UTC)


 * The fact is that this article is a POVFork and so should be deleted, that is all (BTW you should read the discussion before going back to that 'its listed by the UNHCR' stuff, since it has been clearly shown that it was nothing more than a letter sent to the UNHCR by the GoSL) .--Realstarslayer 03:36, 31 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Nothing more than a letter sent to the UNHCR?? you are confusing me here! Are you saying that the UNHCR is stupid that they publishes every letter they receive on their web site??--RavenS 06:20, 6 August 2006 (UTC)


 * What are you whining about? Then the "State Terrorism of Sri Lanka" is also POV and should be deleted. -by anonymous 58.164.160.91.


 * It is listed In MIPT Terrorism Knowledge Base MIPT Terrorism Knowledge Basethat LTTE is a terrorist Group and its listed that the attacks below was carried out by the LTTE in UNHCHR UNHCHR.So I dont see any problem in listing these as "notable attacks" by LTTE.As a matter of fact we are all trying to give the true picture to the world not mislead them.RavenS 03:22, 31 July 2006 (UTC)


 * RavenS, I'm really not sure what you are going on about, I did not make any comment as to the collective intelligence of the UNHCR. Some interested parties were trying to pass off that list as having been compiled by the UNHCR when it wasn't. It is only a letter sent to the UNHCR by the GoSL and thus not a valid citation for these attacks, as they are one of the parties to the ethnic conflict and so cannot be considered as an independent non interested third party. Those are just the facts no matter how much you may wish it otherwise. --Realstarslayer 15:47, 6 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. I suggest merging with State terrorism in Sri Lanka under the title Notable human rights violations in Sri Lanka, in the process cleaning up (and out) a lot. And we would have to have several impartial users constantly watch the page. But well, we also have to do so now with the different articles, anyway. Krankman 09:54, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Krankman, this lists the terrorist attacks by the LTTE and has absolutely no connection to state terrorsim in Sri Lanka page


 * I think Krankman's suggestion is a very good one. Then the readers can judge for themselves who the terrorist are. This will also produce quality wiki articles where the reader is provided with NPOV info.--RavenS 06:20, 6 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Sounds good, I change my opinion from delete to merge as user Krankman suggests. Ulflarsen 12:20, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
