== Lead Paragraph - Islamists == |
|
|
I have looked at the revision history and see that for years the killers were described as, 'Islamist home-grown terrorists' (, and . The March 2014 change is a challenge to the term, 'homegrown' but the editor also removed 'terrorist'. This appears inadvertent but went unchallenged at the time and has remained unchallenged, as far as I can tell. I am challenging this now as the killers and their murderous spree was not solely the outcome of them being ]s but, more concisely, the outcome of them being Islamist, ] - terminology which according to the Wiki lead includes, "the use of extreme tactics such as bombing and assassinations for achieving perceived Islamic goals". That is precisely what these killers did. I think to revert to the previous, longstanding 'terrorist' is insufficient as it still leaves 'Islamist' standing as the primary descriptor of the killers (it almost goes without saying that they were terrorist, after all). ''Just as there's a world of difference between Christians and Christian extremists...'' And that important difference (it's not minor) is made all the more important in a record of such a barbarous event. |

Far from editing a description that has stood for years, I am correcting an edit from last year that to all intents looks inadvertent or superfluous.] (]) 02:15, 14 July 2015 (UTC) |

== List of victims == |
|
|
We should not include the detailed list of victims here: it doesn't add anything to our understanding of the bombings, and goes against ]. -- ] (]) 14:46, 21 December 2015 (UTC) |

:Fundamental misunderstanding of ], which clearly states: |
|
|
::"Subjects of encyclopedia articles must satisfy Misplaced Pages's notability requirements. Misplaced Pages is not the place to memorialize deceased friends, relatives, acquaintances, or others who do not meet such requirements." |
|
|
:WP:NOTMEMORIAL prohibits the creation of pages to specifically memorialise non-notable individuals, which is clearly completely different from victims of a terrorist incident being detailed on the page about that incident. The subject of this page is the incident, and the victims are information therein. ] (]) 15:16, 21 December 2015 (UTC) |

:Tough. ] is about creating memorial pages to non-notable individuals. The names of the victims are 7/7 are detail on the page, not the subject of the page itself,a nd there is nothing at ] that justifies their removal. ] (]) 10:55, 22 December 2015 (UTC) |

:::It is perfectly clear what ] is about, i.e. creating pages specifically to memorialise individuals, which is clearly not the case here. I'm sorry that you have such contempt for the victims of terrorism that them being named winds you up so much. ] (]) 15:58, 22 December 2015 (UTC) |

From my reading of ], I do not think it is directly relevant here. It is about refraining from including non-notable information, and although I do feel that it should be interpreted broadly enough to cover not only the subjects of articles (per a literalistic reading) but also information about people that is contained within other articles, it is hard to argue that information that has been reported in multiple quality media sources (e.g. ) is not notable. If there had been only a small number of victims, I would say that they should unquestionably be named. However, an entirely separate consideration from that of notability is that a long list of names would add a lot of text to the article for relatively little extra understanding. I would therefore support adding the list of names if it is inside one of those show/hide boxes with the default being hide. --] (]) 11:00, 30 March 2016 (UTC) |

No comment on this? If it remains silent here for another week, then I will tentatively re-add the names inside a show/hide box (provided I can work out how to do so). I also note that there are names listed at ]. |
