Mali wedding airstrike → Bounti wedding airstrike – More specific on location rather than just Mali. What if another wedding airstrike happens in Mali. Garmin21 (talk) 15:48, 1 October 2021 (UTC) — Relisting. Adumbrativus (talk) 08:57, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"What if another wedding airstrike happens in Mali." We can move the article at that time. — AjaxSmack 04:50, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not my main point, my main point was making it more specific to a place rather then just "Mali" that would be like saying 'wedding bombing in the USA'. Yea there have been no other wedding bombings in the USA but it's not specific at all to the place or date.--Garmin21 (talk) 02:02, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it could be too specific. Bounti is a very small village (not even a commune) with no article on Wikipedia and it does not feature prominently in news story titles of the strike. Using that name for the title provide no meaningful context to general audience. — AjaxSmack 04:49, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Togoga also doesn't have a Wikipedia article and neither does May Ma'ido yet they are named after the exact place they happened.--Garmin21 (talk) 15:52, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Operation_Barkhane#2021–present, leaving an {{R to section}}, per WP:TOOSHORT. @Garmin21: you can always create a redirect to it. I'm happy to translate fr:Opération Éclipse if it helps. 85.67.32.244 (talk) 11:14, 3 October 2021 (UTC) WP:SOCKSTRIKE. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 16:11, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Support a merge per WP:NOTNEWS too. — AjaxSmack 06:09, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Oppose merge. This is a significant event by itself. When did an airstrike ever hit a wedding in Mali before? This event had lasting effects for the French military operations in Mali. There was reduced support for these French military operations after this event. [1] WatABR (talk) 02:01, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. If you search all major news sources, the headline always reads "Airstrike on Mali wedding" or "French airstrike in Mali". The move doesn't really make sense. --WatABR (talk) 02:01, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
