Splitting proposal

[edit]

Today I created the article 2023-2024 Middle Eastern Crisis. I WP:BOLDly moved the conflicts section of the body here to that article so that it could be used as a base for the article (that would be substantially changed later). There is concerns over this, since it would dramatically shrink the size of this article, so under that circumstance consensus over the matter seems to be needed.

I strongly oppose a split. The article already isn't that long, and yes if this were split there would be almost nothing left here [1]. I just can't see any possible reason why a split would be warranted, it's not warranted based on the article's size and the content here versus in the proposed article are essentially the same. Any split would result in an inevitable WP:CFORK. estar8806 (talk) 01:26, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rather than a split, I believe a move may be a better idea since the draft page at Draft:2023–2024 Middle Eastern crisis is essentially a modified fork of this page with the scope expanded to include the Israel–Hamas war. Once the draft page is ready, moving that page to mainspace and redirecting this page there can be considered. VoicefulBread66 (talk) 12:52, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support this idea instead of a split. DeadlyRampage26 (talk) 04:45, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Fantastic Mr. Fox: @Estar8806: Do you support the new proposal? If so I believe the move can be done since there isn't much else I can add to the draft page. VoicefulBread66 (talk) 14:05, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm comfortable with that being presented as an alternative, but I'd have to read a proper RM proposal before I could make a judgement. estar8806 (talk) 21:56, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It definitely could work. Support Fantastic Mr. Fox (talk) 14:40, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
