Merge request 27 April 2025

The information presented in this article is quite redundant with the already-existing Western Syria clashes (December 2024–present) and 2025 massacres of Syrian Alawites articles. At the moment, most of the content in this article is either duplicated between this article and one of those (see clashes article#March 2025 Western Syria clashes and massacres article#March) or can be easily synthesized with the already existing information. Per WP:REDUNDANTFORK the non-duplicated information in this article should be merged into one or both of the relevant articles above. Yeoutie (talk) 01:48, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: Per WP:GNG, the March Western Syria clashes have received sufficient coverage from independent and reliable sources, and while the text in those articles shares overlap with this one, the event itself (the uprising) is significant enough to warrant a separate article. If those articles share duplicated text, they probably could just be reworded. Asclepias tuberosa (talk) 01:02, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per WP:GNG. Skitash (talk) 23:31, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Strong oppose but declare the march clashes and escalation in severity are over. Not only did a major operation happen but a massacre as well there is 0 reason to merge them. Yesyesmrcool (talk) 22:37, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The clashes in March are a large escalation from the ones in December, which seem to be more like small skirmishes than actual clashes RowanJ LP (talk) RowanJ LP (talk) 12:51, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose merge with massacre article, which is its own, one-sided abuse against civilians. But it can be argued that the December clashes and the later ones are continuous. FunkMonk (talk) 16:21, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Massacre

Why does this page say nothing about the massacre of thousands of Alawite civilians perpetrated by jihadists? Is there an attempt to cover up the largest massacre of the war in Syria? Skr561 (talk) 19:37, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is mentioned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Syria_clashes_(March_2025%E2%80%93present)#8_March. David O. Johnson (talk) 20:40, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
