Not terrorism

edit

Wikipedia has guidelines for labelling a person with the value-laden term of terrorist. Definitions of terrorism vary, and are often controversial and subject to disagreement. I have removed the Terrorism related categories from the article and the WikiProject Terrorism banner, too. The events in this article are outside the scope of WikiProject Terrorism, which is limited to "... acts of violence against civilians by Violent non-state actors ("VNSAs") for political gain ..." That is not the case with this event, which has been characterized as revenge, sectarian murders and hate crime in sources. Wikipedia should apply the crime labels that sources support, not provide an editorial opinion that sources do not support. Instead, I have added banners for WikiProject Crime and Criminal Biography and WikiProject Death because this event was treated as murder. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 18:32, 9 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
