Duma arson attack edit

This has been reinstated to the lead, despite it having had a death toll of three. Killings with death tolls multiple times higher happened in small towns such as Dunblane, Enniskillen, Hungerford & Omagh. However, there's no mention of the Dunblane massacre, Remembrance Day bombing, the Hungerford massacre or the Omagh bombing in the leads of those articles, despite those mass murders certainly being the things that those towns are best-known for.

The leads of those other articles should be discussed on their talk pages. For this article, the single thing that this village is most famous for right up to a few days ago is a fair choice I think. Zerotalk 13:56, 19 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
We don't usually include attacks in the leads of articles about human settlements & I don't know of a policy guideline or ruling that we should. I don't see that this one, with a death toll of 3, should be an exception. Of course, the attack should be mentioned in the article, but the paragraph in the 1967-present section is sufficient.

Itamar is quite similar. But you are right in most cases. Zerotalk 15:31, 19 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Has anyone been convicted for these killings? Either way, the article intro or later section needs to be amended accordingly.
