  • Concern "Murder" is a very specific crime. Is killed, executed or assassinated more accurate? Hipocrite (talk) 15:33, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
  • @Hipocrite: Since he was killed during the Armenian Genocide and since genocides are considered "mass murders", I assumed it would be safe to say he was murdered. Besides, the infobox for the Armenian Genocide article says that the "Attack type" is mass murder. Hence, I think using the term murder would be more aligned with the Armenian Genocide article and the consensus reached over its terminology. Assassination can work too. But I believe assassination is limited to a political motive. This may not accurately describe his murder since he wasn't a politician or anything of that sort; he was merely a writer and pharmacist who just happened to be born Armenian. Nevertheless, I do believe there was a political motive behind the Armenian Genocide but some academics argue it may not have been the only motive. At any rate, either term is fine with me.

  • I'm fine with either, just raising the concern. Appreciate you addressing it. Hipocrite (talk) 17:06, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
Okay, thank you Hipocrite. Étienne Dolet (talk) 17:08, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
Long enough, new enough, QPQ done, no copyvios found; assuming good faith on the offline sources, we're good to go. Hipocrite has allayed my hook concerns.--Launchballer 09:36, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
