Editing Talk:Hashem Safieddine (section)

== Merge proposal ==

Merge [[Assassination of Hashem Safieddine]] into [[Hashem Safieddine]]. Much of the content is [[WP:REDUNDANT]]. It's been over a year. The event received routine news coverage befitting the assassination of the leader of a militant figure. He was then replaced and history went on. It didn't changed the course of the war or regional dynamics. Compare with the level and depth of coverage and analysis of the [[2024 Hezbollah headquarters strike]] or the [[assassination of Qasem Soleimani]]. Hardly [[WP:LASTING]] effects and no need for a separate page. [[User:Longhornsg|Longhornsg]] ([[User talk:Longhornsg|talk]]) 22:19, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
* '''Strongly Oppose''' – This was the assassination of Hezbollah's Number 2 leader (actually, probably the de-facto leader) at the time, and it also took out several other high-ranking Hezbollah leaders. It's notable enough for its own article. The current state of the article is more due to a lack of effort than a lack of sources covering the subject. On that note, I would say that Wikipedia needs more articles on these kinds of military strikes and special operations (such as the one that took out ISIL's second leader, Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurashi), not less.

* '''Support''' per [[WP:PAGEDECIDE]]. This is a major aspect of Safieddine's biography, so the only justification for it to be separate would be if the article was so long the info wouldn't fit.

*'''Oppose''' per above given the subject's notability and their role within Hezbollah. [[User:Skitash|Skitash]] ([[User talk:Skitash|talk]]) 19:18, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
