== Merge proposal ==
I propose merging [[List of terrorist incidents in Australia]] into [[Terrorism in Australia]]. There is significant overlap between the two articles, with the Terrorism in Australia page being half list anyway and the List of terrorist incidents in Australia is in very poor shape.

:'''Oppose-''' The "Terrorism in Australia" article provides contextual information, history, legislation, and analysis of terrorism trends. The "List of terrorist incidents in Australia" provides a chronological, factual record of incidents. Keeping them separate allows readers to quickly access either detailed narrative or a factual list without one overwhelming the other. Wikipedia commonly separates narrative articles from lists of events, this separation is a standard editorial practice to improve clarity and navigability.

:'''Support''' — agree with proposer's argument that there is significant overlap between the two articles, and there is not an identified need for them to be separate. [[User:CommandAShepard|CommandAShepard]] ([[User talk:CommandAShepard|talk]]) 11:36, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
:Pinging @[[User:דברי.הימים|דברי.הימים]], @[[User:PARAKANYAA|PARAKANYAA]] and @[[User:Yue|Yue]] as editors involved in the merge discussion at [[Talk:Terrorism in Australia#Proposed merge of Far-right terrorism in Australia into Terrorism in Australia]].

:Well, ideally it would probable be a list and a different prose article that gives greater detail on the broader issue, not a list article and a slightly worse list article. IMO removing the list content from the main terrorism in Australia article would be a better choice. Status quo is bad, though. [[User:PARAKANYAA|PARAKANYAA]] ([[User talk:PARAKANYAA|talk]]) 05:35, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
::@[[User:PARAKANYAA|PARAKANYAA]] So remove the main article's current list and replacing it with the one from the list article? [[User:CommandAShepard|CommandAShepard]] ([[User talk:CommandAShepard|talk]]) 05:39, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
:::I mean that would be the ideal but it might be more complicated in practice. Basically move the list content to one list article and then have a solely prose article evaluating the general phenomenon. [[User:PARAKANYAA|PARAKANYAA]] ([[User talk:PARAKANYAA|talk]]) 05:43, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
::::Ideally that is a good idea; however, I can see reverts happening or a list creeping back into 'Terrorism in Australian'. That's why I proposed what I see as the more pragmatic solution. ''[[User:TarnishedPath|TarnishedPath]]''[[User talk:TarnishedPath|talk]] 07:05, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
:::::Agreed @[[User:TarnishedPath|TarnishedPath]]. I wasn't suggesting keeping the list article; all of its content would be merged/superceded into the main article. [[User:CommandAShepard|CommandAShepard]] ([[User talk:CommandAShepard|talk]]) 07:30, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
:'''Oppose''': The [[Terrorism in Australia]] article is very long already. Adding the [[List of terrorist incidents in Australia]] will make it longer. Keep the list separate. [[User:Melbguy05|Melbguy05]] ([[User talk:Melbguy05|talk]]) 15:54, 25 January 2026 (UTC)
::The list of incidents is already mostly in [[Terrorism in Australia]]. ''[[User:TarnishedPath|TarnishedPath]]''[[User talk:TarnishedPath|talk]] 02:33, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
:<s>'''Oppose:''' Both pages are already quite large. Large tables work better as stand-alone pages. There's no benefit from trying to combine the two. </s> [[User:LateNightCoffee|Late Night Coffee]] ([[User talk:LateNightCoffee|talk]]) 10:58, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
: '''Merge or expand scope:''' "in Australia" isn't enough for a list page, there's only about 20 events on the list. Eıther merge it to the other page. Or alternately, expand the scope to a wider topic "List of terrorist incidents in Oceania" or "List of terrorist incidents involving Australia(ns)".
