Pics

Hi. Im from Israel. On news channel appeared pics confirming body of dead Sinwar, so he is 100% dead. Can add this to article? 46.116.159.109 (talk) 15:29, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

 Not done Please provide sources on this Abo Yemen 15:53, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
I'm not defending Sinwar or anything, but I find it a bit jarring that this page was created before his death was even officially confirmed. If Israel ultimately denies his death, Misplaced Pages will look rather silly. :) Psychloppos (talk) 16:16, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Article name

Should the term Assassination be used instead of Killing? Abo Yemen 15:54, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

No since Assassination would imply individual targeting which does not seem to have been the case according to currently available information 2A02:3037:269:7676:A860:48F:243C:6510 (talk) 15:56, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
We also have the flowchart at Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (violence and deaths), which goes into some detail and can be useful for these situations - there is no mention (and thusly no consensus, on that page anyways) for use of "Assassination" - the bar for that would be significant use of the term in reliable sources, as noted in this essay: Misplaced Pages:Assassination ASUKITE 16:06, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
I'll wait to see what most sources say once his death is confirmed before I open an RM Abo Yemen 16:09, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
We should check the rationale which led to choosing the name Killing of Osama bin Laden and see which name would be more fitting here. Psychloppos (talk) 16:12, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Not confirmed

the article claims the DNA has been confirmed to be Sinwar, it cites 2 sources both of which only report that testing is to take place. Neither claim there ist confirmation by DNA this should be corrected 2A02:3037:269:7676:A860:48F:243C:6510 (talk) 15:55, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Abo Yemen 15:58, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
