One terrorist attack that's part of a larger conflict. Only news coverage, nothing here to indicate notability. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 22:51, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Ménaka Region. 54 people being killed somewhere seems appropriate for a regional history at least. PARAKANYAA (talk) 23:21, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I am concerned with the number of AFDs for terrrorist attacks in the Global South that seem to diminish the notability of people living there. This article does need expansion and more sources, but I cant see how 54 dead in a terrorist attack is not notable. This reflects a bias of lack of reporting in these countries and lack of interest by Western media, which is traditionally used to establish notability.

• Keep I just added an {{expand French}} template. In addition, there's the article List of massacres during the Mali War, where it should be listed. Thepharoah17 (talk) 09:53, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting as opinion is divided between editors advocating Keep and a proposed Merge. A source review would help decide the closure outcome.

• Merge/Redirect to List of massacres during the Mali War per WP:ATD. We should cover this in the context of the larger war which we can do at this list. Right now there is no evidence that WP:NEVENT is met to justify a standalone article. The coverage at the French article is all pretty much within a one week window showing a lack of WP:SUSTAINED coverage of the event. 4meter4 (talk) 17:07, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
