Utility of the article[edit]

Though I would have thought it goes without saying, I am anticipating that some editors on this site might argue against the benefits of an entry on this subject.

In anticipation of the argument that this page could be subsumed within the pages: Frontier Wars, or List of massacres of Indigenous Australians; this page addresses a conceptually distinct topic.

The Frontier Wars page doesn't fully address the topic covered by this article, as it is historically bounded, and primarily only addresses one form of genocide. The list page also isn't wide enough in scope, because it excludes acts of genocide commonly described as such, that aren't massacres; one example being the eugenicist policies of A. O. Neville.

Genocides can not be covered in an article about massacres. The concept of genocide is not limited to killing. Per the main article, it includes causing serious bodily or mental harm to the targeted group, imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group.
