- Merge? How? TBATlol (talk) 12:52, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- It refers to the same event. So yes it should be merged and covered in the same article to avoid unnecessary content forks. R Prazeres (talk) 15:12, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- After looking further, this is a clear duplicate of the topic at 1033 Fez massacre, with nothing substantially different. I've added some minor details (like names) to 1033 Fez massacre that weren't yet mentioned there, but otherwise there's nothing new here. Since this was created hours ago, there's no point in having a full merge discussion, I'm going to blank and redirect it to the existing article. If there is a desire to rename 1033 Fez massacre to something more neutral or with a slightly wider scope, I'd recommend starting a WP:RM there. R Prazeres (talk) 16:08, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- i worked hours on this why would you do that? is it fun ruining someones effort? its litteraly a different thing, by your logic since the holocaust was the main massacre during ww2 then we should merge the two. TBATlol (talk) 18:04, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- Please assume good faith and remain civil. When you create an article, it clearly tells you to check whether similar articles already exist. You may have missed the other article, and that's fine, it happens. But it doesn't justify keeping a duplicate article. The structure of the enyclopedia is to have one article per topic. If there is a very large amount of information on the same topic, then additional articles may be appropriate to cover different subtopics, but that's not the case here. Please read Wikipedia:Content forks, as I linked above. R Prazeres (talk) 18:16, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- it is not a duplicate title, if it makes you happy i remove the massacre of fez category, and make the political battle. TBATlol (talk) 18:25, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- No, that's clearly not helpful and it's not how Wikipedia works. If there is further information to add, please do so to the existing article 1033 Fez massacre. Or if you want to propose a wider change to the way the topic is covered, then please explain your proposal at Talk:1033 Fez massacre. R Prazeres (talk) 18:30, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

- As an additional clarification: nothing stops you from adding any missing information (so long as it's reliably sourced) to the other article, if your intention is to keep working on the same topic. R Prazeres (talk) 18:22, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
