@PopularGames and ElijahPepe: Couldn't help but notice an emerging edit war here. How about y'all discuss the matter of merging here instead of in edit summaries. The page was redirect and then reverted, so now is the time to follow WP:BRD. TornadoLGS (talk) 02:52, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Copying what I said on my talk page:

Thank you for being forthcoming about what you hope to achieve. I believe we have a communication issue here with two separate pages, and it is likely that this situation will change faster than an AfD discussion can be closed.
I'm not opposed to two separate pages but, I agree, there is a difficult situation here. I created my page five minutes before yours and, going off of the titles, it seems as though "2023 Memphis protests" covers exclusively protests in Memphis. I believe we should take this to another talk page to get more attention from other editors

Comment ― It seems clear that we need to cover all protests (national and international) related to the killing of Tyre Nichols. Whether there is enough media attention and popular resistance to consider having two separate articles remains to be seen, in my opinion.

Wait - it could wound up like the George Floyd protests, where there was a broader article (George Floyd Protests) and a specific sub article dedicated to the George Floyd protests in Minneapolis–Saint Paul. Whether or not this will apply to this situation however remains to be seen. Merge for now - there may need be reason for future expansion of the Memphis article if the protests as a whole expand, but for now, lets just integrate it into the Tyre Nichos Protests article.

If the topic are the same thing then maybe merge this into the Memphis protest. Cwater1 (talk) 05:46, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Colorado Springs

[edit]

There was a Tyre Nichols protest in Colorado Springs on February 4, but I'm not sure "Fight Back News" would pass muster as WP:RS. What say you all? Kire1975 (talk) 23:02, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
