Merge and Title
It seems either Wissam al-Hassan should be merged into here or the opposite. FunkMonk (talk) 22:38, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
- There are two articles about Rafic Hariri and Assassination of Rafic Hariri then why not two articles here.

I think the best way to solve this issue is to keep Wissam al-Hassan's page while renaming this one October 2012 Beirut Bombing. This way, we can make a point of the other victims and they do not go forgotten too. We're talking 100+ wounded as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Karim226 (talk • contribs) 06:59, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
- Then again, all sources and international parties seem to agree that this was a targeted attack against a specific individual, with the bystanders being unintended collateral. --hydrox (talk) 08:54, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
Agree with Karim26. Hassam was kill among 7 other people so I think this isn´t a very right name. Moreover, we don´t know 100% that he was the target (although personally for me it is as clear as crystal)--Comet21 (talk) 15:35, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose merge. This is big news and deserves its own article.--talk) 03:02, 21 October 2012 (UTC)]
Title change
I also propose we change the title of this article to 2012 Beirut bombing per
- Also, I don't mind adding October in the title, I don't think it matters. --talk) 03:07, 21 October 2012 (UTC)]
- The current WP:LEADSENTENCE is for article "Assassination of Wissam al-Hassan". This should be fixed, but I am having hard time writing the opening so that it does not name al-Hassan as the primary target of the attack. --hydrox (talk) 11:01, 21 October 2012 (UTC)]
- The lede sentence doesn't have to bold something all the time. See talk) 12:42, 21 October 2012 (UTC)]

- Oppose title change from October 2012 Beirut bombing.
- However, WP:CRYSTAL'ic, because it seems to assume there will be more bombings to come in Beirut in 2012.
- As the move to the more concise name could be still done without sysadmin intervention, I've boldly done it. --hydrox (talk) 11:25, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
