Notability, NEVENT

@Jim Michael: In reply to your edit summary (this is easily notable enough for an article. Like the Togoga airstrike, it has a death toll of over 50.) Keeping a standalone article isn't determined on whether there is another extant article, but whether this one passes WP:GNG and WP:NEVENT. Specifically, see Inclusion criteria. Platonk (talk) 20:07, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It fits the criteria; it has historical significance & is covered by reliable, mainstream media sources. I mentioned the Togoga airstrike because it's a similar event, with a similar level of notability. Each was an airstrike by the Ethiopian Air Force which killed over 50 civilians in the Tigray Region. It's not a routine or minor event. Jim Michael (talk) 20:18, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Historical significance? By whose measure? Or is it just one of hundreds of other skirmishes in a messy war? See also WP:NOTNEWS & WP:RECENTISM. Platonk (talk) 20:54, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't a skirmish - the air force killed over 50 civilians in an airstrike on an IDP camp; that's not a usual target for the military. Like I say, it's clearly of similar notability to the similar airstrike on a market in Togoga. Jim Michael (talk) 21:19, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
