According to historian David Gaunt, a primary characteristic was the total targeting of the Assyrian population, including farming villages as well as rebelling mountain tribes. The killing in rural regions was more extensive, while some survived the massacres in cities; Gaunt states that this indicates that a primary aim was the confiscation of land. The property, villages and animals of the villagers were destroyed totally to prevent their return.[1] In most areas, the genocide occurred between June and October 1915.[2]

There are four actually five discussions archived in Talk:Sayfo/Archive 5. The problem with the infobox that's been added is that it's misleading to readers. For example, the numbers of dead provided is the only number that exists, but reliable sources don't consider it an accurate figure. Location is not accurate since the article also discusses events in Iran/Persia. Target is biased because of the terminological issues discussed in the article, and the perpetrators is incomplete to the point of bias. The content provided in the date, attack type, and motive fields is not supported by reliable sources. Etc. I think all of these nuances cannot be conveyed adequately in the infobox format.

This all doesn’t make much sense tho.
first of all, the number is actually reliable and supported by various academics? Location can be fixed, but you’re actually wrong considering the massacres In Persia took place when the ottomans occupied those areas, meaning it remains in the Ottoman Empire. The target isn’t biased in any way bro, target is Assyrian, simple as that. Just go and watch any other genocide page, those pages are absolutely no different from the points ur throwing out. And the date, attack type, and motive are all sourced throughout the page, so idk what ur talking about. The Infobox isn’t misleading, but an easier way for readers to sum up the whole page.
I agree with Buidhe here, and I really don't think we have to have this discussion again. This article passed FAC in this state, and had plenty of eyes on it, after all; any such change should require a consensus of multiple authors. (Taking WP:NICE at heart would help, too). --Jens Lallensack (talk) 00:12, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Just to be a bit more specific: you give the dates as 1915-1917. I'd say the article supports the 1915 start date sufficiently (although some sources say 1914), but there is no sourced content in the article that it ended in 1917. Some sources give 1915 as the end year, others 1918 or even 1924. This type of disagreement on the most basic facts makes it hard to represent the subject using an infobox, without failing NPOV or other policies. I also opposed an infobox on the Armenian genocide article, but at least there is more consensus on the basic info. (t · c) buidhe00:57, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
