Skeptical about the article topic/scope

I think that Sasun massacre (1894) (eg [https://journals.openedition.org/eac/1556], [https://journals.openedition.org/eac/2789], [https://www.academia.edu/44661100/The_Complete_Ruin_of_a_District_The_Sasun_Massacre_of_1894]) and possibly Sasun massacre (1915) are separately notable topics (although the latter might better be covered in an article about Armenian genocide in Bitlis vilayet, cf 1915 genocide in Diyarbekir). But what's not clear to me is sources treating these massacres 20 years apart as the same topic. If anything the historiography is trending in the opposite direction, seeing the Hamidian massacres and the Armenian genocide as having distinct causes. (t · c) buidhe 05:55, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

:And the 1894 massacre is probably best covered in the existing article about the 1894 Sasun rebellion since there are no sizesplit issues at present (see Dersim rebellion). I removed the content related to 1915 because of the copyright concerns expressed in the dyk review. (t · c) buidhe 06:05, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
