Merge

This should be merged into 2014 insurgency in Donbass. Most of the article is "background" that is already covered there, making it a fork. There are only two sentences on the actual shelling itself. RGloucester — ☎ 18:31, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@RGloucester: Good point. However, what if we try to expand this article and if it simply can't be done we just merge it?—Arbutus the tree (talk) 19:31, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I still find it hard to believe that this will meet WP:PERSISTENCE. Regardless, if you think you can expand the article, try to do so. I find it unlikely, however, that there is much content that can be added. RGloucester — ☎ 19:32, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose merge Article is about a notable subject, and requires details as such. Size and detail are too much for a merge. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 22:57, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose merge This is a major incidence with further significance for the war. It has already provoked reaction from Russia and escalate the situation into unknown paths http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/13/ukrainian-shell-russian-border-town-donetsk O Grego (talk) 10:47, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
