We cannot have an article on every single strike on every single Ukrainian locality throughout the war. This strike only caused three deaths which by this war's standards is not too remarkable (sad world we live in). The damage caused to a Chinese consular building could assure some notability however it appears no country has reacted to it so its potential is unexploited. Also, Mykolaiv has already been struck before during the year. On top of everything, the title is ambiguous. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 22:13, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

- I just seen a red link and decided to make a page about it. Should this attack be incorporated into another article if it hasn't been already? Pburkart (talk) 22:44, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Pburkart. First of all, you created the article using ChatGPT ([1]), which is a big no-no. Additionally, editing of articles relating to the Russia-Ukraine war is restricted to users who are extended-confirmed (tenure of 500 edits and 30 days), see WP:RUSUKR.

- The whole idea behind Wikipedia is that articles are built over time. I provided a stub. I could have simply said, "In 2023, the Russians attacked Mykolaiv", but that wouldn't have contained as much information. So I used ChatGPT to assist me in creating the article stub. I don't really see the problem with this. If those who are extended confirmed wish to delete or keep it, then there is no issue there either. Pburkart (talk) 12:08, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. It was transformed into an umbrella article about 2022–2023 bombings of city. Teterev53 (talk) 01:30, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

- Comment by nom it's getting close to a keep from me. I'd appreciate it if we could have a 2022 attack other than those two with an article be included. If this article only included three attacks one of which is not notable and the other two having their own separate articles I wouldn't want that kept. I think the article should have one attack without its own article from each year. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 06:39, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
- Keep, it looks to pass notability requirements and the article is quite expansive. ✶Mitch199811✶ 20:29, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: WP:HEY, with preference to merge at least Mykolaiv cluster bombing and possibly Mykolaiv government building missile strike into here. Curbon7 (talk) 21:30, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
