Both should be merged since they're the same thing, just that the April 2024 is more specific timewise and the pro-Palestinian one is more specific in which side the protests take. LilianaUwU(talk / contributions)00:21, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
Wait - The April thing in particular is specifically about solidarity encampments responding to the events at Columbia. It's its own event.
On Columbia college radio WKCR, they're talking about solidarity protests in Paris today, which is not in the United States. Furthermore, the way this page is titled, it could refer to any pro-palestinian protest at any time, not just since October 7. I say wait and see and let it develop some more. There is value in keeping distinct events on separate pages and keeping track of them through templates and things. Kire1975 (talk) 20:17, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agree - This article is close to a few paragraphs, the previous is more in-depth. On a side note, we should open discussion into a shorter name overall like "Protests on Universities During Israel-Hamas War" User:Sawerchessread (talk) 21:06, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wait - My own university just had a massive protest to the war as well. We should wait and see if more of these occur. I can still hear the sirens outside as my campus alarm orders the protestors to disperse.
To clarify, the banner I added to main page: "It has been suggested that April 2024 Israel–Hamas war protests on United States university campuses be merged into this article", but probably should have clarified this above. Given the title change to April 2024 Israel–Hamas war protests on university campuses, I think waiting some time to see how the situation develops isn't a bad idea either, nor is gaining consensus in the meantime.

Wait. I would agree with this given no major further developments, but the situation is actively changing too much. This deserves to be its own article, at least for the meantime. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 15:31, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Disagree — Reliable sources have been regarding the protests since April 18th as a significant escalation in student protests, in particular due to the hundreds of students being arrested by police and campuses, a rate which previously had no precedent for these protests (Ex 1 , Ex 2 , Ex 3). The escalation in the past few days have been notable enough to elicit a direct response to Netanyahu just a few days after the start of the arrests, which, as far as I'm aware, he has not done before for previous student protests. The protests might not be new, but the sheer and sudden change in scale, alongside the immediate and significant police crackdown as a response to this change, should be considered sufficiently distinct from previous protests to warrant its own article.

What about protests on campuses outside the US? (See TP of the other article). There should probably be 2 pages: one for US campuses (considered a detailed article), one in general. That might imply renaming and trimming. Best, -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)09:32, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Moreover, a lot of campus protests/demonstrations were occurring before the Columbia one took off. Starklinson (talk) 01:39, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".
The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the ((EEp)) template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
I have two separate requests: 1. That a new section titled "Protests" be created, so that material detailing events of the protests themselves can be couched within it. 2. The following material and sources, or some similar variation of it, be incorporated into the article:
On April 24th 2024 non-violent protests were planned on the University of Texas at Austin campus by the Palestine Solidarity Committee, a registered student organization at the university. The protests drew a large crowd, which was later dispersed by Austin Police Department officers and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers, who were there as the request of the university and Governor Greg Abbott, who claimed the protests were anti-Semitic and unauthorized.[1] 57 individuals were arrested for criminal trespassing, all of whom were later released without charge by mid-day April 26th.[2] The law enforcement presence and subsequent arrests at the protests have since drawn criticism from both students and professors at the university.[3][4]
