I propose deleting this article because it appears to contain substantial original research, unsupported interpretations, and unreliable use of sources.

A major concern is the article’s classification of historical wars and conflicts, including the Kazakh–Dzungar wars and Qing military campaigns, as examples of “Kazakhophobia.” This appears to impose a modern ideological interpretation on historical events rather than reflect what reliable sources explicitly state.

I also found apparent source-content discrepancies after checking only a few citations. For example, sources [92]–[94] do not appear to support the claims made about Kazakhs, “Mongoloid” stereotypes, or stereotypes of Kazakhs as superstitious alcoholics and barbaric people. Given that the article contains nearly 100 references, these discrepancies may be more extensive.

Finally, the article appears to misunderstand the concept of “Kazakhophobia.” For example, it presents the use of the term “shala-kazakh” among Kazakhs as evidence of anti-Kazakh sentiment, although the term is primarily used within Kazakh society to describe Kazakhs who are perceived as having lost or weakened their Kazakh identity. This does not, by itself, establish Kazakhophobia. Shtzr (talk) 08:34, 24 August 2026 (UTC)

• Delete. There are so many of these half-baked articles on Wikipedia. They do more harm than good by opening the door to similarly flawed content. Trumpetrep (talk) 21:53, 24 August 2026 (UTC)

It contained a lot of original research and fake references, which I removed previously in accordance with WP:REDFLAG, but I quickly lost interest in the article. btw, the creator of this page apparently relied heavily on LLMs. I've already noticed AI-generated and highly synth or original-research text from @MadNomadist on several occasions.

Fails WP:GNG. Most references are passing or do not mention the subject. The GPAHE source provides sigcov, but GPAHE is not reliable. It is like a much worse version of the SPLC without its editorial standards and does not have a reputation for fact checking or reliability; advocacy organizations are not reliable by default. The Telegraph source is probably ok? Sources 2, 3, 6, do not mention the subject. Sources 1, 4, 5, 8, are passing mentions. Not enough for GNG, even if GPAHE was considered, especially on a contentious political topic where no 1 source is especially high quality. A merge to Iron March would work, as all the sources mention it in the context of that much more notable forum. PARAKANYAA (talk) 12:18, 18 August 2026 (UTC)

Available sources are mostly primary news reporting, no WP:SUSTAINED and significant coverage about the event available. We also already cover it Hinduism in Malaysia#Cow head debacle. Also potentially on the table, if anyone feels like the coverage we have at that article is insufficient, is the bold alternative of turning Persecution of Hindus in Malaysia, currently a redirect to Hinduism in Malaysia#Persecution of Hindus, into an article, and then merging to that article. The reason I'm not proposing a merge is that I think it would be WP:UNDUE to add more information about this to the Hinduism in Malaysia article. –Maltazarian ^{ᚾparley${\displaystyle \lor }$investigateᛅ} 14:11, 15 August 2026 (UTC)

• Keep while the reasons stated by nominator are understandable but a bit confusing. This article does pass WP:LASTING and WP:NEVENT and has a lot of independent reliable coverage. While the proposed page is a good call. But until then keep the page, perhaps more sources can be added. , , , , , , , , . Dz5t 8O12 (talk) 16:27, 23 August 2026 (UTC)

• Keep as the article passes WP:GNG. The issue itself is significant enough to have an article, also, the user above provided enough secondary sources to back it. Farhanansari1994 (talk) 10:54, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

I propose merging to Diagolon because they are two halves of the same coin. Diagalon grew from the Plaid Army and the two groups are barely distinguishable. On its own, Plaid Army's content is limited and would be sufficiently covered in a section of the Diagalon article. JesseL0vesT0ast (May the toast be with you.) (talk) 19:15, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

  Delete. Mass violence in eastern Congo is sorely underreported by Western media, but this might have been a false rumor, so at best it's unverified despite the immense sourcing. And the change in coverage isn't significant enough to warrant something like the Naiyrah false testimony or balloon boy hoax. Until something changes, the article should be deleted. FlantasyFlan (talk) 18:37, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

• Keep, reframing the article to emphasise that subsequence investigations suggest that this was a hoax. We'll otherwise no doubt have article re-creations from any of the 5 other language versions. The event is notable as a hoax, given the coverage. Klbrain (talk) 19:11, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

  We should keep an article about a hoax? No. All of this information should just be removed and any other page creations should just be deleted too. Militant.Insurgency (talk) 00:55, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

  We have plenty of articles about hoaxes or alleged hoaxes. See List of hoaxes for a subset. What determines notability is WP:SIGCOV from RS. Longhornsg (talk) 04:08, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

  That is a good point.. I would support keeping the article if all information on other pages (such as Kivu conflict and list of terrorist incidents in 2025 is removed) Militant.Insurgency (talk) 07:42, 16 August 2026 (UTC)

  It's worth noting that the attack drew numerous reactions including notable regional and international actors; some of these like MONUSCO note that the attack was unconfirmed while others don't. I would agree this article is worth keeping but it would need some further reframing to ensure no information about the "reported" attack may be interpreted as factual.

• Redirect to Allied Democratic Forces insurgency#2025. The mention of the "Kasanga massacre" also needs to be tweaked accordingly at that article. Yue🌙 (talk) 00:47, 21 August 2026 (UTC)
