Merger proposal[edit]

After creating this page and looking to link in all three victim names, I found that Sjaak Rijke was already created. While it's not marked as a stub , it is still a short article, and as a WP:BLP, I feel that merging it into Timbuktu three as per WP:BLP1E it will not give undue weight to a low-profile individual but improve the Timbuktu three page. _Gremlin ^SA 08:46, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I support the merger proposal. Libertybison (talk) 20:36, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Title[edit]

I propose to move this article to 2011 Timbuktu kidnapping, because it better reflects the content. – Editør (talk) 13:24, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agree sounds much better.. _Gremlin ^SA 18:31, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
