396:. As I understand it, omnicide is the deliberate killing of the human race by humans, while human extinction is any scenario that leads to the wiping out of the species. So, omnicide should certainly be mentioned/discussed in the human extinction article, but they are different concepts. Merge and redirect is not a bad solution. However, human extinction is getting to be a pretty long article and the normal practice is to break out individual notable elements if an article starts to get too long. Based on the references provided, it seems (at least to me) that omnicide is a sufficiently notable concept to justify a separate article with room for expansion.--
251:: The concept is relevant in social sciences, where there is some literature around it, and ideally it deserves its own page. It is more of a sociology stub than a linguistics stub. But since I am not personally conversant in that literature and so not able to do the work, I will concede if the editors wish to remove it to the human extinction page for the time being.
195:: The word is in general use, albiet rare, and dates back at least to 1959; see the Oxford English Dictionary. Definitely not an advert for the book, sorry if it seemed that way. Relevant in the context of genocide studies. I can improve this page in a few days.

Christopher Powell for his work on the article. My understanding is that the term is distinct from the broader "human extinction". It is also notable (per the multiple sources), so I think a separate article is

My hesitance about a merge between the two is that "omnicide", unlike "human extinction", is a rather specialised term. Although the two are essentially synonymous, omnicide should not be presented as a (or the) commonly-accepted term. --
263:: Ok, I have made some edits and the page is now a bit more substantial, so I would like to advocate for its retention. 'Omnicide' is an obscure concept, but that's not unusual for encyclopedia entries.
207:: I've improved the page slightly by adding more citations to use and two category links. It is still a stub and needs expansion, but I hope it's now evident by that this is not a one-of neologism?
319:: seems to be well-written, but is there a need for more than one article on the same subject? One possible resolution might be to merge the articles by replacing the first section of the
