Merging would be dysfunctional because the house is notable for three quite separate events, each of major significance.  1.) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar purchased this house for his mentor in Islam Hamaas Abdul Khaalis when he was very new to Islam - still called Lew Alcindor.) He gifted it to Khaalis for use as an Hanafi center.   Jabbar and his wife were married in this house. 2.) It was the scene of the 1973 Hanafi Muslim massacre - an attack on this sect by a faciton of the Nation of Islam, and it was the largest mass murder that had ever been committed in Washington, D.C.; 3.) It was Hanafi headquarters - and the place where an arsenal of weapons was stockpiled in preparation for  1977 Washington, D.C. attack and hostage taking, an attack by this Hanafi sect in which armed militants from this house took 149 hostages at the John A. Wilson Building|City Hall), B'nai B'rith headquarters, and the Islamic Center of Washington, holding them at gunpoint during a 39-hour standoff.  Two innocent people were killed in the attack during which members of the sect held press conferences by phone from inside the house and on the lawn. Khaalis' son-in-law Abdul Azziz stood on the lawn and told journalists that,  "Heads will be chopped off, a killing room will be set up at B'nai B'rith and heads will be thrown out of windows."  Article is heavily sourced to  in  that begins with the house's early owners and continued through 2017.  But because ownershop of and events that took place at this house form a significant aspect not only of the religious carer of a man who is arguably America's most notable convert to Islam, but also are  a significant part of two extremely notable crimes (events totally unrelated to Jabbar,)  it seems more useful to keep it as a stand-alone article
