Incident reports in Syria
Warbattle, in the same way that Homs 27 February 2012 killings is being discussed for deletion, I believe your Infiltration attempt in Syria from Jordan (27-02-2012) falls in the same category: part of a larger notable conflict, but not notable as a standalone incident. Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Individual events such as this are useful in an encyclopedia only when put into context of the larger conflict of which they are a part.

Your comment about such an event being notable if it occurred in Norway but not in Syria is confusing. Has there been a border incursion between Norway and Sweden or any of its other neighbors that is reported in Wikipedia. If so, I'd have to see that article to evaluate its notability, but that is really immaterial. The existence of other poor articles on Wikipedia is not an excuse to keep this poor article.

 * I compared the second page I created with the following page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Norway_attacks . The number of civlians killed is roughly the same. --Warbattle (talk) 14:58, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The Norway attacks of which you speak were an isolated incident which caused a major international media reaction and resulted in long-term ripples in Norwegian society. The Syrian incidence which you have added are not isolated incidents, but rather episodes in the larger context of the Syrian uprising.  Reporting them as separate articles removes them from this larger context.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:19, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
