19 June 1985 Zona Rosa attacks

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article has been tagged for cleanup since 2005, and shows no signs of improvement since. It has a mere 8 Google hits when Wikipedia is removed from the search terms (see here), and only 246 when Wikipedia is included (see here). I doubt that notability can be effectively established in only 8 Google hits, and I really doubt that Wikipedia needs to document every single minor terrorist incident that occurs. &spades;P M C&spades; 21:02, 30 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge or keep - I beg to differ. I do think notability is too light for its own article and it should be merged into Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front.  However, while notability is light it is not non-existent - as well as the dept of justice report in the article I found a number of sources on the web:
 * 1) the United states institute of peace Truth commission report on the incident in From Madness to Hope: The 12-Year War in El Salvador.
 * 2) The Washington post article  of June 19th 1985.
 * 3) An article from the Journal of Interamerican Studies and World Affairs by Enrique A. Baloyra 'Negotiating War in el Salvador: The Politics of Endgame ' -- Cailil   talk 22:28, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete or Merge as I fail to see much historic notability Corpx 00:10, 31 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep and expand or merge. Appears to be notable (Multiple deaths, political fallout, non-trivial coverage). Google test is not good at establishing the relative historical importance of events other Paris hilton would need 10,000 + articles. If this had happened in the US would we even be discussing it ?

 * Keep, main argument is lack of Google hits, but Google is a very poor source for many things that happened more then 10 years ago. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 07:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
