 * Keep A suicide bombing that killed 28+ and is noted in the BBC and the "New York Times" is Definitely Notable and hands down meets WP:NOTNEWS.--Jeffrd10 (talk) 15:34, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete All sources I found were from June 2013. Sad but ultimately insignificant.  Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 15:54, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep article needs expansion not deletion. is within notability.--BabbaQ (talk) 00:07, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Per statements above. --Regards, MrScorch6200 (talk · contribs)  01:21, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Theres not to expand, its to find coverage that prooves last effect. Sadly not true. Beerest 2 talk 02:22, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge with Shergarh, Mardan. In theory, for a tragedy like this the correct action would be to expand but the event seems sadly underreported. Due to a lack of coverage, I would suggest merging this to the article for the location where it took place. MezzoMezzo (talk) 07:57, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Articles for deletion/Log/2014 February 20.  — cyberbot I  Notify Online 06:17, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Terrorist attack with 28 fatalities. Notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:33, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge This incident is also mentioned on the page Terrorist incidents in Pakistan in 2013. The page for the incident itself should be deleted I think, but the information on the Terrorist Incidents in Pakistan in 2013 regarding this bombing should be expanded and hold more information.

 * Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. Stifle (talk) 15:10, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Stifle I disagree per WP:EVENT. While suicide bombings do happen often in Pakistan, this is one of the largest death tolls sustained in one in the year of 2013 (see Terrorist incidents in Pakistan in 2013 ). Because it is one of the larger attacks, it either should be kept, or giving a larger section on the other page. Adamh4 (talk) 22:33, 27 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
