The result was keep. Nomination withdrawn. (non-admin closure) TheGracefulSlick (talk) 16:04, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep and note - I intend to write an article about the person behind this attack and another one in 1998. The reason to keep was partially based on this persons actions as a whole, not just this event. While that is an incorrect way to establish notability here, I do not feel like arguing if that is tolerated. I will propose a merger in the future since I still feel the person may be notable but not this single event.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 16:04, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

This was not an incident that received long-term coverage. It has not had writings from reliable sources following the initial news coverage nor any enduring encyclopedic value. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 15:32, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep and improve article. This dude, with affinities to both anarchist and Islamist movements, is mentally disturbed, although not sufficiently disturbed to persuade judges to exculpate him. nevertheless, he has helped shoot up Paris twice, in 2013 and as  part of the Rey-Maupin affair (better article at Affaire Rey-Maupin); the French sentenced to 4 yrs in prison for that.  But they let him out of prison early, and in 2013 he walked into a newspaper office and shot a photographer. Keep.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:00, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
 * then wouldn't it make sense to write an article about the person. We aren't discussing his notability here.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 12:40, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Interesting. Perhaps you could source a biography. I do think, however, that when a paroled convict with anarchist and Islamist ideas obtains a shotgun (not easy to do in France) and carries it into 3 major Paris institutions, shooting up 2 of them before hijacking a car and fleeing to London - and gets this much news coverage - it justifies a stand-alone article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:50, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
