This article falls squarely under the following categories WP:ROUTINE, WP:NOTNEWS, and WP:CRIME, of which it fails to generate enough longstanding or individual notability, under WP:LASTING, or WP:NOTABLE. As a result this article should be deleted as nothing more than routine news coverage of police activity. Sport and politics (talk) 11:26, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect with selective merge to Terrorism in Australia, where it is already covered. I am not finding enough sources to support a stand-alone article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:37, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak keep or Redirect It could be argued that this event is notable as it received significant, non-routine coverage that persisted over time in multiple reliable sources with a national or global scope. But also agree it could also be merged into Terrorism in Australia where it has already been covered. Hughesdarren (talk) 13:10, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. The BBC called it "the biggest counter-terrorism operation in Australia's history". Easily passes WP:EVENT. WWGB (talk) 13:13, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - Case is already included in books, . The case got widespread national media coverage in 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 (see article for refs for e.a. year).  The main suspect is to be tried by the Supreme Court; the Supreme Court case starts November 2017.  Meets WP:SIGCOV.  XavierItzm (talk) 11:52, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Changing iVote due to WP:HEYMANN carried out by the indefatigable content creator User:XavierItzm.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:32, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per above and due to the fact that this is WP:POV and WP:Point and this user has consistently tried to push an agenda of eliminating coverage of terrorism. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia  ᐐT₳LKᐬ  04:41, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep as event has decent coverage which passes WP:NEVENTS. Greenbörg  (talk)  10:38, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
