2014 Shama Cinema bombing

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Per NOTNEWS and notable for its standalone article. Instead it can go at List of terrorist incidents, 2014 Lihaas (talk) 18:57, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, definitely fails WP:NOTNEWS and it doesn't need it's own article. Aerospeed (Talk) 19:13, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment. Another article about this incident exists at 2014 Peshawar cinema bombings. • Gene93k (talk) 19:25, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article already exist and was already written as joint. The sources were quite low for the fist attack so I merged them into one (considering that they all taken in the same place and used the same tactic and target).--Mishae (talk) 20:53, 12 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Speedy merge and close this discussion. As long as this discussion is ongoing, we cannot change the article to a redirect. If you feel 2014 Peshawar cinema bombings should be merged, the correct target would be Terrorist incidents in Pakistan in 2014 where more detail could be given then at List of terrorist incidents, 2014, where incidents are already listed. See WP:MERGE for the correct procedure. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 21:12, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I think you miss understood what I said . The article was already merged by me. We should redirect 2014 Shama Cinema bombing to 2014 Peshawar cinema bombings, since that will be a correct merge. I'm sorry if I sounded confusing. The 2014 Peshawar cinema bombings, in my opinion, is a stub article that is closer to a start and will be one when more developments become available (such as arrests and aftermath). So, no, I don't think that consensus will be in favour of merging the 2014 Peshawar cinema bombings article, but probably wont mind to do it with the currently discussed one.--Mishae (talk) 03:37, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
 * You mis-understand me. I am assuming the people who think this article needs deleting might feel that 2014 Peshawar cinema bombings also lacks notability and fails WP:NOTNEWS, although I do not particularly. My main point is that now that we have started a delete discussion for this article, we cannot do anything for a week to give everyone time to discuss it. The nominator and others who have voted should change their votes to Speedy Merge and we can just close it. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 09:34, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I already moved the refs from 2014 Shama Cinema bombing to 2014 Peshawar cinema bombings so it shouldn't be an issue.--Mishae (talk) 15:35, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Propose redirect Now, since you brought this argument to the table I will change my stance as well. However, I will propose redirecting 2014 Shama Cinema bombing to 2014 Peshawar cinema bombings rather then to the list of Terrorist attacks in 2014, let alone in a specific country (Pakistan in this case).


 * Comment People who want to remove anything per WP:NOTNEWS are forgetting that every event that happens now (that is war related) will be an encyclopedic material now or later. For example, Iraq War was mostly news too, and still have refs from various news sources. Doesn't make it biased, does it? If people here don't believe me because its old, then lets look at modern events. That article too was a part of Wikinews, but then was promoted to an encyclopedic article.--Mishae (talk) 15:35, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment, the difference is that the Iraq War was a extremely notable event, and was a series of ongoing events that had widespread effect across the whole world, as the article will state. These bombings, however, are an isolated event, and as the nominator said, it could be filed under terrorist incidents in 2014. Aerospeed (Talk) 21:38, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, I have no objection to the 2014 Shama Cinema bombing nomination for deletion and if someone wants to merge it, feel free to do it too. Either way its good. However, such articles like 2014 Peshawar cinema bombings is actually quite good article on its own. Your opinion? Either way, its time to close this discussion by either merging or deleting the above article and live 2014 Peshawar cinema bombings as it is. Because 2014 Peshawar cinema bombings are part of War in North-West Pakistan.--Mishae (talk) 22:06, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
