2014 Tours stabbings

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable (WP:GNG, WP:EVENT) news event created by a user who is spamming Wikipedia with attacks by Muslims. Just about every mention of this attack post- the month it happened in is either a) just listing it in a long list of events or b) from another single-news-cycle story about a couple of people getting arrested. I wouldn't even bother merging this to a bigger article. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 05:30, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete: There was an increase in security in December 2014 because of a string of (never proven to be linked) attacks, but the impact of this specific one is not set to live long in collective memory. I swear this is a recreated article of a previous delete as well &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 14:22, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Your WP:CRYSTALBALL is broken. In fact, as article shows, this stabbing attack figured in the discussion that followed the Charlie Hebdo shooting and is part of the conversation around this week's November 2015 Paris attacks.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:19, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Note Nom's specious assertion that this attack would not be worth mentioning in a larger article. In fact, this attack has long been part of the articles: January 2015 Île-de-France attacks,  List of terrorist incidents in France, 2014 Dijon attack, and 2014 Nantes attack  to which I was able to add proper links,  eg.: .E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:53, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * KEEP Article on a terrorist attack. Articles on terrorist attacks, hate crimes, and widely covered stabbing or shooting rampages are so normative on Wikipedia that nom ought to have an extraordinary justification for taking up the valuable time of editors by bringing such an article to AFD.  The article is well sourced and passes WP:GNG.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:57, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. This event, which had happened in December 2014, has a long-lasting effect. For example, it has been noted in the timeline of "Terror attacks in France" in this source dated November 2015. My very best wishes (talk) 16:20, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep - perWP:GNG and CRIME.--BabbaQ (talk) 23:12, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per everyone else. Also, attacking the credibility of the user who created this article implies much about your opinion about this. 75.80.175.107 (talk) 23:33, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per WP:GNG and WP:CRIME. These events are clearly notable due to the number of news stories and coverage surrounding them, and they definitely made significant cultural impact. Covered by many secondary reliable sources. It doesn't matter who created the article; it has no merit whatsoever on the deletion of it per the WP:AFD process - it's the subject and the content that matters. The user who wrote it is completely irrelevant.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   23:37, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:GNG and WP:CRIME. --Article editor (talk) 16:58, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep as I saw this referanced in the news just yesterday Legacypac (talk) 08:39, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
