The result was   delete. Consensus is that it's WP:OR to report these as reactions to the Paris shooting, and if they are found to be they should in the first instance be covered in the article about that.  Sandstein  11:31, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

2015 Europe mosque attacks

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article based in WP:OR, connecting different events in a way that results in synthesis. Doesn't meet WP:EVENT criteria. RGloucester — ☎ 22:07, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - these should be part of the Charlie Hebdo shooting article, as Aftermath or something - definitely not standalone, and as it's so short and IMO an unlikely search title, deletion is the best option here. ansh666 22:23, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. These attacks are two separate things and should not be lumped together in one article. There are the arsons (described by the BBC here). The second event was the reaction to the Charlie Hebdo shooting, and that info can be put in the article on the shooting itself. -- Calidum  23:18, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete: Amateurish propaganda fueled by media wishcasting. (Any usable material here belongs in Charlie_Hebdo_shooting.) Pax 02:12, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete Not notable for an article by itself, should be merged into reactions to the Charlie_Hebdo_shooting ensuring appropriate weight is given. CaptRik (talk) 13:25, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. If all the Charlie Hebdo stuff were being centralized in one article, I'd probably support a merge, but as it seems to be spawning a bunch of narrow sub-articles and the sources are well present, an article on Islamophobic reprisal seems warranted, including but not limited to these attacks. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 19:33, 12 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Looks to be a bit much recentism and not very well written. It can probably be expanded to a full article as well as include other forms of islamophobic attacks triggered by the shooting. For now I would recommend merging into the main article, expand there and later on spin out to it's own article. // Liftarn (talk) 11:24, 13 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete: Grouping of unrelated phenomena (the Swedish ones started in December 2014). I have removed some completely unrelated incidents from the page. Article seems to be driven by persecution complex, these disparate and uninvestigated incidents are grossly not notable in comparison to 3 million marching for unity. &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 11:58, 13 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Any which are related to the Charlie Hebdo shooting can be mentioned there, but merging would require that there be something of substance in this article to be worth merging. This article only says the events happened, and the shooting article already says that. Egsan Bacon (talk) 15:56, 13 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep: So just because these events were not given enough attention by media, that doesn't mean they never happened. 3 Million is just a number, sir! freedom of expression is a right just as much as life safety and freedom of religion (Many people would have been killed inside those mosques) — Preceding unsigned comment added by At oussama (talk • contribs) 15:59, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
 * These are uninvestigated incidents, nobody knows if there was malicious causes. I assume bad faith as the original creator added incidents in Sweden which happened last year, and tried to lump them in. &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 06:18, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
