 * Keep & Expand article seems highly notable and needs expansion, not deletion. Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 18:08, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
 * On second look perhaps 2016 Allama Iqbal Town blast should be merged with this article or vise versa Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 18:10, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

These are all similar incidents in the same geographic location, with similar death tolls. These types of terror attacks are notable as having an impact on the Pakistani political situation. -- Callinus (talk) 18:12, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep The article is now currently the only non-redirect page being used for it. If necessary it can be renamed or merged. It is now utterly pointless and indeed un-encyclopaedic to discuss this here. I urge to withdraw this proposal and encourage a discussion to be held in the talk pages. The situation is an unfortunate mess, lets not make it worse. Mr rnddude (talk) 18:08, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep death toll of 65, previous history of suicide bombings and terror attacks (with lower death tolls) in Lahore being notable, including:
 * Lahore church bombings
 * 2009 attack on the Sri Lanka national cricket team
 * October 2009 Lahore attacks
 * December 2009 Lahore attacks
 * 2009 Lahore bombing


 * This article is written on the topic that already exist as 2016 Allama Iqbal Town blast. Both are same and 2016 Allama Iqbal Town blast was created before this one. This article should be deleted or moved to 2016 Allama Iqbal Town blast. UNDERSTAND THE REASON FOR DELETION.-- Musa  Talk  18:14, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
 * One was redirecting to the other, you undid so. This is not place to discuss. Redirect/Merge sufficient. Kindly withdraw report. Spirit Ethanol (talk) 18:15, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
 * if you want to use a merge tag then do so. The WP:AFD article clearly says "For a potentially controversial merger, consider listing it at proposed mergers" - This is not what the AfD process is for. -- Callinus (talk) 18:17, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Time of creation is irrelevant, I understand the reason from deletion but its not valid. The fact of the matter is that because of the nature of the situation we need to develop a consensus before deleting anything. Two other articles created before yours have also been forcibly merged into the current one. This was against consensus and in fact without consultation. I would recommend that we all stop doing anything. Go to the talk page, talk, achieve consensus then start moving. Mr rnddude (talk) 18:19, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

 * I did this but my edit was reverted every time. says I'm edit warring. But I didn't I warned the user. The user who reverted my edit was edit warring. I requested for speedy deletion which states the an article on other topic already exist.--  Musa  Talk  18:21, 27 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I am aware of this, also stop separating sections in a deletion thread please it causes confusion, the issue is that we should not be attempting to delete any page until consensus is achieved. Merging pages doesn't delete them. If consensus decides on one page then we can easily revert the change and keep whichever on is decided upon. I am at 1 revert, you and spirit ethanol are at 3? if I am not mistaken. Neither of you should do any reverts, nor should anyone else before we achieve consensus. Please discuss these changes in the talk page. Mr rnddude (talk) 18:28, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
