2016 Tel Aviv shooting

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:NOTNEWS. Violence in Israel is constant, and this shooting doesn't look notable enough for their own Wikipedia article.  CatcherStorm    talk   18:38, 1 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep Violence in Tel Aviv is rare, as are Mass shootings in Israel. This wasn't just some single stabbing Rossbawse (talk) 18:40, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep for now - guidelines state we shouldn't rush to delete things just because they are news. We can re-evaluate in a few months and see if it really has any lasting notability. —Мандичка YO 😜 19:09, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Neutral I am certain that the suspected perepetrator is the perpetrator and that the motives are nationalist but there is still not an answer on that. I wouldn't create an article but since the article already exist, I guess if we won't get strict answers in a week or so (for example, the the suspect is not the perpetrator and now responsibility claim would take place) so we would have to delete the article. --Bolter21 (talk to me) 21:49, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment This is one of the most unusual attacks in recent history of Terrorism in Israel. Although there is not yet an official statement to say it is a terrorist attack, there are enough hits. I say that we should keep it not for a week but until we"ll have a clear answer. This might be the first ISIL afiliated attack in Israel and indeed a serious thing that occupies not only Israeli media but also international media. --Bolter21 (talk to me) 14:09, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep for now - Per . Parsley Man (talk) 06:38, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep, it is an important part of the ongoing violence in Israel! Dan Holsinger (talk) 13:00, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Salt this I agree that WP:NOTNEWS and WP:CRYSTALBALL mean that not every news every needs a page. On the other hand, I also think that we could wait a week or so to see what the repercussions of the news event in question are. So I would like all news items to be kept for a week before we start targeting them with Afd's. Either way, in a few days we'll know more. Debresser (talk) 15:47, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Agreed with the above, wait and see what unfolds. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 19:45, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep Mass shooting and multiday manhunt in major metropolitan center. Plot Spoiler (talk) 04:36, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - Concur with Rossbawse and Plot Spoiler. GabeIglesia (talk) 15:27, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a mass shooting, not just a regular attack. Additionally its gotten massive coverage and completely changed the landscape of Tel Aviv security during the manhunt. Its a major event, just just a basic terrorist attack. -  Galatz Talk  17:35, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep due to WP:GNG - intensity, depth, breadth, duration of coverage. WP:SNOWBALL.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:13, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
 * User:CatcherStorm, you might consider withdrawing this AFD in light of intensity/extent of coverage ; . Or perhaps another editor should close as keep since we have consensus and because the story had grown significantly but the article has not - probably at least in part because so many editors are reluctant to expand articles at AFD.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:04, 4 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep Major terror attack with wide local and international media coverage &#91;&#91;Haneelam&#93;&#93; (talk) 09:28, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep The attack itself isn't unique within the 100+ day wave of violence in any parameter: We had attacks with 2/3 dead, attacks in Tel-Aviv and attacks by Arab citizens of Israel. The unique aspect is the length of the manhunt (day 5 and counting) which has had a semi-paralyzing effect on the local community. DGtal (talk) 11:12, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
