2017 Marseille melee attack

This is definitely not notable for inclusion on Wikipedia. Sure, there is coverage, but it is a minor incident involving an injured soldier. If we had articles for this kind of minor crime, we would be creating thousands every month. st 170  e  14:54, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
 * delete per nom, a minor incident very unlikely to be notable. If it becomes notable as it’s e.g. part of some wider incident then it can be covered as part of that. But as-is delete.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 15:44, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

 * delete Attacks like these happen nearly every day in Israel. I think the article on the attack in Paris on February 3 is also not suitable for wikipedia. Both attacks have little impact in society in comparisslon with the major incidents like the 2015 november paris attacks and the charlie hebdo shooting.. JBergsma1 (talk) 17:28, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Per WP:NOTNEWS. Also see WP:RECENTISM. AusLondonder (talk) 18:06, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTNEWS, and this is only a news story due to the Louvre attack happening hours earlier. The supplied reference supplies no evidence to show it is more than an ordinary assault, but it does tempt the reader to synthesize a relation. It is not for us to speculate on possible future notability. • Gene93k (talk) 20:14, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. There are no indications of any notability here. Nick-D (talk) 06:47, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with the WP:NOTNEWS classification, nothing notable about this crime. Kamalthebest (talk) 06:50, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Not a notable incident. "Some men beat up another man who happened to be a soldier" just doesn't make the cut for an encyclopaedia. If it were connected to the attack at the Louvre it might merit a mention in that article as a related incident, but there's no evidence that it was a related incident.
