2017 Milan attack

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Wikipedia is not news, see WP:NOTNEWS. The event is non-notable, see Notability_(events) (lasting effects, depth and duration of coverage).

Furthermore, it is noted that the perpetrator was under the influence, and attacked the police officers only when asked for identity papers, so it wasn't even a premeditated attack. This appears to be a common crime, with no victims, and nobody was injured apart from the policeman and the two soldiers.

I don't want to show disrespect for the officers, but it appears to be already "yesterday's news". Simo94 / discuss 22:19, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Note Nom is mistaken, Individuals who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol are regularly convicted of terrorism.  Being dunk and being an ideologically-motivated terrorist are not mutually exclusive categories.   Being under the influence is not a defense for committing assault or attempted murder. Individuals who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol are regularly convicted of terrorism-related crimes.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:44, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete as WP:UNDUE and excessive coverage of a news story. This could be a paragraph in an article on "Islamic attacks in Europe", if that article could be written without bias. Having this be a stand-alone article is excessive. Power~enwiki (talk) 23:29, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Note "Police are now investigating whether Hosni, who had dual Tunisian and Italian citizenship, had links to terrorist organizations. Authorities cautioned that they were not prepared to classify the incident as terrorism, but said there were several videos devoted to "Islamic State" (IS) terrorist ideology posted to a Facebook account believed to belong to Hosni. The suspect is currently being held under attempted murder charges.".E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:51, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete or Merge per WP:LASTING and WP:GNG. Through a quick google search, I couldn't find a single mainstream media source such as CNN, Fox News, etc. mentioning this event at all. If the incident gains attention in the coming months, we could always recreate it. Kamalthebest (talk) 08:36, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
