The result was Procedural close. Bad faith nomination. Gregory opened this AfD because the merge proposal has support. He also did not provide a deletion rationale. (non-admin closure) TheGracefulSlick (talk) 16:31, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Article on this June 6, 2017 attack was kept at AfD in June. A discussion was subsequently opened on the talk page proposing that it be merged to List of terrorist incidents in France. I am bringing it to AfD to draw more eyes to the discussion. A merge will necessarily lose almost all of the well-sourced detail now in the article, in my opinion, the detail about the perpetrator is especially is notable and useful to our readers.

Keep Article passes WP:NCRIME as per WP:EVENTCRITERIA. Although WP:LASTING cannot be absolutely determined by a recent event, this is one of a series of terrorist attacks in France that, cumulatively have led to the continuation of the extraordinary security measures (the street of Paris patrolled by soldiers) under Opération Sentinelle. The incident has met WP:GEOSCOPE and WP:DIVERSE with original WP:INDEPTH reporting (not mere echoing of wire service stories) in international WP:RS media. And there is WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE, even though perpetrator has not yet come to trial. Article is well-written and well sourced. Moreover, merging, as has been suggested, will cause the loss of encyclopedia material. E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:50, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
