2018 Chabahar suicide bombing

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Low number of casualties by the standards on the region. Half the references are from Iranian state media "journalists" Openlydialectic (talk) 14:42, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:RAPID. Low number of casulties is not a criteria, and the regime target here may be significant for lasting coverage. At this point we have wide international coverage and the sole notability question going forward is whether it will be SUSTAINED - which we can not determine at this point, therefore we should err on the side of keeping the article per RAPID.Icewhiz (talk) 15:01, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep: It's one of the most weird AFDs I've ever seen, grounded on "Low number of casualties" and usage of Iranian sources instead of considering deletion policies. Anyway, there are plenty of reliable sources dealing with this subject. -- M h hossein   talk 16:37, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
