2019 Paris explosion

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article was swiftly created hours after the incident was reported, possibly due to the tensions in the Paris area, so one might argue that it was reasonable to think that it might have been related to the Yellow Vests movement. But since we now know that it is very likely that the explosion was caused by a gas leak, and since there's nothing about the incident that could cause notable lasting effects, I don't think it deserves article status at this time. lovkal (talk) 12:13, 16 January 2019 (UTC).
 * Keep - More information may come overtime. Also has plenty sources and could be expanded. Foxnpichu (talk) 13:11, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - This explosion killed four people & injured many others. It also caused a great deal of damage and disruption. Despite it apparently being an accident, it's likely that health & safety rules, laws, inspections will be improved as a result. Jim Michael (talk) 15:01, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep in line with other Gas explosion's with their own page and ones from 10 years ago still hold water. A quick search convinced me that we might expect legal and social repercussions from such an event. For me its notability is in the context of terror attack fears, but the page rightly? does not go into that. (Dushan Jugum (talk) 05:46, 23 January 2019 (UTC)).
 * Weak Keep I think mentioned some good points here and the lack of quoting any wiki-policy in the nomination is not helping. As new evidence comes to light and new citations are added that builds WP:GNG. The gas explosion was pretty well cover by UK media and I am sure this will create a domino effect towards other issues, outcomes. Govvy (talk) 12:03, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Very important discussion. User:Lucifero4
 * Keep it is notable enough, and additional information should come up in the future.  A¥×aᚢ ⚔  Zaÿïþzaþ€  20:56, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
