2021 Konya massacre

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article is about a news event, a simple dispute (the kind that unfortunately happen with regularity around the globe), that turned violent, and then headlined by some as a "Massacre". Wikipedia is not the news. GenQuest "scribble" 11:48, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep - article sources are good. Search gave plenty of hits. For now this is within WP:GNG.BabbaQ (talk) 14:18, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
 * GNG is not the only bar an article must cross at AfD. There is no doubt this event happened, and that it has gotten a lot of recent local publicity.  It's just too common an event for an encyclopedia article.  Wikipedia is not about EVERYTHING.  See also RECENTISM.  GenQuest  "scribble" 15:03, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - it is a septuple murder by a single person and it has an ethnic twist. Even if it does not have an ethnic motif, the case likely will have, as is a portrayed to have an ethnic motif by several pro-Kurdish parties (the largest being the HDP) and other media while the Turkish Government represented by the Interior Minister until now denies so. It has many sources already and will receive much more coverage in the future.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 15:51, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. This obviously has WP:LASTING repercussions due to the alleged ethnic targeting. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:24, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep A septuple murder with a possible ethnic motive is clearly lasting, and notability is not in doubt.Jackattack1597 (talk) 11:34, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
