The result was delete‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__. The existence of multiple reliable sources does not mean that an article passes WP:NOTNEWS. Noone suggesting keep has provided any other argument of why WP:NOTNEWS should not apply in this case. Pax:Vobiscum (talk) 15:17, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep. It needs more sourcing and writing, but there are numerous sources talking about the attack. Jebiguess (talk) 13:18, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Weak keep Meets WP:GNG. WP:NOTNEWS is a concern, but I think it has enough lasting impact to warrant an article. QuicoleJR (talk) 23:06, 28 April 2023 (UTC)


 * , what would that lasting impact be? My sense at the moment is not notable enough, compared to all the other similar incidents we don't have articles on, but if there is genuine long-term impact that would warrant an article. BobFromBrockley (talk) 11:26, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Looking again, I have to say, it really isn't lasting or notable. Weak delete, but if lasting effect can be found, I will go back to voting keep. QuicoleJR (talk) 13:17, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep Weak Keep: Passes GNG, no need to pass SNG, sources in article from Al Jazeera, WaPo, BBC, Reuters.  // Timothy :: talk  01:56, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * WP:NOTNEWS is policy, not an SNG. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 07:04, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I was thinking NEVENT as the SNG, NOTNEWS points to ROUTINE for events, and I don't think coverage in Al Jazeera, WaPo, and BBC, indicates this is a routine event. LASTING I think is probably the best arg for deleting, every counter I can think of against LASTING is OTHERSTUFFEXISTS points. If a consensus to delete builds, I'd defer to delete.  // Timothy :: talk  07:27, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete does not have WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE to meet WP:EVENT. 06:52, 10 May 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by LibStar (talk • contribs)
 * Delete. Tragic, but not a notable event. WP:NOTNEWS applies. Stifle (talk) 08:26, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
