 * Keep or Merge - Notable for being the first time that private security guards opened fire on and killed Somali pirates, se particularly the following sources 1 2 3 4 5 6. Notably the coverage extended for months/years after the event showing WP:LASTING effects. Doubts have also been raised about what the Almezaan was actually doing off Somalia (some suggests that they had previously been running guns into the country). Could also do a merge to MV Almezaan as an ATD. FOARP (talk) 10:43, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm not opposed to a merge. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  10:54, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems notable to me, and adequately sourced. It looks to me like it would be difficult to merge with the article on the ship, which briefly describes three pirate attacks including this one. This article contains much more information on only one of the attacks. So I say just keep it. Ficaia (talk) 17:10, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge. Delete the redirect, as it is too ambiguous. I'm sure that I could find another "action" on that same day somewhere, then we'd be in a pickle, eh? Mako001 (C) (T)  11:09, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
