Wikipedia is not a newspaper, not every minor event deserves its own article, even if it's about a notable topic as long as it isn't notable in it self. The text should be moved to Timeline of the 2011–2012 Bahraini uprising (from January 2012), April 12 section.  Mohamed CJ  (talk)  10:45, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Not notable?

Did you read this section?

'''==Significance== Although no one was injured in the attack, it is one of the few to occur in Manama. After the 2011 PSF intervention in Bahrain and the protesters were evacuated from the Pearl Roundabout, opposition actions in the capital were considered to be rare and highly regarded.''' — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ilikecod (talk • contribs) 16:57, 9 June 2012 (UTC)


 * First of all, that section is not sourced. Second, I don't see how a gas cylinder explosion which only caused slight damage to three cars can be notable. Are there any reactions to it? Did something developed after this happened? There were many protests which occurred in Manama after PSF intervention, some receiving much more media attention such as those organised by Nabeel Rajab, does this mean everyone of them deserves a lone standing article? If the incident is notable, I'd expect to see it covered in more than just one reliable source (i.e. not forums or dead Facebook pages).


 * In summary, if it is notable as you say, provide reliable sources supporting your claim and prove its significance.  Mohamed CJ  (talk)  17:40, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

 * This seems like an adequate solution. Any objections to a non-admin closure here? --BDD (talk) 23:47, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
