Wikipedia is NOTNEWS. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:08, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes I conquer with your stance that Wikipedia is not news. But again news is the first rough draft of history and I believe that History belongs to Wikipedia. These blasts are not a usual thing and they are connected with the Operation Linda Nchi initiative. These blasts are are revenge mission by the militia as a result of being fought by the Kenyan defense forces in Somalia stephenWanjau   Talk to Me.   Email Me.  15:49, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - seems to cover wp:gng--BabbaQ (talk) 17:31, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Recent blasts in Nairobi have importance beyond being just news items. Also I think it's not a bad idea to lump them into one article, instead of creating separate article for each occasion. Julius Sahara (talk)
 * Yes all the blasts are expected to be covered in this one article, when I find some more time after a consensus is reached here I will continue working on expanding the article. I agree the tone of the article as it is, sounds like a news item and with a little wikification would warrant it Wikipedian;) Probably it is because the blasts are a current affair. stephenWanjau  Talk to Me.

 * Keep – relevant article about something that happens to be news, that doesn't mean it won't be relevant in the future. I agree that it's a good idea to keep these incidents in one article rather than create separate articles for all the incidents, as long as they are related.
