El Salini attack

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

PROD by another user contested, an attack that caused 12 deaths seems to be a somewhat routine event (as awful as that sounds) in a war where 1.4 million have been displaced and thousands killed. wikipedia is not news, and what coverage this attack got was limited to news stories like Reuters and Al Jazeera. It seems unlikely this event will have a lasting effect or that it meets WP:GNG. Eddie891 Talk Work 19:21, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete one source does not make an event notable. This is part of a very large and very long war in Somalia. Nothing suggests it is a notable event within that war.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:49, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment A merge/mention to some relevant article should still be possible despite the event being relatively minor. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 02:02, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
 * , I would have redirected/merged to 2020 timeline of the War in Somalia, but that article doesn't exist. I wouldn't be incredibly opposed to adding a sentence and redirecting to Somali Civil War (2009–present), but personally I feel this isn't significant to merit a mention at the main article, which is already at 153k bytes and 48kb of prose.

 * Delete I already PRODed this as I couldn’t see how it was notable. I think WP:NOTNEWS applies. Mccapra (talk) 22:33, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
