Gujba college massacre

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is added only for ITN, and there is no encyclopaedic content here other than 1 line which could be add to the List of terrorist incidents, July-December 2013. Every single incident doesnt warrant its own page when there is a page for minor ones. Individual notability is questioned, attacks in northern Nigeria are far too common. Not to mention the title is POV, 1 mionor source is only calling it as suchLihaas (talk) 14:46, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Keep and Expand - This article is clearly part of a wider ongoing conflict and an investigation in to the attack is being undertaken. The attack made attention world wide so is clearly noteworthy in that sense. It It also forms part of the history of an ongoing major conflict/insurgency so that is noteworthy. The investigation will also be noteworthy when it is released. This is more than a news story this is an historical event which is part of a wider conflict and series of Terrorist attacks. Sources for the article being noteworthy are here and here Sport and politics (talk) 14:59, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Just because it is mentioned in RS doesnt mean its automatically notable. The sources you cite are not global outlets and teh UN condemns incidetns all the times, that doesnt make them all notablke. For example, at the UNGA Debate right now no one have mentioned this while mentioning kenya, pakistan, etc.
 * What legacy does this offeR?Lihaas (talk) 15:45, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Keep - This is a major terrorist attack with dozens of casualties, of course it deserves it's own article. I think if this event had happened in a Western country there would be no question of it deserving its own article, just because it happened in Africa and is part of a larger conflict doesn't make it less relevant. --Hibernian (talk) 15:27, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Location is irrelevant. If it was notable it would have more coverage. No one has made an atttempt to add anything and its days old nowLihaas (talk) 15:45, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Keep and Expand - This article clearly covers a notable incident, additional sources and information should be added but it is ridiculous to delete it 140.193.203.66 (talk) 16:09, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Per duh. Ryan Vesey 16:23, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep per WP:POINT (note: for the record, I have since expanded the update a few sentences, probably making this AFD moot anyway). Lihaas may have a point that sometimes news gets rushed to ITN without a proper update, but this is not the way to start that discussion. Teemu08 (talk) 16:28, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
