January 2017 Azaz bombing

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Can easily be covered by Timeline of the Syrian Civil War (January%E2%80%93April 2017), violates WP:NOTNEWS and is quite lackluster in information. The Ninja5 Empire ( Talk ) 03:23, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep as clearly passes WP:GNG. WP:NOTNEWS doesn't apply here. Check death toll.  Greenbörg  (talk)  10:47, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep very notable event with large civilian death toll. If anything, article should be vastly improved. Beejsterb (talk) 23:06, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Wrong venue Merge requests should be promptly closed, so that AfD volunteers can focus on the problem of worthless articles.  Further, there is risk that merge nominations can result in delete !votes.  Unscintillating (talk) 22:20, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - BEFORE shows plenty of sources for this. Article should be expanded. Note that death toll is irrelevant. In some cases individual bombings may become routinish in a conflict and not garner coverage and notability (e.g. if there are a few events of this caliber every day in the conflict) - however this is not the case here as we do see coverage.Icewhiz (talk) 06:48, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep -- a mass casualty incident with large civilian death toll. Terrorist attacks of this scope are generally kept. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:18, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
