 * Keep as clearly passes WP:GNG. WP:NOTNEWS doesn't apply here. Check death toll.  Greenbörg  (talk)  10:46, 13 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) 22:19, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep -- a mass casualty incident; terrorist attacks of this scope are generally kept. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:40, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - passes GNG based on sourcing. Article should be expanded.Icewhiz (talk) 06:45, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep and note that the solution to Nom's assertion that page is "is quite lackluster in information" is to expand and source the page.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:39, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - The mass casualties alone have a substantial impact on a wide region. I agree the article is rather lacking but AFD is not used as a cleanup.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 01:17, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
