 * Delete Fails to demonstrate or make any claim that it will have any lasting significance, it therefore fails the inclusion policy. It received news coverage because it was a news story.  LGA talk  edits   20:57, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

 * keep - passes notability threshold, since it is widely mentioned in media one month later (not just a news event). See (quote from 15 August NYT "Aware of the threat, Hezbollah had stepped up security in the area, residents said, after the bombing last month, in the nearby neighborhood of Bir al-Abed, which wounded more than 50 people.").Greyshark09 (talk) 15:16, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Merge to an article on recent violence and looming civil war in Lebanon. Broader subject is certainly notable and related to Syrian civil war. Candleabracadabra (talk) 01:22, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
