List of terrorist incidents in Europe

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

It pains me to nominate such a nice lists, but WP:OR concerns are significant. I came here through this list appearance on Poland-related new articles feed; the one listing for Poland is not described as terrorism in the source article, as far as I can tell this incident is so unnnotable it doesn't have a pl wiki entry and I cannot google much about it. It inclusion casts major doubts on the rest of the incidents there; sure, we have a few major ones (UK, Spain) but they are sprinkled on top of many dubious entries. For the record, Polish government states clearly that "Poland is not a country threatened by immediate terrorism". Pl wiki has category for terrorist incidents in Poland (pl:Kategoria:Zamachy terrorystyczne w Polsce), but they date to WWII and earlier; nothing more recent (which also casts some doubts on the definition of terrorism...). All in all, I think this list needs some serious discussion regarding OR. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 20:48, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Proposer raises a concern about one entry in a long list. I had a look at some entries, and the vast majority looked fine. Of course there are debates about whether certain instances count as terrorism, but there's nothing here that can't be fixed by talk-page debate and editing. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:28, 18 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep The proposer's reason for deletion is nonsensical. If there is a problem with one entry, then edit it or go to the talk page. I see no reason to delete. Dingo1729 (talk) 15:47, 18 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep The incident is cited by the University of Maryland Global Terrorism Database for a start. And proposing the deletion of an article, with hundreds of sources, over one dubious entry is laughable. --Tyrionasaurus (talk) 04:31, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
