Nairobi police station bombing

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

fails WP:EVENT. article created day after event. Almost all the coverage I found is from the same month of the event. Whilst 4 deaths is unfortunate, that in itself is not enough for notability LibStar (talk) 11:50, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - I think it may qualify per WP:EVENT because there was additional coverage after the fact. They arrested the owner of the car and he was aquitted six months later; there was extensive coverage.,  —Мандичка YO 😜 13:20, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep Coverage in the New York Times and the BBC establishes notability.  Winner 42  Talk to me!  17:12, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
 * that coverage is from the day of the event. Where is the WP:PERSISTENT coverage to establish long term notability? LibStar (talk) 05:08, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
 * The links that provided establish long term notability as they were from six months after the event. Winner 42  Talk to me!  16:23, 23 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep Significant media coverage in reliable sources such as the NYT is reason enough to keep it from deletion. SilverSurfingSerpant (talk) 00:24, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - As Wikimandia and Winner 42 said, additional coverage months later the event in reliable sources is enough to satisfy WP:EVENT. &mdash;  Yash! (Y) 01:08, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
