WP:NOTNEWS - no lasting impact and no significant coverage in reliable sources outside of the immediate news reports on the attack and trial Nableezy 22:11, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Perhaps nominator missed Aftermath section. This was brought up at UN Security Council. There was talk of changing laws. A cursory and quick Google search will show articles a year later still discussing changing laws as a result of this heinous crime.

• Speedy keep This subject meets WP:GNG and was widely reported both nationally and (to a lesser degree) internationally, with dozens of news stories already cited in the article. See also WP:NEVENT:

That criterion has been satisfied here. Catrìona (talk) 04:50, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Apart from the arguments provided by my predecessors, who and which I agree with, I am a little worried about the nomination for deletion on 4 5 articles from Category:Palestinian terrorism by one and the same editor, whose POV is well-known.

• Comment - the GNG is not Wikipedia policy. WP:NOTNEWS is. There has been no sustained, significant coverage outside of the immediate news sources on the attack and the arrest and trial of the person charged with it. Arguments about notability miss entirely that policy trumps guideline. nableezy - 10:00, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  Wrong reading of NOTNEWS - this is not routine news reporting. The assertion on sources is false - and clearly false even in a cursory BEFORE. I added several sources sources not from the initial burst or the non-routine trial. This has impacted legislation. E.g. [1], [2], [3]. One is expected to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating.Icewhiz (talk) 12:29, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep plenty of reliable sources to satisfy GNG for the event.--1l2l3k (talk) 15:29, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
