WP:NOTNEWS. Am open to suitable redirect/merge proposals, but otherwise this seems pretty small beer in the context of the current war. TheLongTone (talk) 15:45, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this proposal is fundamentally flawed and reflects a lack of understanding. Your last sentence, and I quote — "but otherwise this seems pretty small beer in the context of the current war" — reveals a serious misunderstanding of the situation in Israel. The terror attack has no direct connection to Israel's war in Gaza. Attacks like the one that occurred today have been happening in Israel long before the current conflict began. In fact, this is a long-standing modus operandi among certain Arab groups that has persisted for years. Rafi Chazon (talk) 19:22, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Israel is also conducting a war in other parts of Palestine. So this is an incident in the current war.TheLongTone (talk) 15:47, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of these kinds of terror attacks on Israeli soil are not part of the war proper. Israel is a country that tends to retrospect on such things, so more of their terror attacks end up being notable per our standards. But this does not seem an especially prominent one. Happened yesterday so kind of difficult to tell what will happen with the coverage (not a good idea to make pages this soon on this kind of thing).

Delete, but not because it is overshadowed by the war but because I doubt this will fulfill NEVENT. If a merge target is suggested I would likely support that. If this proves notable in the future I would support undeletion. PARAKANYAA (talk) 23:07, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, I don't understand the rationale behind this nomination, it is a notable terrorist attack which has RS discussing it. Just because it tragically happens often, and the same country it happens in is also fighting a war, it makes this less important somehow? If this would happen in London or New York you wouldn't question its notability. Maybe you should delete Donald Trump, it seems pretty beer in the context of American politics.

We should have a consensus for this sort of article. It's not the first time it's happened. Yeshivish613 (talk) 23:46, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Instead of outright deletion, it can at least get a mention in List of vehicle-ramming attacks. Though to Yeshivish's point about setting precedent, maybe it would make sense to create an article with a paragraph or so about each of the somewhat notable vehicle ramming attacks in Israel? --Bob drobbs (talk) 01:50, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:News article for an event that is not the subject of sustained secondary coverage. Not opposed to a merge of some sort, though I don't know about the vehicle-ramming target since the fatality was from gunfire. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 03:36, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
