Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lions' Gate stabbings

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep per Wikipedia:Snowball clause. I have weighed the discussion rationale (overwhelmingly "keep"), concerns of possible inappropriate editor actions, and find there is ample evidence this article passes the criterion for early closure having internationally "sustained coverage" for inclusion.

• Keep. This is not run-of-the-mill news. It is part of a wider conflict. The assailant here is Muhanad Halabi and the motivation according to the nytimes is entirely political. "Mr. Halabi, a 19-year-old law student at Al Quds University, had been morose since the Sept. 22 death of his friend Dia Talahma, 21, who the Israeli military said died when a grenade he was throwing at troops in the occupied West Bank detonated too early. Mr. Halabi replaced his profile picture with one of Mr. Talahma."[1] Bus stop (talk) 17:15, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Clearly not a routine event, so NOTNEWS does not apply. Wide international coverage spurt at the event itself. Continuing WP:SUSTAINED coverage on a national level - [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] satisfying WP:NCRIME. Interesting question on how the bravery award from the Israeli police would rank in the Israeli award system (for WP:SOLDIER(1)) - as it seems to have a been a one-off award - in any event that would be relevant for a bio article.[14] I would retitle to HaGai Street stabbing as more accurate - this was not at the gate itself.Icewhiz (talk) 17:39, 11 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 articles from Category:Palestinian terrorism by one and the same editor, whose POV is well-known.

• Keep - Per wider context. per sources. wide international coverage. WP:GNG applies as well.BabbaQ (talk) 22:56, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep passes WP:NCRIME, WP:SIGCOV. Plus User:Debresser raises a valid point about the WP:DISRUPT appearance of an editor simultaneously nominating 4 (now 5) well-sourced, longstanding articles on articles in Category:Palestinian terrorism.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:12, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
