*'''Keep''' as per usual. by this I mean that it has become normal to '''keep''' articles about terrorist attacks because they generate substantive international coverage, as is the case here.( cf. [[2017 Paris machete attack]], [[2016 stabbing of Brussels police officers]], etc.) Nom gives a [[WP:CRYSTAL]] argument for deletion, but, '''Note''' that in fact terrorist attacks tend to be revisited and referenced going forward, in this case, it is likely to be part of the growing attention being paid to [[suicide by cop|suicide by soldier]], in which, as Shin Bet is suggesting here, an already suicidal perp commits a terrorist attack in order to achieve a socially approved, even lauded, death. '''Note''' also, as I have argued before at AFD, that it is far easier to create articles on these incidents soon after they occur - and sources are available without access to paywalled archives - rather than to hope that someone goes back years later to create an article when an incident like the [[1980 Antwerp summer camp attack]] or the [[1996 Paris Métro bombing]] comes back into the news.[[User:E.M.Gregory|E.M.Gregory]] ([[User talk:E.M.Gregory|talk]]) 22:09, 14 April 2017 (UTC) |

Article about a recent stabbing. No indication that it will receive WP:SUSTAINED coverage or have any enduring encyclopedic value. Likely fails WP:EVENT, WP:GEOSCOPE, and WP:PERSISTENCE.- MrX 20:51, 14 April 2017 (UTC) - MrX 20:51, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

- keep this is a terror attack receiving significant coverage in international media- bbc nyt, reutets, cnn, etc etc. Also local. Seeing the 2017 st petersburg metro bombing has an entry, there is reason to treat this terror event differently. The article itself is well sourced and well written. Probably both the article and the afd should've waited a few days.Icewhiz (talk) 21:01, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
- Note, as I said on the article's talk page, that many editors who work on Israel-related articles on are observing the Passover holiday, which continues through Wednesday, and are not editing at present. As are many Israeli journalists. I suggested there that we should wait to hold this discussion until the country returns from holiday.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:11, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
