What makes this event more notable that the dozens and dozens of other un-article'd events on List of suicide bombings in Iraq since 2003? SGGH ping! 16:39, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
I'll jump in here then: I don't see any particular notability of this event. It's just one bombing in Iraq of many, and not even an exceptionally deadly one. The title is especially confusing as well; many Baghdad police recruitment centers have been bombed. This should be at least renamed to add a 2009 in there somewhere. And even worse, I just realized, the Wikipedia article and the Wikinews articles are extremely similar. I don't see why this shouldn't be merged with List of suicide bombings in Iraq since 2003.

If someone is pro-Iraq war and pro-Bush policies should not talk about deleting bad news about Iraq. -- AaThinker ( talk) 10:42, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Just because other suicide attacks do not have an article does not necessarily mean that people decided that they're not notable, it may simply mean that noone got around to writing one. I believe that any suicide bombing where the casualties are at least 10 deserves an article; whether someone will write it is a different story. And yes I know that 10 is arbitrary like any other number would be, if someone can propose any better criteria of notability I'll be happy to listen.

So I suppose every incident of the war deserves a page? There has to be a limit somewhere.
Sure. What do you say the limit should be? Spiros Bousbouras ( talk) 22:16, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
You have to be more specific than that. Spiros Bousbouras ( talk) 12:13, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
You can't put a limit on history it happens and we need to remember these events.-- Sasquatch2 ( talk) 14:22, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
I linked "insurgents" to the article, although I wish the media in general would be more specific in this matter. The whole idea of using the word "insurgent" is as useless as saying, "some bad guys", and smacks of propaganda. 173.49.91.134 ( talk) 17:29, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Regarding "insurgents", if the media does not have information to be more specific then that's it. But even in this case, "unidentified individuals" would be a better term in my opinion than "insurgents". Spiros Bousbouras ( talk) 12:53, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
The geographical coordinates in the article is pointing to an exact center of a 4-leaf clover on the intersection of two highways. I'm not familiar with the Baghdad geography though, but I seriously doubt the attack happened at this specific place. Barvinok ( talk) 21:46, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Why does the article say "suspected suicide bombing" ? Is it not certain that it was a suicide bombing ? Spiros Bousbouras ( talk) 23:25, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
