This article should not be speedy deleted as being recently created, having no relevant page history and duplicating an existing English Wikipedia topic, because... (your reason here) -- E.M.Gregory ( talk) 14:30, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
My article can get deleted. I'm sorry for not noticing the existing article. JBergsma1 ( talk) 15:30, 18 September 2016 (UTC) JBergsma1 ( talk) 15:30, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
I disagree with the inclusion of trivia such as the continent of birth of the alleged perpetrator. See [1] for example of the text at issue. If we include that, we'd need to include other contextual info such as how long he's lived in the USA. EvergreenFir (talk) 22:00, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
So, we have the most important newspaper in MN, namely the Star Tribune, reporting that the terrorist was born in Africa; and this keeps getting deleted. Why? Since when are
WP:RS to be censored out only because one feels the info may not be important? If I feel it is not important that Einstein was born in Germany, do I get to delete this fact from his bio only because I don't think it is important, even though the WP:RS emphasise the fact?

Perpetrator swore allegiance to allah, ISIS claims the attack, newspapers are reporting it as islamic terrorism. Why not categorize it as such? Juno ( talk) 00:42, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
2016 Minnesota mall stabbing already being in Category:Attacks in the United States in 2016 so I think it should not in Category:2016 crimes in the United States. Newone ( talk) 03:38, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
While recognizing the common American fear of being labelled discriminatory on racial or other grounds, would not a new category allowing easy examination of Islam-related incidents in the United States be useful to many of us readers? I for one can no longer remember all the deadly incidents that have occurred in this century, let alone such incidents (as this) in which no victim died; yet the study of these incidents interests me, and an easily accessible index to the incidents would help.

The redirect Dahir A. Adan, which points to this article, is in Category:African Americans shot dead by law enforcement officers in the United States. At CfD recently there was a consensus to move some articles in that category to a new category, Category:African people shot dead by law enforcement officers in the United States. For categorisation purposes is Adan, who was born in Africa but became a U.S. citizen, an African American, an African person, or both? – Arms & Hearts ( talk) 16:49, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
