Sure we have attributed statements supporting the speculation that this attack was related to Islamic extremism, but can we, within the bounds of Wikipedia policies ( WP:NOR, WP:SYNTH, WP:V & co) support the assertion that it was also somehow part of an implied centrally coordinated or organised campaign of attacks across Europe which started in 2014? I propose removing links and association to this notion (including the article Islamic terrorism in Europe (2014–present)) until we have adequately attributed and reliably sourced confirmation that that is indeed the case, -- de Facto ( talk). 06:40, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

The template presently says:
I believe the use of "perpetrator" rather than "suspect" means he was convicted at some point? I am not able to find a conviction date mentioned though. Am I overlooking this or have we not added it yet? ScratchMarshall ( talk) 19:44, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
@ Pincrete: thanks for clarifying that, missed that detail skimming the article. WP:BLPCRIME protections would not apply then. ScratchMarshall ( talk) 20:16, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
The latest edit war in this article is on how to describe the perpetrator in the lead paragraph. Is he to be called a "British citizen" or a "Briton," to revive the archaism favoured decades ago by the Canadian owner of the Daily Express? I propose that as a compromise we return to calling him a " Kentish Man." NRPanikker ( talk) 20:41, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
Why use the word terrorist to describe this attack? I thought wikipedia stood for npov 94.174.60.160 ( talk) 16:29, 8 November 2023 (UTC)Terrorism
