The result was no consensus. I'll leave the issue of whether or not something marked as "policy" should in every case trump something marked as a "guideline" which was an issue in the first AFD for another discussion. WP:NOTNEWS says routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The issue here is whether or not this event is "routine" and whether or not it has "enduring notability". Opinions are divided on this issue. If this happened in Billings Montana (and involved terrorists) there would be no doubt that the event would warrant an article. However, it happened in a part of the world where such events are unfortunately more common, this gives some strength to the arguments that it's routine. However, there's also significant international coverage about this event which supports those advocating WP:EVENT and WP:N. On the last issue of "enduring notability", in this case I think only time will tell. Ron Ritzman ( talk) 01:49, 2 October 2010 (UTC) reply
Nominating per Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2010 September 13, primary concern involves WP:NOTNEWS. Procedural nomination only, I am neutral. T. Canens ( talk) 03:02, 23 September 2010 (UTC) reply
Keep, it is not routine but has political ramifications, as pointed out earlier, especially since Hamas has claimed responsibility for it, and now Hamas has issued a warning to the Palestinian Authority for having arrested the culprits. Implications are in connection w/ negotiations & Hamas-PA relations. As noted that the event still is receiving international coverage. KantElope ( talk) 19:15, 26 September 2010 (UTC) reply
