Apparent failure of WP:EVENT (particularly WP:LASTING and WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE) and WP:NCRIME. The only real enduring significance is its connection with Salah Abdeslam which could easily be covered by a few lines elsewhere. The attack itself was small-scale and would be better dealt with in an article on the National Institute of Criminology (if one is ever created). —Brigade Piron (talk) 17:46, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
