Nearly 10 months removed, I think it can be determined that this attack is a WP:NOTNEWS event. WP:ROUTINE coverage was sustained for about 3 days (mostly to mention ISIL's claim of responsibility) but no WP:LASTING impact has been established. Yes, this was covered by the media but according to WP:GEOSCOPE there needs to be a long-term affect on the area. This was tragic but please stick to policy. A redirect to a relevant list is also another option. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 03:44, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The premise is wrong. For instance, the wikipedia entry includes a WP:RS from a Swiss newspaper from November 2016, i.e. there was international coverage even 3 months after the attack.XavierItzm (talk) 04:59, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This event was widely discussed in the Russian media. Moreover, this attack was reported by BBC, Washington Post, Reuters. The article has this international WP:RS. --TonyaJaneMelbourne (talk) 08:17, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per others, seems to be clear it meets GNG. —Мандичка^YO 😜 16:56, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep - I guess WP:NOTNEWS is a dead policy.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 20:05, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
