Comment and this would go for the article below as well. I'm not so sure delete is the right solution here. There are problems, with the dates being indiscriminate and the criteria being unclear, but an article that contained verified, notable attacks may be fine for inclusion if there was a bit more clarity as to the criteria for inclusion. The name is also a bit vague for my tastes as well. The info is worth including (WP:NEWS isn't the issue, imho), I'm just not sold this is the best way.

Delete per nom and per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Nick-D (talk) 06:39, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Rename as List of terrorist incidents, 2011 (currently a redirect to this article), just like all the other yearly articles List of terrorist incidents links to. Delete government-initiated actions or split them off into their own list. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:56, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
List of terrorist incidents has articles of terrorists acts around the world, with the ones from 1970 to 2011 having their own articles. This one should be redirected to List of terrorist incidents, 2011. Any information that is different can be merged over. It was originally called that, before someone decided to split it into two different articles, and argued over the word "terrorist". I reverted their redirect. Any information not there already, should be merged over. Dream Focus 23:11, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We went through a long discussion on the talk page and terrorist is pov, ESP. if only mentions non-state actors.

As an aside, thsi incarnaiton was NOT my preference it was a product of consensus...that was then unilaterally reverted without discussion while 2 pages were ongoing. per WP:WTA]] and WP:NPOV as well as consensus on the TALK PAGE not this discussion for deletion it was agreed to mveo it.Lihaas (talk) 21:09, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete. Unclear inclusion criterion, resulting in random selection of the thousands of individual violent attacks by non-state actors for criminal or other motives. --Lambiam 08:27, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. While WP is not news, the list format provides a record of events, similar to year articles (e.g. 2011) which incidentally have far looser inclusion criteria and thus really read like a news paper. So, instead of deleting, this article just needs to have its inclusion criteria better defined. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 13:51, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Maybe this info should go somewhere else, or some other merges, reorganizations or changes are needed. But there is a huge amount of sourced referenced reasonably-enclyclopedic information & work here. North8000 (talk) 13:34, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete, Wikipedia is not the news. Also see WP:LC items 1, 3, 6, and 10. Stifle (talk) 16:26, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep On the right side of the table are two columns: State and Non-state. The entire State column proves that the article is not a copy of the Terrorist actions list. Could be a more concise addition to the existing 'List of terrorist incidents' if it included only State Actions. Anarchangel (talk) 05:09, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
