The result was speedy keep. Non-administrator Closure - Per WP:SNOW, I cannot see a way of this being deleted (8 keep (3 speedy keep and 5 keep) with 2 delete votes, including the nomination). Reasoning for deletion were WP:NOTNEWS and some reasons for keep were WP:GNG, WP:SIGCOV, WP:RAPID, and the fact of this being a terrorist attack.

Keep - this fatal attack at a police station has been well-reported by the national & international media. French authorities have said it was planned & are treating it as a terrorist attack. It wasn't a routine crime. Anyone is welcome to improve it. Jim Michael (talk) 10:30, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep as the article now has 5 references and did receive international attention. Elijahandskip (talk) 11:39, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CommanderWaterford, could you specify which part of NOTNEWS you are referring to as to why it is not a notable event? That might help clear up confusion that others (Keep votes) and me have. Elijahandskip (talk) 17:55, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The article could use more expansion as of now, but other than that, I can't see how it is not notable. A terrorist attack in France is a pretty big deal, regardless of what actually happened. Love of Corey (talk) 18:43, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, this is a big deal.VikingDrummer (talk) 18:59, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep - widely reported and thus passes the WP:GNG threshold as there is WP:SIGCOV significant coverage in international media. A Thousand Words (talk) 04:36, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

According to France Inter, prime minister Jean Castex and interior minister Gerard Darmanin visited the scene of the attack, that means the attack has reached the highest levels of the French government. Changing my position to Speedy Keep. A Thousand Words (talk) 04:51, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
