2015 Ramadan attacks

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article takes three separate incidents which are separately covered (1, 2, 3) and makes two substantial and unproven assumptions:

They are linked
They were instigated by a particular message from an ISIS leader

The link between these events may yet be proven but it is irresponsible for Wikipedia to be presenting it as fact at this stage. The article's existence depends on that link, and even the title itself assumes it, so it should be deleted or at least taken out of article space.

Delete it. There is no link as there have been attacks since the month started and will more by the years end. It's just one day of multiple attacks. At any rate, there have been state and non-state attacks on every Ramadan for a few years. Some neocon pandering is more like it.120.62.27.54 (talk) 14:16, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. WP:PERP fails.--115ash^→(☏) 14:19, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for the reason given by RichardOSmith. There is no proven link, other than the general ideological one. Boreas74 ^{Speak Softly} 14:27, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have already contested the deletion. However, I wish we can change the title. Barjimoa (talk) 14:49, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete duplicates more complete lists List of terrorist incidents, 2015 and List of Islamist terrorist attacks - article included ISIL flag in apparent poor taste, or a desire to advocate for ISIL (WP:SOAP) - recommend speedy delete. If the link "may yet be proven" then delete this now and re-add if there's RS. -- Aronzak (talk) 15:12, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If this absolutely must be kept, it should be moved to 26 June 2015 attacks to limit POV assertions about Ramadan, and PRIMARY assertions from terrorists should be replaced with SECONDARY sources that analyse their meaning. -- Aronzak (talk) 08:44, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Just noticed someone has created 26 June 2015 attacks which seems to cover the same ground. Boreas74 ^{Speak Softly} 20:08, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Please keep. This article is the subject of a major terror event. If this event expands, you will have to create a new article.--Ridland (talk) 21:30, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, along with the associated template, as entirely WP:SYNTH. ansh 666 23:12, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Until there is some evidence that these attacks were coordinated (and personally I believe the time for such a claim to be made by IS has passed) this is WP:SYNTH --5.81.51.171 (talk) 00:44, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per nom. I'd also add 3. That these attacks are somehow related to Ramadan as also being WP:SYNTH. Nick-D (talk) 04:14, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Agreed. Just because these attacks occurred on the same day and were all sparked by an ISIL leader's message doesn't necessarily mean they are linked. DisuseKid (talk) 04:15, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Governments have even stated "no evidence to say the attacks were linked". This article is based on hypothesis and fabrication. There was no such co-ordinated attack. WWGB (talk) 05:56, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep it is a coincidence of terror attacks. Leave the article alone unless editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.101.55.51 (talk) 07:56, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, along with the template, as violation of WP:SYNTH. There is no evidence that all three of the attacks are somehow linked or coordinated. One of the sources cited says "Friday’s fourth deadly outbreak of violence, the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabaab group attacked..." So when sources mention the Tunisia, France, Kuwait events, they are simply aggregating news by the fact that it happened on the same day.VR _talk 08:13, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep

Strong keep and rename to Bloody Friday (2015) - see extensive news coverage tying these events together under one name - additional analysis like this shows long-term impact of these events (reassessment that ISIL is no longer classified a "regional" threat). I'll try to clean this article up today. (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL) —Мандичка^YO 😜 12:47, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Politico is neutral? In that case all non-nato sources are neutral against an agenda. This is clearly moving into a neocon agenda with overwhelming opposition.120.62.20.8 (talk) 14:21, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
