On the deletion proposal

[edit]

When I created the article I thought it was a terrorist attack, as many news sources indicated at the time. Now I see that the situation is different than that, so I'd understand the article being deleted. Four people being stabbed in one day isn't an ordinary event for the city, though. Edit: It would also make sense to change the title to '2018 Vienna stabbings' in that case. Alex of Canada (talk) 17:51, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your feelings but these events haven't been connected as some kind of a plot. The article can always be recreated at a later date if it hits the news again with new info coming to light. Rather than having someone take this to AfD, would you support a speedy deletion? The history would of course be preserved for a possible revival. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:56, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
But why? There is enough international coverage, the incident is exceptional so the article should be kept.--Greywin (talk) 19:43, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it's not exceptional, but it's notable to document for future generations the blunt policy pretext offered to the chancellor. Wakari07 (talk) 17:13, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think this should stay migration and asylum seekers, across many generations, are a constant part of humanity and documenting how and why one country's policies are changed is fairly important.Vwanweb (talk) 05:57, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
