Notability?

This seems pretty small-scale in terms of casualties and damage (no disrespect to those killed in the explosion), and not really relevant to anything or anyone outside of Paris. Why does this get individual article status when plenty of MCIs, accidents, etc. with equal or greater casualties/witness/outside relevance don't? Unsure if this meets notability guidelines under WP:EVENT --Tutwater (talk) 01:27, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This event was widely reported at the time in national and international media (see Google News for the aftermath) Although the coverage did not go into great depth the duration continued as the death toll increased, and it was of international relevance as citizens of three different nations were killed. The article itself is well-constructed with diverse sources and is already cross referenced by multiple other articles. Although is it not the most notable event recorded in WP it does seem to have overall quality. Artemgy (talk) 20:15, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
