This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Terrorism. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Terrorism|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Terrorism. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

List of Terrorism deletion discussions
[edit]- ETIM training camp (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

Per WP:NOTDICT and because the sources given and the article itself does not establish longstanding notability for the particular term. The sources merely verify that such words were used together, not even that the terminology was particularly special. I reckon the article's creator assigned weight on their own accord to the term.

All the sources are from June 2022. No lasting coverage or effect to meet WP:EVENT. LibStar (talk) 10:16, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Crime-related deletion discussions. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 10:47, 28 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: Zero coverage found about three years after the incident; news reports immediately after the attack appear to be the extent of coverage. Not a notable event. Oaktree b (talk) 13:08, 28 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete - No coverage since 2022. Koshuri (あ!) 17:01, 28 July 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: Notable since it was used as justification for the arrest of Paul Rusesabagina Darer101 (talk) 04:05, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
- Failed terrorism plots (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This "article" is actually a list, and fundamentally lacks any inclusion criterion. We can't maintain a list of all failed terrorism plots as there are about 700 articles in Category:Failed terrorist attempts or its subcats, of which about a dozen are included in this list. An article (as opposed to a list) might be able to be written on the topic of things that cause terrorist attempts to fail, but, assuming it's not already covered elsewhere like Counterterrorism, that is best done from scratch. * Pppery * it has begun... 04:43, 26 July 2025 (UTC)

T • C • G) 05:08, 26 July 2025 (UTC) - Comment: "failed terrorism plots" is a notable topic that has been discussed by various sources (ABC, BBC) so I think there's a question of whether it should be a list or an article. There is in fact already a list List of unsuccessful terrorist plots in the United States post-9/11. (with a questionable lede but that's a whole other issue). I think that if the list had a coherent inclusion criteria I'd go for that, and if the article was decent I'd go for that. The reason I'm on the fence is that I don't know which is more likely to get written. -- D'n'B-📞 -- 06:17, 26 July 2025 (UTC)

- Comment There have been previous discussions on related topics, see WP:Articles for deletion/List of thwarted Islamic terrorist attacks and WP:Articles for deletion/List of foiled right-wing terrorist attacks from 2023, both of which were closed as "delete". There may also be others I am not aware of. TompaDompa (talk) 00:04, 27 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. I don't see how this warrants a separate article because most of such events will never meet the notability guideline, thus making this list look more insignificant than what one would predict it to be. The category is good enough for now. Orientls (talk) 17:16, 27 July 2025 (UTC)
