Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Terrorism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.

ETIM training camp (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)

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.

Nyamagabe bus shooting (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

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

Keep: Notable since it was used as justification for the arrest of Paul Rusesabagina Darer101 (talk) 04:05, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Failed terrorism plots (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

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)[reply]
