- Comment. I have added more news sources now. Two sources from 2017 isn't bad for a news story that started in 2015.--Rævhuld (talk) 22:59, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
One person imprisoned for a failed terrorist plot. The two Danish sources are both from May 2017. No indication that this event has the "lasting, historical significance" required for notability satisfying WP:EVENTCRITERIA. PamD 22:03, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
- Keep Well, I bet that User:PamD isn't from Denmark. This case has been discussed very broadly in all Danish major newspapers since January 2016.[1][2] The sentence she got is a milestone in Danish law decision. This case will have a major effect on future judgement regarding terrorist attacks. It started a big debate in Denmark about islam and refugees, being part of the arguments to close the border to Germany.[3] It was one of Denmark's biggest terrorist cases, with a large influence of the future of Denmark. So of course it is important.[4]--Rævhuld (talk) 22:34, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

Delete per failure to meet WP:LASTING and other criteria on WP:EVENT. Though a quick google search, I could find no national news sources in the U.S. that have even addressed this event. Sure, it may be different in Denmark but there are many similar incidents that have had coverage by English-speaking sources like the 2016 Balkans terrorism plot so that's not enough to say it's worth an article of its own.

- @Rævhuld I have read the links that I mentioned. The Daily Mail and RT are not WP:RS and I'm not arguing that it did not get substantial coverage in Denmark but WP:GEOSCOPE states "Coverage of an event nationally or internationally may make notability more likely, but such coverage should not be the sole basis for creating an article" so that can't be the only reason for creating an article. Furthermore, you nominated the 2017 Portland train attack for deletion despite it getting far more coverage than this, so we can't have a double standard when it comes to what is notable and what is not. Kamalthebest (talk) 23:06, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
- Well, your train attack DIDN'T get more coverage! It ONLY got more coverage in the USA! Not to mention that your train attack wasn't terrorism - this case is about terrorism and so more important. A lot of your news (even those you write articles about here on Wikipedia) are ONLY published in the USA. And you are not the centre of the universe, by the way. So either we make Wikipedia for America only, Donald Trumpish, or we follow the notability guidelines. And as you clearly can read: national coverage is enough. There is no rule there, claiming the entire event has to be heavily covered in US media to be relevant. Wikipedia is for all of us, not only for Americans. Wikipedia is meant to be for all of us! Coverage in national or international newspapers aren't the only things to look for. Lasting effect is another point. And you are right, it doesn't have a lasting effect on America, so therefore it is irrelevant ... for you.--Rævhuld (talk) 23:09, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Rævhuld: Please watch your WP:TONE, this is supposed to be a formal conversation. First, the train attack did not get only get coverage in the United States. The Guardian and The Independent are both British publications that reported on it. Al Jazeera is a Qatari source that reported on it. Second, it doesn't matter whether an event was terrorism or not since terrorism is not some magic label that automatically makes something notable. There have been over 125,000 terrorist incidents since 1970 and they all don't get their own articles. This wasn't even an attack, it was just a plot. Furthermore, "terrorism" is a notoriously ambiguous word since events with blatant political motivations such as the Charleston church shooting and Quebec City mosque shooting are never labelled terrorism.

- Note to Kamal, Rævhuld, national coverage is sufficient to pass WP:GEOSCOPE.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:05, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- @E.M.Gregory: Ok, thank you, I have withdrawn my vote per this and WP:PERSISTENT. I hope that this WP:AfD can be used as a precedent so that other similar but equally notable events can have their own articles. Kamalthebest (talk) 00:14, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

- Keep - Good sources that however needs to be expanded. Seems to fall within notability. Noted case in Denmark.BabbaQ (talk) 10:41, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- Keep Case getting international coverage sufficient to support notability, although, of course, the suppression of the perp's name (as per practice in Europe) makes searching more difficult, which may have misled some of the editors commenting on this page. Coverage in Danish and international press needs to be used to expand article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:54, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- Comment.Another article which is 'only' a terrorist plot in Denmark: 2007 bomb plot in Copenhagen. And we didn't deleted that article, right?--Rævhuld (talk) 12:24, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- Keep per E.MGregory; and that the coverage in WP:RS now appears to be both WP:PERSISTENT and of WP:DEPTH, which is sufficient to pass WP:GNG. — O Fortuna semper crescis, aut decrescis 12:33, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- Keep as per my century long friend Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi; that by default also includes agreement to Mr. Gregory's opinion above. —usernamekiran(talk) 12:52, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
