Small information. Can easily be covered by Timeline of the war in North-West Pakistan, which itself needs work done. It is also a violation of WP:NOTNEWS. The Ninja5 Empire (Talk) 03:15, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as clearly passes WP:GNG. WP:NOTNEWS doesn't apply here. Check death toll. Greenbörg (talk) 10:48, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (in part a protest vote :-), in view of the recent AfDs I participated in). I'm sympathetic to the OP's argument on WP:NOTNEWS, but this attack killed 8 people and was targeting state workers, with a clear political intent. Keep on these grouns.

Keep - a BEFORE convinced me this meets GNG. Added a bit of sourcing and info to article. Note casualties and intent are irrelevant - what matters is actual coverage in RSes, which exists here (e.g. a similar attack in a very hot conflict zone (i.e. Syria) might not meet SIGCOV - it depends how the sources treat it).Icewhiz (talk) 07:03, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
