Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2011 Tel Aviv nightclub attack
because of the continuing coverage spanning 2011, 2012 and 2013; the 2014 and 2016 explainers of vehicular terrorism in Slate{{cite news|last1=Keating|first1=Joshua|title=Why Terrorists Use Vehicles as Weapons|url=http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_world_/2014/11/05/car_attack_in_jerusalem_why_are_terrorists_ramming_vehicles_into_crowds.html|publisher=Slate|date=5 November 2014}}, in NBC News,{{cite news|last1=Jamison|first1=Alastair|title=Truck Attacks: Low-Tech, Soft Target Terrorism Is Growing Threat|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/berlin-truck-attack/truck-attacks-low-tech-soft-target-terrorism-growing-threat-n609996|publisher=NBC News|date=20 December 2016}} and in Australia's The New Daily{{cite news|last1=Stiles|first1=Jackson|title=The ‘dreadful simplicity’ of vehicle attacks|url=http://thenewdaily.com.au/news/world/2016/07/15/history-vehicle-attacks/|publisher=The New Daily|date=15 July 2016}} that specifically cite the 2011 Tel Aviv attack; and the 2017 white paper on "''Vehicles as a Weapon of Terror''"https://www.counterextremism.com/vehicles-as-weapons-of-terror#dd-summary by the Counter_Extremism_Project|Counter Extremism Project that also references Tel Aviv. In addition, the Tel Aviv attack is included in the 2013 book ''A Citizen’s Guide to Terrorism and Counterterrorism''.{{cite book|last1=Harmon|first1=Christopher|title=A Citizen’s Guide to Terrorism and Counterterrorism|date=2013|publisher=Routledge|isbn=0415709423|page=12}}Now, the first claim for deletion is , but LASTING says that an event with "lasting significance is likely to be notable;" i.e., not having LASTING by itself is no grounds for deletion.  The second claim is that «The media repeated the same story for a few days».  But the criteria for  is "stories are reported in the news just once on a single day, or over a period of a few days, and then are forgotten."  Well, this story certainly was not forgotten in 2012-2017.  The third claim is , but the relevant fail criteria are "routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities" and "breaking news".  Again, reporting from 2012 and 2013 and books and explainers from years later do not meet either.  The fourth claim for deletion is that the article fails diversity in sources.  I don't know what that means; certainly the sources are from Australia, Israel, the United States, the UK and others.  Does that fail ?.  The next claim is quite curious:  "sources saying the same thing".  Not applicable, as the sources span time and place.  Following is the claim that  is not met.  But  says "Notable events usually have significant impact over a wide region, domain, or widespread societal group."; i.e., it is a good to have, but not a must have.  Next the claim is made that  is not met, but again, see coverage 2011-2013.  Plus,  actually says: "If an event is cited as a case study in multiple sources after the initial coverage has died down, this may be an indication of lasting significance" ---please see the 2014-2017 explainers and white paper.  Finally, claims are made that reportages on the trials and convictions of the terrorists (i.e. criminals) are .  But back when the terrorist was a mere suspect, liable to be let go after 72 hrs, did we know what the outcome of the investigations and trials were going to be?   is clearly aimed at weddings, game scores, the police blotter and "Wikipedia:Notability_(events)#Routine_coverage|often light and amusing (for example bear-in-a-tree or local-person-wins-award), stories that frequently appear in the back pages of newspapers".  Such a serious misreading of policy should be tempered by reading , which explains: "Be careful not to make  mean something that it does not. Just because a news article is written about a pre-planned event does not make it "routine" coverage
