A news event. Quite a big news event, but a news event. Not notable distinct form any other suicide bombing, and Wikinews is over yonder. Guy (Help!) 21:25, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per notability, I still remember it now. I am concerned where exactly you want to draw the line on this one and I would have thought it would have been less so than this. Also seems to have been written about in a written reference that was not news. Cheers, Casliber (talk·contribs) 21:56, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Getting run over by a bus, yes, that's news. Getting blown up in a bus, well, that's history. And don't think it's forgotten already. --Dhartung | Talk05:11, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete 163 ghits none of which appear to be from reliable third pary sources (mainly being wiki or wiki mirror type sites. Maybe lenient enough to say Merge with Hamas or other article about similar occurences. Jasynnash2 (talk) 09:06, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment don't know how to cross stuff out so after doing another search with the word bombing outside the quotation marks I say Definite Merge as "Egged bus" bombings get a lot of hits but, no one occurence on its own seems to be more notable than the others.

Erm, Jasynnash2 you did see there appear to be refs from a book there as well? Thanks for googling though. The article does need some fleshing out. Cheers, Casliber (talk·contribs) 13:27, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I saw that the one reference in the entire article (at the time of my comment)was to a book. My understanding is that just because something is in a book doesn't automatically make it notable. My merge suggestion still stands as I've been unable to find any other article about a single similar incident (Egged Bus bombings) my suggestion is to compose an article entitled specifically Egged Bus Bombings and incorporate this text. It would allow All the bombings to be covered instead of someone writing up what would amount to a huge number of stub articles on the individual bombings.
