A man known "for robbery and violent crimes" stab one person, not life-threatening . Seriously, if we had an article about every such attempt we would have a billion articles. Totally unnotable for an encyclopedia Huldra (talk) 22:55, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

- Agreed. SPQRobin (talk) 10:24, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:RAPID. This was a stabbing attack on police officers at a police station at Brussels' Grand Place by a man shouting Allahu Akbhar. It is now under investigation for terrorism links. Notability can be reevaluated after the investigation concludes.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:36, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

- Keep per WP:RAPID and WP:DIVERSE multiple sources around the world reporting this --Shrike (talk) 14:44, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
- Keep. International news item on the 20th (very wide coverage). Major Belgian coverage on the 24th - [1]. Event has SIGCOV, save for SUSTAINED which we can not evaluate at present due to the recentness of the event. Thus, per RAPID, we should err on the side of keeping the article.

- Keep , at least until ultimate full notability (or lack thereof) of this event can be established.TH1980 (talk) 23:40, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
- Keep, no doubt. The coverage is daily and the investigation is for "murder attempt under a terrorist context". If terrorism in the capital city of the European Union is not notable, then what is? XavierItzm (talk) 01:21, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
- Keep and expand due to continued coverage of the incident. Rzvas (talk) 16:46, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
- Keep per coverage, per WP:GNGBabbaQ (talk) 22:28, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
