• Keep. The murder of three British servicemen in the United Kingdom is a clearly notable event and like all such events was heavily covered in the media at the time and since. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:56, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: The attack was notable as it received significant coverage at the time, in addition, the arrest and sentencing of the perpetrator continued the coverage. Meanderingbartender (talk) 13:53, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep, seems significant and there is no compelling evidence otherwise. Geschichte (talk) 03:52, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Passes WP:GNG and WP:NEVENT. With books covering the subject in depth that were published more than 20 years after the event, passes WP:SUSTAINED and WP:PERSISTENCE. 4meter4 (talk) 21:59, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
