The notability is dubious. Two reliable sources mention the subject very briefly and another one is an interview with the subject. All the other sources are self-published by the subject and their existence doesn't establish notability. The only notable event here could be covered by the WP:SINGLEEVENT policy, and there is no article about the event, and probably shouldn't be. Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 08:57, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Article is about someone famous for one event, not notable Seasider91 (talk) 19:37, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Extensively and reliably sourced. Coverage in WP:RS extends well past the government office bombing, so WP:SINGLEEVENT doesn't apply. None of the sources used here are self-published; Bartetzko's book is listed but isn't used as a source. This could probably be expanded even further (it took me only a few seconds to find an extensive Deutsche Welle article). Amanuensis Balkanicus (talk) 22:44, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Properly sourced and mentioned in a number of sources. Sadkσ (talk is cheap) 20:31, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Sufficient reliable sources - though only just enough - to meet WP criteria. The BBC News and Deutsche Welle articles are particularly persuasive. Further, there are a couple of other Deutsche Welle articles on the guy not cited in the article (though some are translations of the same article).

• Comment Would it not be better to create 2001 Pristina car bombing, merge the contents of this article into that, and subsequently add more detail about the bombing, beyond simply his involvement? Per WP:PERP, it strikes me the article should be about the incident, not him, seeing as that's really what he's notable for. A brief look suggests sufficient sources exist - and these are only English language ones I'm looking at. Naypta ☺ | ✉ talk page | 14:14, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the car bombing itself is as notable as the individual. However, if you wish to create a new article on that subject, I won't object. Amanuensis Balkanicus (talk) 17:13, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
