Possible
hoax. Was proposed by deletion by
GreyDynamite but
deprodded by
Ram1055 because the single source is an academic database, but as far as I can tell it does not discuss the attack at all (article is about a 1980 attack in Lyon and source is about a 1983 attack in Marseilles). Struggling to find a single reference online that is not copying from Wikipedia. —

- Apologies, I was too hasty and did not perform a proper WP:BEFORE search. I found the actual mention in the database; the source was probably copied incorrectly: [1] [2]. Also some book mentions: [3] [4]. I do not believe this is a hoax. However, I still can't find much beyond passing mentions, so I am not sure this meets the notability guideline for events. — The Earwig talk 00:15, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
- However, the web source does not give the same number of casualties as the Wikipedia article does. It says there were no deaths and only 4 injuries. Strangely, the book source does mention two deaths. - GreyDynamite ( talk) 00:41, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
- Not a hoax. I've added citations I found: an AP article appearing in multiple US newspapers and a French article. So, obviously, oppose deletion.
