Although this article is well sourced and there was some international coverage of the events described, I am not sure that the coverage is sustained enough or the events significant enough to make the topic notable. Mccapra ( talk) 07:32, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

- Comment -- On current showing, I'd have to lean toward deletion based on WP:NEVENT and WP:NCRIME. All of the sources currently cited are WP:PRIMARYNEWS. To by valid for mainspace, there need to be secondary sources that analyse the event in WP:DEPTH or show lasting WP:EFFECTS. It also appears that the coverage is specific to the timeframe of the original incident, which would fail WP:PERSISTENCE. I am not ready to !vote until I see if anyone can resolve those issues with sources that are not accessible to me due to language barriers. Cheers, Last1in ( talk) 13:03, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

- Selective merge to Algeria–Morocco relations. The sourcing appears to be routine news coverage of the event and its aftermath, so it's not notable in its own right, but there is relevant information for the target article. I wonder if Mccapra or Last1in would be willing to consider this as an alternative to deletion. Thebiguglyalien ( talk) 20:08, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
- Certainly thank you that sounds very sensible.

- I can support a merge to Algeria–Morocco relations as well. My only concern is that we should be looking for secondary sources there as well, and I still can't find any for this event. Cheers, Last1in ( talk) 14:12, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Final relist, leaning towards a merge.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, NotAGenious ( talk) 08:55, 21 January 2024 (UTC)- Merge if secondary sourcing can be found to support balanced addition to the target page.

- Merge with Algeria–Morocco relations: if the event turns out to have a WP:LASTING effect on the bilateral relations, it can always be spun off. Owen× ☎ 21:43, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Merge with Algeria–Morocco relations a properly sourced and neutral version per above. Not every incident needs or has the WP:SIGCOV from WP:IS WP:RS sources to support a stand alone article. There is a good target for the merge, it will be improved, and the content/history will be accessible. // Timothy :: talk 15:28, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
