*[edit]

I started this, then found June 2016 Magnanville attack, and merged the infoo here without performing a formal merge, for the paltry reason that I am out of time for now but thought 2 pages better than 1 since editors will undoubtedly want to expand this topic today. With apologies for rough-and-ready editing. E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:30, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

This article is not very notable, IMO. People are stabbed in France every day, and this attack has a low number of deaths. There are many attacks in France with a higher number of fatalities that do not have an article.

Notability isn't measured by number of deaths, but the degree of significant coverage by reliable secondary sources. Plenty of notable events don't kill anyone, even a notable plane crash. InedibleHulk (talk) 23:53, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"This article is not very notable, IMO. People are stabbed in France every day, and this attack has a low number of deaths. There are many attacks in France with a higher number of fatalities that do not have an article." -- this is the stupidest thing I have read in a long time, if ever. The rank of the male victim and the circumstances of the crime make it eminently notable. Quis separabit? 19:52, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

New investigations[edit]

If you are able to read French Wikipedia or have time to look for new links, another cop became a Muslim, her daughter a radical islamist, and one of her friends who lived with them was on a list of dangerous radical islamists, had a list of 2626 intelligence members that only cops can see, had contacts with terrorists, and her brother knew the killer.

I just found this:

This looks like it's not Oxbridge English and of course "entreprise terroriste" is not a "terrorist company" though entreprise usually means company:
