To be included on this stand-alone list, each entry should meet the following list criteria (see discussion):

The incident is notable
The incident has a corresponding stand-alone Wikipedia article
The consensus of reliable sources describe the incident as "terrorism"

This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Aaron Bandler (May 23, 2024). "Seven Tactics Wikipedia Editors Used to Spread Anti-Israel Bias Since Oct. 7". The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles. Retrieved May 24, 2024. To be fair, there was consensus among Wikipedia editors to include the massacre in the "List of major terrorist incidents" Wikipedia page. But there wasn't consensus for including it in the "List of Islamist terrorist attacks" Wikipedia page, as enough editors argued in an RfC that doing so would violate Wikipedia policy banning "original research," (WP:OR), which states that "all material added to articles must be verifiable in a reliable, published source."

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please remove the "Black Tom Explosion" as the perpetrator was the German Empire, a state, and thus the incident shouldn't be included in the list. Ztimes3 (talk) 11:50, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done I removed this as the introduction clearly states that this list excludes state terrorism, thanks. Jamedeus (talk) 17:54, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request

1990 is in the 1980s, not the 1990s. Same goes for other decades. 195.195.4.104 (talk) 20:27, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why do the October 7th Attack death toll only include Israeli deaths?

I ask because all the other incidents on the list count both. 9/11's 2996 number is both the perpetrators and victims, so is Beslan's, the ones with militant attacks like Camp Speicher/Tikrit is usually both, why single this one out?

It's 2785 deaths (that last missing person was confirmed dead this morning so also that) to the standard of everything else 2604:3D09:1F80:CA00:2990:4B3C:893D:360 (talk) 22:31, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
