I repeatedly tried to remove it but it was repeatedly readded, and my complaining on the talk page was no use.
I think the right way to handle this sort of thing is to have a separate template (an "ISIL" template, for instance, which luckily already exists) listing the terrorist attacks they perpetrated. Then that template can be added to all the relevant pages. LjL (talk) 21:14, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, this is the issue. Are the "related events" things that involved ISIL anywhere in the world, "terrorist" actions in 2015, "terrorist" actions in France, events involving so-called Muslim extremism ... the possibilities seem pretty endless without some sort of criteria. (I've been careful with my words because, for example, one person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter, although I accept that the common view is that this was indeed a terrorist attack). - Sitush (talk) 21:29, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Band
@178.94.166.186: re: Example text, I could ask why don't you try to reach a consensus before adding it? The band was on stage when the attacks happened, yes. Many things were happening at the same time, but this is a template that should link to the main related events and concepts, and these are just people who happened to be there. I don't see the relevant and I don't believe there is a worthwhile relevance. LjL (talk) 21:33, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

While stalking etc does go on, I don't think it is likely to impact greatly here and proving the pattern can be problematic. Certainly, one clash doesn't justify such a claim. I'd let it drop for now, LjL, unless you do indeed have evidence of some sort of pattern. That said, Yossimgim, your rationale is completely useless and will have no impact at all on any decision made regarding this discussion. I think you need to review WP:CONSENSUS. - Sitush (talk) 00:31, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it's necessary. The theater is linked here, the band and its members aren't needed. We wouldn't add the teams at the game and other secondary articles on the issue. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 23:45, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's pretty much irrelevant to the attacks. They survived, nothing happened concerning them. They're not a band of such notability that anyone thinking of the attack will think of the band, either (although people who know the band may conversely think of the attack, making a mention of the attack probably appropriate in the band's article).

Thanks for that, but I was asking John and your comment of "They're not a band of such notability that anyone thinking of the attack will think of the band" is quite frankly bollocks. LugnutsDick Laurent is dead14:50, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@LjL: For your information, WWGB kept removing the template from the main article and the reactions article every time I added it with the simple edit summary of "Relevance?" I was confused myself. Check the article's edit history if you don't believe me. Parsley Man (talk) 22:55, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
From which article? This is the template about the November 2015 Paris attacks, so in my view, it should only be included within the November 2015 Paris attacks article (although I've had disagreements about that sort of thing in the past). This templates includes events related to the Paris attacks, but it is, itself, about the Paris attacks, not those related events, so that's the article it belongs in. Anyway, see the section I've started below: what's the difference between the Brussels attacks and the other "Related events" listed? LjL (talk) 23:01, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Parsley Man: well then, as I said, I agree with WWGB that the template should probably not be included there, but that doesn't mean that the article shouldn't be listed within the template. They are two separate things. The title of the template concerns the Paris attacks, not the Brussels attacks. LjL (talk) 23:19, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The last time a mention of the 2016 Brussels bombings was removed from this template, it was done with the justification that they are not "notable", but clearly they must be very notable since they have a prominent article that was even featured on In The News. It was stated that WWGB was the one making this claim, but I don't see them editing this template or discussing it on this talk page; if it was discussed elsewhere, well, it wasn't the right place.
In any case, this template lists several attacks under "Related events" where the only thing in common is that they were seemingly perpetrated by ISIL, and I have seen no evidence or reasoning on why the Brussels bombings would somehow be different from other ISIL-perpetrated attacks in Western countries. Since the article about them does claim ISIL responsibility, with sources, until there is some concrete reason to differentiate those attacks, they should remain as part of this template.
