If this source can't be trusted, shouldn't the name of the perpetrator for theEslöv school attack be deleted as well?FixItAllNow (talk)08:23, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think so. svwp would not show the name of the perpetrator unless it is published in established media like national newspapers, television etc. /Anhn (talk)10:14, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that the current image used in the perpetrator's infoboxLaaiti Ekenstéen mugshot.jpg Laaiti ekensteen mugshot.jpg is a school portrait and not a mugshot as I recall reading it somewhere in the report that it was a school portrait, wouldLaaiti Ekenstéen mugshot.jpg be a better alternative?Salutations25 (talk)08:59, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's an image at the police station. The green clothing is a standard in the Swedish jails and prisons.FixItAllNow (talk)14:14, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see, it must have been a mistranslation on my behalf.Salutations25 (talk)23:08, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that there are many interesting and important images regarding the attack, however, this article is still fairly short and too any images clutter up the article by overlap into other sections and wrapping text around other images, I removed the image of the note he left. Does anyone have any ideas?Salutations25 (talk)09:13, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am fairly certain it was called school attack rather than school stabbing since it was directedat the school specifically and not just a stabbing that happened to occur at a school. The same goes with the Eslöv attack. The schools were the targets, not the victims that were injured or threatened.FixItAllNow (talk)17:59, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Aeboa, why do you believe this page needs to be redirected toList of attacks related to secondary schools? There seems to be enough notability and news coverage of this case to warrant its own article. If you want to change it back, please respond to this message before doing so.CornyDude22 (talk)12:24, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the articles for theKristianstad school stabbing and theEslöv school stabbing should be merged in to one article.There have been many stabbing attacks in Swedish schools, and the thing that made these two events so notable and infamous were the perpetrators and their close connection. It feels excessive to have both of these as separate articles since these two attacks are almost always paired together when people discuss them.CookieCutta1 (talk)18:44, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge – I agree, almost all secondary sources talk about these together and they aren't really notable enough to warrant their own articles.AFeatherlessBipehead (talk)19:57, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. If they aren't notable separately they aren't notable together, and I can't see how this would be scoped. We would have 2 different events brought together because the perpetrators were friends on the internet? Ridiculous. That article would be a disaster. And if your argument is that it fails NEVENT, then this doesn't fix that, and it should be nominated for deletion.PARAKANYAA (talk)19:33, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"calling the school's SOS Alarm" and "The student was held in custody for the following 8 months until his conviction on 14 June 2022" (when the attack happened in January) makes no sense.AFeatherlessBipehead (talk)10:21, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
