Despite the rumors that got some news coverage, as far as I can tell nothing actually happened yesterday in connection with this. Older version of the article had a list of things that happened on the day but no confirmed connections to the call to action. Seems to pretty clearly fail

If there’s an effort to keep, encourage all to expand this article.
  • Weak Keep This definitely was an event, regardless of how many attacks happened.
Also needing attention is specifically the discrepancy the call to action and the varying responses (and how it connects to differing interpretations and misinterpretations of the term “jihad” Mistamystery (talk) 22:52, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The only thing connecting this article is a statement, one attack possibly caused by it, and another unrelated attack. It can easily be a paragraph in the main article. Jebiguess (talk) 01:34, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    2023 Israel–Hamas war § Reactions and/or Arras school stabbing. No indication of that this is distinct and notable event compared to the many declarations and threats issued by terrorist groups in the past, which were also covered extensively by the news at the time, and which we by and large do not grant individual articles. Although many places made preparations, the same can be said for the responses to other declarations. While the French attack was clearly linked to the war in general, there is no hard proof AFAIK that it was inspired by the call for a "Global Day of Jihad" in particular, and even if it did, it already has its own article where this can be discussed and linked to the main article on the war. ― novov (t c) 01:54, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply

  • Delete per above. Plenty of hoaxes and false flags related to the situation in Palestine are going around and this is just one of those. It doesn't warrant having its own article. - Ïvana (talk) 03:27, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    2023 Israel–Hamas war and Arras school stabbing per above. Despite those concerning calls for worldwide violence, only two (very small) attacks came out of it that day. Less of a phenomenon per se, and more of a whimper that can just be mentioned in the relevant articles. Corgi Stays (talk) 22:01, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply

    DFlhb, this is an endemic problem, and there's an ongoing discussion about fixing it here. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 01:13, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. This is not even relevant. Hamas former leader never called for global terrorist attacks.

As reported from Wired, "Meshaal called for protests on October 13 across the Arab world in support of the Palestinians before adding: “To all scholars who teach jihad ... to all who teach and learn, this is a moment for the application [of theories]. While Meshaal very specifically made the calls for protests in “the Arab and Islamic worlds,” his comments were quickly mistranslated online to become a “global day of jihad,” a phrase he did not use."

So it is just fake news.

Also, the attacker in France was already on the watchlist over his Islamic extremist belifs, which appears to be the motive behind the stabbing. It has nothing to do with the ongoing war. Gianluigi02 (talk), 16 October 2023
