The explosion does not meet the notability guideline for events per WP:EVENT. The effects are not global in scope, and there is no reason to expect that this event will have lasting significance.

Keep - Significant explosions like this are notable and should be kept. Has received coverage outside the local area. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:27, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Afyonkarahisar arsenal as an article about a Turkish Army base, after which it can be expanded. Globalsecurity.org, although an unreliable source, says its part of the Turkish Army logistics command. Buckshot06 (talk) 01:08, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- That could certainly work as well. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 13:31, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think this article is significant. Also there are many reliable sources such as these Turkish news. Also there are many reliable international news like BBC Turkish, BBC, Deutsche Welle, Voice of America etc.--Reality 15:54, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Move per Buckshot06. This is a good idea, that addresses my WP:EVENT concerns while keeping the content with more opportunity for expansion. VQuakr (talk) 18:44, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or move to Afyonkarahisar Arsenal. Certainly notable enough to be recorded. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:29, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Move per Buckshot06. Intothat darkness 16:12, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Bushranger. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 18:07, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep/move and tidy as above. Stuartyeates (talk) 10:32, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per both Bushranger; and Buckshot06 recommendations too. — ΛΧΣ21™ 00:19, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
