WP:NOTNEWS. Not a very notable shooting with only three deaths. With the shooter also dead, there is no real possibility of the case being significantly revisited by way of something like a trial. Love of Corey (talk) 04:09, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete per above. Is there perhaps a list into which this could be merged? An anonymous username, not my real name 04:41, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not that I know of. Love of Corey (talk) 05:49, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep, the motive is still being investigated, seems too soon to delete this without knowing what authorities may say on that front. —Locke Cole • t • c 05:06, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Also, consider WP:NTEMP per all the sources below. —Locke Cole • t • c 20:00, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep per further discussion below and misapplication of WP:NOTNEWS, and my prior weak keep comments about the ongoing investigation. —Locke Cole • t • c 21:54, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete News of only local note. WP:NOTNEWS. Nate • (chatter) 18:41, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@MrSchimpf: News of only local note.

Comment Wire services exist and often copy the same AP report over and over again with light differentiation between each source, as done here. Also we don't allow the Daily Mail. Also 'source dump' AfD votes without any comment are usually dismissed outright by most AfD participants, as they add nothing to the discussion other than the opposite of WP:HEY.

Interesting. I've read all those articles, and in addition to completely different authors in the six I just spot checked, they also have different information and levels of detail (and very different layout/formatting). Regardless, your claim of "news of only local note" has been refuted. If you have another reason to delete, by all means state it, but don't try to !vote with something as easy to refute and as absurd as that, thanks. —Locke Cole • t • c 20:51, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Plenty of RS coverage, and people citing NOTNEWS really need to read what it actually says; it's much more applicable as an argument in support of keeping this. Jclemens (talk) 21:22, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Kind of makes me want to write WP:NOTNOTNEWS (ala WP:NOTNOTMEMORIAL and WP:NOTBLP1E)... the whole WP:NOT gets so much abuse from people shoehorning into things it clearly isn't meant for. —Locke Cole • t • c 21:51, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Shootings in the US are, alas, becoming commonplace and frequent. There's nothing special about this one. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:43, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
