Deletion of Randal Simmons

Comment: Are you saying that any police officer killed in the line of duty by shooting is inherently notable, even without multiple reliable and independent sources showing that the coverage is more than mere one time news coverage, but an equally non-publicized policeman death in a car wreck isn't notable? Is there a guideline stating that? You might wish to try and add that to the notability criteria at  and see how far it gets. Why would a policemen who is shot be more inherently notable than a soldier shot or blown up in a war, or an aviator shot down or a sailor killed in a war? Seems very point of view to make the life of a policeman more precious or his death more notable than the other cases

Comment: all. Serving as a policeman is a noble calling, and they gave their lives in the line of duty. But the most nearly notable, Simmons, has only one splash of news coverage from around the time of the killing. Fails notability per #NEWS and the essay NEWS. The other articles are mirrors of an "officer down" website. Not every soldier killed in a war, not every ironworker killed making a skyscraper or bridge,  not every farmer killed when the tractor turns over, is inherently notable. Wikipedia reflects what has been noted by reliable and independent sources via substantial multiple coverage. Further, being newsworthy, for one news cycle, is not the same as being encyclopedic, an enduring part of knowledge. Eikipedia is not a memorial, and these are mirrors of a memorial site
