Deletion of Amish school shooting

Comment: I'm dubious as to how much good faith was involved in this nom. At best I think its a deep misunderstanding of wikipedia policy. This is pushing the definition of #NEWS to the absolute limit and then some. I quote from the policy the nom uses to justify his nomination; ''Routine news coverage and matters lacking encyclopedic substance, such as announcements, sports, gossip, and tabloid journalism, are not sufficient basis for an article.'' This article does not come under any of those categories. Also try ''topics in the news may also be encyclopedic subjects when the sources are substantial.'' You'd be hard pushed to argure this subject doesn't meet this criteria

Comment: does this scream ? I count 35 citations, not 1. Also, think maybe we could move this to Nickel Mines Amish Shooting or something? Also, this is a notable incident, it did get national media coverage

Comment: I strongly disagree with this interpretation of #NEWS. This was a major event and it continues to reverberate. Just because the article cites contemporary sources doesn't mean there has not been continued discussion in the media since then. Here's a http://news.google.com/news?client=safari&rls=en&oe=UTF-8&um=1&tab=wn&hl=en&q=amish+school+shooting&btnG=Search+News Google News search for the last 30 days; while hits many are irrelevant, I count several that are. Still more articles appeared in the rest of 2007.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/26/AR2007012601373_pf.htmlhttp://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8MNTC5G6&show_article=1http://www.newsobserver.com/719/v-print/story/537906.html. Then there's this http://www.philly.com/dailynews/opinion/20071114_Carol_Towarnicky___THE_AMISH_BOOK_OF_FORGIVENESS.html book that's been published on the incident and at least two follow-up TV shows or documentaries in 2007.http://www.alacrastore.com/storecontent/voxanttv/2007fx010105cc260http://tlc.discovery.com/convergence/amish/amish.html. It would be a mistake to delete something like this from our encyclopedia, especially when the editors of the article have so carefully documented it
