Deletion of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania shootings

Comment: This article fails . Hell, I '''wrote and got consensus for'''  specifically for incidents like this. It was designed in large part to solidify the idea that local events, especially ones that have no enduring notability, should not have their own article

Comment: I wish some editors would read our |event notability guidelines. In fact, given that Mr Mitchell mentioned ''The New York Times'', I can report that this story only appeared on page A18, which is indicative of its lack of significance. First of all,  applies. It says that "notable events" usually have a wide impact across a wide region. This event has not had such an impact. Our event notability guidelines also require that an event have  of coverage, and not just be covered in passing. One small article on page A18 of ''The New York Times'' indicates that there was no depth of coverage, even on the day after the event. Our event guidelines also require that an event have  effects. This event has no historical significance. It is a one-off run-of-the-mill crime. These events are quite frequent. People must remember that we are , and not a police blotter either. The event guidelines require diversity of coverage as well, in . It says "Significant national or international coverage is usually expected for an event to be notable. Wide-ranging reporting tends to show significance, but sources that simply mirror or tend to follow other sources, or are under common control with other sources, are usually discounted". Clearly we do not have this diversity here, and as it says, wire reports do not show diversity of coverage. Also note , which requires that "Notable events usually receive coverage beyond a relatively short news cycle". Of course, this "news cycle" has already passed, as this event has fallen out of the news, and never was of top importance in the world. Overall, this article fails all of our event notability criteria, and must be deleted. The above editor says we should "keep it just for now", but this is a violation of

Comment: WP:Event is pretty clear that a crime such as this needs to have some societal impact other than grief and horror.  We cannot determine that YET.  Wikipedia is |not a newspaper.  Our purpose is not to cover events as they happen, but to discuss historically meaningful events in perspective. There is no way we can do that now.  To the IP posting above, where did you get the idea that was Wikipedia's purpose?  To the IP that mentioned that there was an article (not defined BTW) that discussed a hostage situation with less deaths,  is not an argument.  To the numerous people that are here and are always here as I am at AfD's like this, if you have a problem with the policies that cover notability for events like these, why don't you take your perpetual arguments to the policy page and attempt to change it, rather than waste other editor's time having to argue this over and over at AfD's.  Cause even if this gets kept now, which admittedly has been the recent trend, it will undoubtedly get renominated in a few years.  I really fail to understand why people don't get that just because we hear about everything that happens nowadays, that somehow makes it important.  Some guy popped a nut and killed everyone in sight.  Other than to the people who were directly affected, it has no meaning.  The case may have some merit to be discussed in the article on PTSD at some point in time in the future when we have had time to understand what it means, but for Pete's sake, killing has gone on ever since we had more people than Adam and Eve (literally..the first murders were in the second generation of people if you accept the Bible as history).  Quantity of death ≠ significance

Comment: per . An encyclopedia is not a newspaper. Shooting sprees are regrettably common, and naturally cause a short-term flurry of press coverage, but unless they can be shown to have some long-term significance they don't belong here
