Comment: or at least find somewhere to '''merge''' such as The Pentagon#Shooting, which the nominator failed to even consider per  (and citing  is a joke, at least read what our policies and guidelines say before citing them). Someone launching an attack on the Pentagon is not a routine event, and Wikipedia does normally have articles on such attacks on government targets: 2010 Las Vegas courthouse shooting, 2010 West Memphis police shootings, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum shooting, 2010 Austin plane crash, Hutaree, all of which are often mentioned in the same breath as the Pentagon shooting; I'm arguing precedent, not . The coverage in this case was international, in-depth (involving analysis of the event and comparison to other attacks), and not just one turn of the news cycle. The incident is discussed in the media as one of several recent attacks on the US federal government;http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/03/07/ftn/main6275213.shtmlhttp://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2010/03/05/when_raw_anger_at_government_turns_violent/http://reason.com/archives/2010/03/10/the-children-of-george-meteskyhttp://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2010_07/024825.phphttp://www.capecodonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100310/OPINION/3100338/-1/NEWSMAP perhaps it is worth having a article specifically about Attacks on the United States federal government? (we do have Militia movement and Patriot movement

Comment: per #NEWS. The notability of these sorts of incidents is difficult to evaluate. This incident has nothing particularly noteworthy to say other than "a mentally unstable man with a grudge against the government went out with a bang." Compared to 2010 Austin plane crash|the guy who flew a small plane into the IRS building in Texas, this case has not held the interest of the media or the public, as evidenced by the (lack of) lasting treatment by secondary sources and by Wikipedia page views.  The 2010 Austin plane crash article gets http://stats.grok.se/en/201007/2010_Austin_plane_crash gets over 280 page views a day, but this article only gets http://stats.grok.se/en/201007/2010_Pentagon_shooting 37 page views a day

Comment: per  and Tarc.  While a shooting at the Pentagon is certainly unusual, this shooting had no lasting effect beyond the immediate sticker shock of "Shooting at the Pentagon."  While the article is well sourced, most of the sources detailing the shooting are from that day or the few days following.  There was no long lasting impact, no expansive security initiative that followed it, no analysis to speak of.  The only thing that happened was on March 5, everyone reported the shooting, on March 6, everyone talked about the man who did the shooting, on March 7, no one could find any more to the story other than a psycho attempted to murder Pentagon policemen.  Tragic and shocking?  Absolutely.  Notable beyond a few news cycles?  Probably not

Comment: Obvious mis-application of / (Which stipulates that a person's article should not be created if they are notable for only one incident, not that both articles are unnecessary). Furthermore, this passes the  description of "indiscriminate information" and routine announcements (something such as "Severe storm knocks out power to 100,000" might be true but not encyclopedia-worthy"). As an event, this also easily passes  and  because of significant coverage and analysis (Also note that  states "it does not need to have ongoing coverage.") This is a well-written article and there is no reason for deletion
