Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amish school shooting
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
