Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Montgomery County, Pennsylvania shootings
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
