Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stephen Paddock
Would you prefer not to have Paddock's bio in Wikipedia? It's sort of like having an article on World War II, and not having an article on Hitler because he has already been covered elsewhere. And ... no photo of course per Wikipedia:Non-free content. This entry was researched and created roughly at the same time as the expansion of section "Perpetrator" in the article 2017 Las Vegas Strip shooting. Please look at timestamps. And, here's what  says: {{tq|In considering whether or not to create separate articles, the degree of significance of the event itself and of the individual's role within it should both be considered. The general rule is to cover the event, not the person. However, if media coverage of both the event and the individual's role grow larger, separate articles may become justified
