Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Public reactions to the Giffords assassination attempt
sine I've already registered my notvote above.  Does the reaction to the event have a notability independent of the event itself?  Ironically, if this article were explicitly about the Palin brouhaha, it might actually be more encyclopedic, since a lot of that discussion became about Palin, rather than about the shooting itself.  Most of the rest of this is really just part of the shooting and should be split from the main article if and only if we decided to include longer coverage of everyone's |wailing and gnashing of teeth
