Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scarborough crossbow attack
Every criminal incident that happens at all is not automatically a valid article topic on Wikipedia just because of the inevitable blip of "as it's happening" coverage in the local media. I live in Toronto, so I obviously remember this quite well, but Wikipedia is  — for something like this to qualify for a Wikipedia article, there would have to be some indication that it satisfies the |ten-year test, which nothing written or sourced here does. And the limited media coverage since isn't adding anything compelling either: the victims were his own mother and brothers, so this was a conventional murder and ''not'' an "attack" in the way we normally use that term, and the "suspicious package" was a false alarm that permanently disappeared from any further mention as soon as the bomb squad went home. So as sad as the incident was, there's no discernible reason why 2026 would need this article to exist
