Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2011 Virginia Tech shooting
please see , every other !keep vote is some variation of "it's in the headlines" or "major news event". What presumption of notability do you think applies in this case? Every "too early to tell if this is notable" !keep vote I feel is a "too early to have this article" argument. The onus is on the article to clearly show notability, now. If there was some reasonable chance that this incident would be notable a year from now I'd be open-minded. But there isn't, and no expertise is required in appreciating that - it's the way the news and world is today. I blame Jimbo Wales for lack of sufficient branding of Wikinews, where an article on 2 related deaths by firearm (OMG!) created hours after the event would be less inappropriate
