1996 shooting of Tupac Shakur

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A complete duplication of what already exists in Tupac Shakur and Tupac Shakur. His biographical article covers his death sufficiently and it is very unlikely anything substantial about the shooting will come up to merit a separate article The Legendary Ranger (talk) 00:09, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep, but rename to Murder of Tupac Shakur per WP:NAME. Seems to be enough information to warrant a separate article to me (although a few more sources would be nice).  Erpert  Who is this guy? 08:11, 5 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep - Rather shocked this was never a standalone article until this recent creation. Tupac's death was hugely notable, that is beyond debate. Work obviously needs to be done to bring material from the main bio to this article, but there's no real reason to delete this at all. Tarc (talk) 13:21, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - Rename is not NPOV, but this article should be kept and expanded. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 13:21, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
 * What is non-neutral about Murder of Tupac Shakur? Is there any doubt that this was murder? Even if there was then Death of Tupac Shakur would be a much better title than the current one, which certainly shouldn't include the year, and this incident is defined by Tupac Shakur's death rather than his shooting.

 * Keep. I share Tarc's surprise that we didn't have an article before now. As a middle-aged middle-class white Englishman who knows very little about the hip hop scene I recognise this as an obviously notable topic, which could overwhelm Tupac Shakur's article if covered comprehensively there.
