2012 Azana Spa shootings

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:EVENT. No lasting effects or national/global scope. Transcendence (talk) 18:57, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment: Unsure if it should be kept or saved, but it should at least be mentioned in Brookfield, Wisconsin in the history section as along the lines of "In 2012, a gunman killed 3 people and wounded 4 others at the Azana Spa, before committing suicide." For now, I may be leaning towards "delete". Cyanidethistles (talk) 20:20, 29 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails the Wikipedia is not a newspaper policy and WP:EVENT guideline, there is no indication that this event was a "precedent or catalyst for something else of lasting significance"; there does not appear to be any significant coverage outside the single news cycle. This is what Wikinews is for, newsworthy event - Yes; Encyclopaedic event - No.  LGA talk  edits   21:01, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep. Press coverage (see list of references) is sufficient to justify notability of the incident. It does qualify as mass shooting. My very best wishes (talk) 21:37, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Press coverage shown is all within a day of the event, no lasting coverage, textbook WP:NOT. Secret account 22:46, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
