2015 Las Vegas car attack

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Hardly notable event certainly not worthy of a stand-alone article. Clearly murder according to the police but stems from a domestic tiff, nothing unusual in that and wikipedia is not a news service. Contested prod. MilborneOne (talk) 08:46, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete while this event got widespread news coverage a random person going nuts and driving on a sidewalk is not going to have any lasting effect on government policy or anything but the victim's and their families. Unlike a terrorist attack that can shape government policy and spending. Story will get a bit of press when she goes to trial, and that will be it. Legacypac (talk) 08:57, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom and comment above, Wikipedia isn't a news service.  CatcherStorm  talk   09:03, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - per all above. Homicide of one person by suspect without an ideological motive - this happens every day in the US alone &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 11:40, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete unremarkable event that got no international coverage, does not satisfy WP:GNG Seasider91 (talk) 19:31, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete with WP:SNOW in the forecast; Wikipedia is not a news service and this will have no lasting impact to establish notability. - The Bushranger One ping only 20:18, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Definitely nothing unusual and notable. Parsley Man (talk) 21:59, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

 * WP:SNOW delete per above. ansh 666 19:08, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTNEWS...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 12:45, 25 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep - I will actually have to say Keep here. The case has received world wide headlines. Plenty of reliable sources. Still continues to be covered by world media days later and likely over the trial as well. This is a clear Keep article for me. Some of the Deletion !votes seem to indicate knowledge of this case being of no lasting impact.. I want to borrow your magic balls please... so I also can look into the future. For now the case has received far over the threshold of attention and should be kept. --BabbaQ (talk) 18:52, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
 *  Keep or redirect - Article is well sourced, and happened during a major pageant. If the article cannot be kept, it should be redirected to Paris Las Vegas or another suitable location. --Jax 0677 (talk) 04:14, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. Nothing notable about this crime at this point. If it somehow develops a notable aspect later on through an unusual legal proceeding or connection to something other than a routine domestic then the article could be re-created later, but there is no reason to have it now. TheBlinkster (talk) 04:50, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete – I'm inclined to agree with TheBlinkster that it has the potential to become notable but presently isn't. I wouldn't salt it, but I'd delete for now. Aspirex (talk) 06:24, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
