 * Keep Notable and ongoing riot situation with lasting notability. Juneau Mike (talk) 08:56, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Do tell, how do you know that an event not even 24 hours old has "lasting notability"? — MShabazz Talk/Stalk 13:14, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Strong keep Covered by national/international news agencies. That satisfies the notability inclusion criteria for events. Also, the event is one of political/socioeconomic issues and is likely to have lasting effects for the city. (cf. 2015 Baltimore protests) -- Veggies ( talk ) 14:16, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep is notable, has coverage. (See also: WP:RAPID) D3RP4L3RT (DERPALERT) (talk) 15:41, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Strong keep - Notable, has sustaining coverage, and is connected to the Black Lives Matter movement. I'm sure we'll learn even more once the identity of the deceased person and/or the officer who fired the fatal shots is/are revealed. Parsley Man (talk) 16:44, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - Another criminal championed by the terrorist BLM movement and its resulting riot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dinosaurdracula (talk • contribs) 16:53, 14 August 2016 (UTC)  — Dinosaurdracula (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep. Sufficient media coverage. Zaostao (talk) 17:50, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
 * merge and redirect into Black Lives Matter - Sadly, Police killings of young African American men with guns are becoming too commonplace. Not all of them are notable or should have articles since there are thousands of them a year in the US.  The riot may be notable but only if it persists like what happened in Ferguson, MO.  As it stands it's just a blip on the radar. 166.70.213.246 (talk) 19:59, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Note None of the events in Milwaukee have been linked in any way to the Black Lives Matter movement. We would, in effect, be merging two unrelated articles.Juneau Mike (talk) 21:47, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Sufficient information on subject. Mangokeylime (talk) 00:51, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Large media coverage, and a very notable topic. No idea why it's being suggested for deletion.  Ghoul flesh  Jack-o-lantern.svg talk 03:21, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Strong keep Event is notable and as historic as any of the other police shootings that have their own Wikipedia pages Shooting of Walter Scott Shooting of Samuel DuBose -- Viperstick (talk) 04:55, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep Do we really have to do this every time now? It is obvious that this meets guidelines for widespread notability and there is no chance of this being deleted at this point. ProfessorTofty (talk) 05:00, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - National coverage of the event. Plenty of people reading this article shouldn't have to see this notable event being tagged for deletion. —SomeoneNamedDerek (talk) 06:52, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
