2017 Long Beach shooting

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A tragic but otherwise unnotable shooting. The coverage was limited to a day (maybe two at best) but Wikipedia is not news and the death of the perp means no trial so continued coverage or a lasting impact are both highly unlikely. Some of this may be attested to a more recent shooting in the same region but an excuse doesn't suit our notability guidelines. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 09:50, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete for failing WP:EVENT. No lasting RS coverage for this event.  No evidence of lasting impact.  Non-notable workplace violence. • Gene93k (talk) 03:20, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:EVENT and WP:NOTNEWS. This is sad and I wish it wasn't true, but... a shooting in the United States that only kills two people is far too common to be notable. It happens literally every day. Shelbystripes (talk) 07:19, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
