Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2018 San Bruno, California shooting


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. Snow keep. It's routine to create articles on attacks and disasters getting massive media coverage. Give it a few days to assess notability then renominate if necessary. (non-admin closure) Ben · Salvidrim!   &#9993;  21:55, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep This is already gaining significant coverage in multiple reliable sources including New York Times, BCC, LA Times, etc. This is too hasty to decide. We could eventually merge into YouTube or San Bruno, California history if necessary. Steven Walling &bull; talk   21:09, 3 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment - looks to be gathering enough coverage internationally now (watching from the UK here) but hopefully it will turn out to be nothing, would suggest we perhaps wait a little while before coming to a decision Buttons0603 (talk) 21:10, 3 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep for now (note: article creator). Nomination is premature. (Yes, I know, others will say creation was premature.) --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 21:15, 3 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep per WP:SNOWBALL. Trinitresque (talk) 21:17, 3 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep This tag for deletion is too hasty. It's also getting international coverage, so it is a notable event. Snidester (talk) 21:18, 3 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep - This has considerable coverage and it's simply too soon to be at AfD. --  Dane talk  21:18, 3 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Snow keep. Editors' time would be better spent developing the article. Leave the WP:NOTNEWS arguments for after the news has died down and we have a better sense of what we're dealing with. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 21:19, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep unless you're going to cull all the irrelevant barely above stub disaster articles at WP, this is just another brick in the wall. --LaserLegs (talk) 21:27, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment - I've no idea why the article 2018 YouTube headquarters shooting (created 20:42, 3 April 2018‎) was redirected into 2018 San Bruno, California shooting (created 20:48, 3 April 2018‎). I've never met an incident like this on any Wikipedia where an already existing article would be redirected into a new one. Seems like things have changed here a lot since the last time I was active here. Regards, Sullay (Let's talk about it) 21:29, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * We've already been over this. The page can be moved later, but not while this discussion is active. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 21:31, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * You, Steven Walling and I have been over this, not anyone else. That's the reason I brought this grande problem into this discussion as well. Regards, Sullay (Let's talk about it) 21:32, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * OK, well, this discussion is about whether or not Wikipedia should have an article about the topic, regardless of the page title. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 21:33, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The page title isn't that much of a question to me, the question is isn't it against our policies to redirect the already written article that people are working on into a newer article? What if some third individual creates an article "2018 San Bruno, California YouTube headquarters shooting"? Do we direct this page into that one? Regards, Sullay (Let's talk about it) 21:42, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * You've made your point, but this is not a space for that discussion. Please stay on topic. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 21:52, 3 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep Also receiving coverage here in Latin America. --Jamez42 (talk) 21:36, 3 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Snow keep Nomination is too soon per other editors --★ Gooseflesh12 ★ ( talk ) 21:43, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 *  Move or merge - Move to "2018 San Bruno shooting" or merge to History of YouTube. --Jax 0677 (talk) 21:44, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep because Wikipedia is news. --24.112.234.124 (talk) 21:45, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment. Please respond to the nomination, I don't dispute that this has received primary news coverage. w umbolo   ^^^  21:48, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
