2019 California stabbing attacks

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not a notable attack. Article written up by a now-blocked right-wing sockpuppeteer, whose reasons for creating this seem clear. Anyway, it can't stand on its own merits: unfortunately this is as normal as it gets in America, and there is no indication that the crime was that widespread or that it had any legal repercussions.

 * Delete Article was only created in order to alarm and anger readers; WP:NOTNEWS, and I thank Drmies for finally getting these long-festering workaday 'crime roll' articles up for proper deletion nominations.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 22:16, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Every source in the article is from the immediate aftermath of the event, exactly as one would expect for a violation of NOTNEWS. It's exceptionally unlikely that anyone not directly effected by this event would remember it now (less than a year later) nor recognize it by name -- in that respect it is a typical crime story, with no lasting significance.  And while it is not strictly speaking a reason for deletion, the heavy emphasis on the ethnicity of the perpetrator is gross and speaks to the reason that this article was created in the first place. --JBL (talk) 01:14, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment I think neither Drmies nor I were aware of this, but this article actually went to AfD before, under its earlier title: Articles_for_deletion/2019_California_stabbing_rampage. The result was no consensus, and the arguments there that this would have any lasting significance have been proven conclusively wrong by the passage of time. --JBL (talk) 01:18, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Seems to fail WP:NOTNEWS. No evidence this attack had any WP:LASTING effect.-- P-K3 (talk) 12:53, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. Although well-sourced and covered in press, seem to be an ordinary gang-related crime. What is long-term significance here, exactly? I do not see any. My very best wishes (talk) 16:51, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
