2019 Sebring, Florida, shooting

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

To steal the nomination rationale from a different mass shooting that was recently deleted at AfD: "With due respect to the victims, this event doesn't seem to be notable. While it is a bit early to tell, it seems that there's only routine coverage, and not every mass shooting is automatically notable." GorillaWarfare (talk) 17:23, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep due to the unusually extremely impactful nature of the incident: "Highlands County Sheriff Paul Blackman said the shooting will have a lasting impact on Highlands County. 'I have been in law enforcement all of my adult life and this horrific incident shocks and angers me more than anything I have encountered in my career,' Blackman said in a statement."

 * Keep: It happened at a major location, i can’t recall there being any bank mass shootings, seems like everyone who targets a bank is there to rob it and then a shootout follows, 5 deaths is kind of a lot for this situtaton plus it happened in another small community — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:600:8880:19B6:5123:ABE3:3A1:40FF (talk) 22:19, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment How is Seabring Florida a major location. It is less than 100 miles from where I live but I have never been there. Also- Here is another bank robbery with five people killed....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 01:14, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, I don't believe that this was a bank robbery. It was "just" a mass murder. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 05:06, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per sources, per coverage. Per WP:GNG.BabbaQ (talk) 00:10, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
 *  Keep. Page meets notability guidelines and has a long lasting impact on community. Plenty of sources to provide significant coverage. Also, this page should be renamed to "2019 Sebring, Florida shooting", without the second comma. Tinton5 (talk) 07:45, 27 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep – Notable.  Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 21:52, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
