 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Wait: It is a recent case in a country where gun violence is very sporadic. I will adding more info about the case.--Tetsou TheIronman (talk) 21:27, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per subby's rationale. A flash in the news cycle, without another page it could be sensibly redirected to. JamieWhat (talk) 14:10, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Wait a day or two - if no new news comes out on the subject, redirect it somewhere. Sir Magnus (talk) 15:38, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Wait This is a very recent current event, a week will give time to see what news emerges. CaptainEek  Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 22:52, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment, "Wait a day or two", "Wait ..... a week will give time to see....", see WP:ATA. Coolabahapple (talk) 05:09, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, does not meet WP:EVENT ie. lasting major consequence. Coolabahapple (talk) 05:24, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Even though I made the article I'm personally neutral about deletion. I really expected more to come out. Could easily be merged into the history section for the town's page. Vulpes zerda fox (talk) 09:39, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I should have looked through the page again. It's been improved quite a bit since I looked yesterday, so I've changed my mind just off that premise. Even now it's still only somewhat notable. Vulpes zerda fox (talk) 10:01, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. The murder of six people is notable, especially in Europe where such mass killings are very rare. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:01, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, family tragedy, no reason to expect long term interest. —Kusma (t·c) 11:01, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Very strong keep. As stated by Necrothesp. J 1982 (talk) 18:11, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Wait and keep There could be more new information to this case in the near future, so it might be expanded, plus, in Europe, there are almost never any shootings usually and to this extent with these many deaths. If it were in the USA where shootings occur often, then I would say delete, it's not notable enough for that country, but since it's in where shootings are rare, I say it is notable enough to have it's own article. An alternative is to add a little section in Rot am See about this shooting. -- Rslashthinkong (talk page) 6:33, 29 January 2020 (EST)
 * Keep, Such events are rare in Europe, therefore this article should be retained. TheEpicGhosty (talk) 05:30, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Missvain (talk) 17:53, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. There are several articles for shootings with far fewer casualties. Normally individual cases of domestic violence aren't notable but this definitely is. --Pjoona11 (talk) 03:44, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
