Per WP:NOTNEWS. There is no evidence that this event has any discernible impact beyond the small, rural communities in which it took place. User:Namiba 20:15, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Despite the article creator's claim that it was interesting because it happened in a 'quiet area' of Maine...that is not a good reason for an article creation regarding a crime. This is WP:NOTNEWS, and the deaths of three innocent people are not 'interesting', but sad when it was a local story. Have some tact when thinking whether creating a crime article is the right thing to do, please.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 00:47, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Almost 3 months since the incident. Fails WP:LASTING. Lorstaking (talk) 09:09, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - I hadn't even heard of this until now, which means it wasn't even in national news coverage. Therefore, not that notable. Love of Corey (talk) 21:58, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
