2021 Colorado Springs shooting
AfDs for this article:

Non-notable shooting: while there was a large amount of coverage at the time, there is basically nothing to meet WP:SUSTAINED. No lasting WP:EFFECT; unfortunately, shootings of this nature are not particularly rare or notable in the United States. Elli (talk &#124; contribs) 00:10, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep. Even in gun-crazy USA, seven deaths is noteworthy. WWGB (talk) 02:02, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Is it, though? Do you have the sources to back that up? This was a pretty typical shooting at a party, many of which have more victims and don't get articles, the only difference here being that all of the injured people died. There's also plenty of shootings with six deaths and more injured without articles; seems weird to draw the line for automatic notability at seven.

 * Redirect to List of mass shootings in the United States in 2021 as WP:ATD &mdash;siro&chi;o 02:53, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of mass shootings in the United States in 2021 per siroxo and WP:EVENT, which specifically excludes "shock news" with no lasting effect or deep analysis. A standalone article is not needed for such straightforward information. The first AfD happened barely after the article was written, so now that time has passed a clearer picture can emerge. 6 people being killed is what stands out here, but it was an obvious crime of passion that happened in a private venue, with the perpetrator committing suicide, so not even a trial. Compare with Articles for deletion/Smithsburg shooting, another borderline case, where this time the killer of 3 lived and was declared not criminally responsible a year later, with all the resultant drama.

 * Redirect to List of mass shootings in the United States in 2021. Although the number of deaths is shocking, other mass shooting related articles have far more deaths. 🛧 Layah50♪ 🛪 ( 話す? 一緒に飛ぼう！  ) 08:23, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of mass shootings in the United States in 2021, which is what should have happened in the first AfD. It's just a news story. Thebiguglyalien  ( talk ) 23:46, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
