2021 Washington Middle School Shooting

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Routine American gun violence. We are not a news site. No indication of lasting impact or any ongoing broader coverage. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 02:49, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

 *  Delete or Redirect to List of school shootings in the United States - This school shooting was a tragic incident of senseless gun violence. However wikipedia is not a newspaper WP:NOTNEWS, and the event at this time does not pass notability criteria for an article. If it has an impact in the future on changing school policies within a wider net, or the specific event continues to have ongoing news coverage then an article may be appropriate in the future. Sad as it is to read about these awful shool shootings, especially with 13 year olds involved, we can't include each one as a separate article. It could however be added to the article List of school shootings in the United States along with associated citations. Netherzone (talk) 14:18, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of school shootings in the United States. Fails WP:NOTNEWS as an (unfortunately) routine school shooting in the US. It's already been added to the list so nothing to merge at this time. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 14:58, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of school shootings in the United States, doesn't warrant a separate article. Rubbish computer Ping me or leave a message on my talk page 17:09, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment. Presumably there will be a trial and/or inquest which will be covered in reliable sources and which may have lasting impact. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 23:41, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment even if that's the case it's too soon for an article as there's nothing but routine coverage on this event right now. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 03:07, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
