2022 Scarborough shooting

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Reviewed under new page patrol. Short term news story (wp:notnews). All coverage is short term within 2 days of the even, nothing since. North8000 (talk) 01:52, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Shootings happen all the time here in Toronto, this one isn't particularly notable, almost routine. Oaktree b (talk) 02:24, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete It looked like this might have had some traction when it was reported as a mosque shooting, but it happened blocks away from the strip-mall mosque where the victims had attended prayers and was most likely a case of mistaken identity (drug dealers mistaking the victims for rival drug dealers rolling onto their turf) than some kind of hate crime. – Reidgreg (talk) 02:41, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete Not a notable enough event to merit an article. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 09:42, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: If kept, it should be moved to a more descriptive title. In trying to find information about this shooting, I largely came across information about an unrelated shooting in Scarborough in June. TartarTorte 19:13, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. We can't indiscriminately keep an article about every single shooting that happens in the world; we need to see long-term significance that would pass the ten year test, not just "this is a thing that happened", before a permanent Wikipedia article about it would become justified.
