Delaware State University shooting

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I been looking through Category:Spree shootings in the United States And this is one the events that seems To Fail WP:EVENTs. No lasting impact it seems to be run of the mill crime that just happened to be on a University Campus. put it perspective The School's Student News Paper Didnt even mention on the anniversary of the shooting. An unannounced Training Drill for the Nursing Program that centered on School rampage that caused panic months later did not mention this incident.

 * Delete. No lasting impact except for those directly involved. News hits are all stories within a few weeks of the event. Pburka (talk) 00:12, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Withdrawing. I missed the 2009 news coverage. Be careful about what news articles you consider, though. Some of the articles I found are about basketball, e.g. "shooting guard". Pburka (talk) 01:05, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. It was actually a major event; it received extensive news coverage. I did interviews with several media outlets for the Foundation regarding Wikipedia coverage of shooting incidents at the time, and I know other Wikimedians were interviewed as well. &rArr;   SWAT Jester    Son of the Defender  00:29, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Google search finds me, on just the front page, coverage from Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, NJ.com and MIT, with dates ranging from Sept. 21, 2007 through May 22, 2009. Just on the front page. 206,000 articles alone. I can't imagine how this fails WP:EVENT, the notability is pretty clearly established. &rArr;  SWAT Jester    Son of the Defender  01:00, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
