 * Keep. Substantial press coverage indicates notability. Everyking (talk) 13:29, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Substantial press coverage indicates that it was in the news for a few days, not that it's notable. Reywas92 Talk 00:51, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:EFFECT. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 21:59, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - press coverage is indeed substantial and indicates notability. mess!voting like user Presidentman is doing and with no substantial reason for it is strange.--BabbaQ (talk) 22:12, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Um, there was no lasting effect, and that's part of our notability criteria for events. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 23:36, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, no evidence of lasting effect or enduring notability. NOTNEWS -- No  unique  names  03:41, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: Nom is kinda lazy, to be honest. "Not every tragic event should have an article."  Well, sure, but not every tragic event should not have an article, also.--Milowent • hasspoken  19:25, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep, as the event has some lasting effects. It was covered in books published in 2009 (Violence Assessment and Intervention: The Practitioner's Handbook by James S Cawood and Michael H. Corcoran) and 2012 (Disruption, Aggression, and Violence in Higher Education by Brian Van Brunt). It also led DSU to enforce its security system, even through the use of experimental methods . Not a book case of lasting effects, but indeed it passes, less or more weakly, the WP:EVENT test. Cavarrone (talk) 06:26, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:NOT. I appreciate the references Cavarrone gives above, but I do not consider even those to be particularly comprehensive coverage or representing long-lasting effect of this event. Quite simply, it's just another shooting. § FreeRangeFrog croak 00:39, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge into main Delaware State University article. If this were a longer article then I'd !vote "Keep" but this is short enough that it could be condensed to a paragraph and added to the main university article without any problems. ElKevbo (talk) 15:43, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
