Frankstown Township Shooting

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested PROD. Fails WP:EVENT and Wikipedia is not a news repository. § FreeRangeFrog croak 02:23, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: Seems to be just your run-of-the-mill local news story. Not notable enough for an article, and it fails WP:EVENT. Lugia2453 (talk) 02:46, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

This event is worldwide in distribution: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2251849/Pennsylvania-church-shooting-leaves-4-dead-2-injured-happened-NRA-press-conference.html?fb_action_ids=505732662780332&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=timeline_og Jogershok (talk) 05:26, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. A newsworthy event, but not an encyclopedia-worthy one. Peacock (talk) 19:01, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: What's the rush? I, too, oppose deletion, at this point it time. Why is this story any less important than the 2012 Empire State Building shooting? Let's give it some time to unfold before rushing to delete it? Elizabeth Blandra (talk) 22:35, 22 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep Per above, lets wait a few days to see if it is notable enough. Jay Jay Talk to me 01:18, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP:NOT, its a local news story being hyped because of the newport story. We don't have an article for every multi-person murder that happens in Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Moscow, Dehli...you name it. Just because this murder happened in some remote town and killed a woman decorating a church, does not make it encyclopedic. - Marcusmax ( speak ) 01:25, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment What's the rush? I am saying here that no, I don't want every multiple shooting in Pennsylvania in Wikipedia, but this particular situation I want to wait and see if this story has "legs" after we know more details, or not. For example, is there a mental health aspect to this event? A day after the event, no way to tell. --DThomsen8 (talk) 14:07, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep As a notable event that is significant enough for an article.  Automatic Strikeout  ( T •  C) 03:48, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clearly notable based on sources. Everyking (talk) 00:14, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep A notable event with good documentation. We are still awaiting any information about motivation or mental illness. --DThomsen8 (talk) 00:35, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
