Jiansheng Chen

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Declined A7 speedy delete and prod because there is a local news story, just like all shooting deaths will have. Don't see how that is a claim to significance. There is no claim to notability for a person who was shot sitting in their minivan. - GB fan 23:57, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a newspaper. There is no evidence of broader significance for this local incident. AusLondonder (talk) 00:01, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
 * See also Shooting of Jiansheng Chen and associated AFD. - GB fan 02:28, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Request to keep the page as this was not an usual shooting case: the victim was inside his own car in his own neighborhood and was shot to death by the community security guard. The case bears similarity to the shooting death of Trayvon Martin and is getting increasing attention from the society. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SlowSuperMom (talk • contribs) 03:11, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

 * I don't think this is like that at all. Trayvon Martin elicited months of coverage and raised all sorts of debate in the media in regards to racial and societal issues. This situation is sad and unfortunate, but you can't possibly make make that sort of comparison yet. Sergecross73   msg me  16:31, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - It does not matter whether or not an article subject is "usual", only whether or not it is notable. "getting increasing attention from the society" sounds a lot like WP:ATA; if this person is going to become notable later on, we can easily wait to have an article on him until then. For now, an article subject does not meet notability requirements just for being involved in a single isolated event, even if that event were notable.--Martin IIIa (talk) 13:57, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete both. If we must document this somewhere, perhaps in an "Impact/effects of Pokemon Go section/article", but it doesn't require its own article, per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:ROUTINE. Sergecross73   msg me  16:31, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

You already asked to keep this article in this discussion. • Gene93k (talk) 03:12, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - I saw this on social media and it certainly is vexing to say the least. No opinion on the notability of the shooting but the biography of the victim, which is the topic at hand here, is not appropriate. A person whose death is the only source of widespread coverage on him is not notable per WP:BLP1E. His death may be notable, unfortunately his life is not.

 * Delete per WP:ONEEVENT and WP:MEMORIAL. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 00:10, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - I think the article about the shooting should be kept as it is getting national coverage outside of the local news media, but there is nothing about which we can write a biography separate from the one event. --B (talk) 01:10, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge with the other page "Shooting of Jiansheng Chen". Thanks to another editor's help, I have plenty evidence of significant local coverage (the Virginian Pilot), national coverage (NBC, CBS ) and international coverage . This strongly suggests that the content deserves to be kept in one way or another.  The victim was Chinese and spoke almost no English.  That added more complexity to the seemingly odd killing by certain security force and is bringing more attention from national and international coverage.

 * Struck other user's striking of a "keep", since to the casual observer it otherwise looks as though the only "keep" argument here has been rescinded by the user making it. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 13:54, 9 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete Normally I'd say "Merge" per WP:ONEEVENT but the content in this article is already in the obvious merger target, so there's no point. Exemplo347 (talk) 03:09, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete or Redirect Per Exemplo347. The more appropriate article is the event article. As the two articles are essentially identical, there's nothing to merge. A redirect to the event would also work. -- ferret (talk) 14:09, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete WP:ONEEVENT seems to apply here. Adamtt9 (talk) 23:57, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
