Not notable. Hundreds of people are killed by police every year. Unless the subject himself is notable, or the aftermath is notable, there is no reason for an article on the person. Natureium (talk) 18:36, 8 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete - on the basis of WP:SUSTAINED, WP:BLP1E and WP:VICTIM. Recognizing that there is a considerable amount of media coverage and controversy around this shooting, it is unlikely to be sustained coverage, and it could just as well be included in a list article.

 * Delete article lacks any sources, and we should avoid these knee-jerk creations of articles less than a week after an incident unless it is of clear noteworthy level. This guy was shot and killed in an altercation with people who happened to be off-duty police officers, but that is not really material since they were not on the clock. There have been weekends this year in Chicago in which over 30 people were shot. No grounds for notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:10, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - Per . However, there is a protest about this shooting happening today, and if this keeps up, I might have to reconsider my position. Parsley Man (talk) 04:50, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - For posterity's sake, I renamed the article to Shooting of Joshua Beal. Parsley Man (talk) 01:56, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
