Non-notable shooting. No lasting effects. No major coverage. Veggies (talk) 02:01, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. Just another routine shooting in the US. Nobody killed, no indication of lasting significance. WWGB (talk) 02:06, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:NOTNEWS (the basis of my PROD which would have ended today). Ribbet32 (talk) 02:46, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete sadly, routine in the USA lately. Oaktree b (talk) 13:37, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per everyone else. WP:NOTNEWS. Love of Corey (talk) 01:27, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - I gather from the short comments here that the consensus so far is to delete this per WP:NOTNEWS #2 (News reports). The description there points to WP:ROUTINE which I'm not convinced applies here. Sure, we're all fatigued by these shootings and perhaps not too suprised when another happens (at least if it happens far away from us). But they're certainly not scheduled events and I'd be surprised if we're at the point where they could be described as WP:MILL. It may be too soon to assess whether there will be sustained coverage but gun violence in the US is getting a lot of international attention and there are reliable sources tracking all incidents for use in ongoing reporting so it is a definite possibility. In any case, I don't see anyone advocating deleting this on WP:TOOSOON grounds. ~Kvng (talk) 20:32, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * WP:TOOSOON applies here as well. News breaking of two police officers shot in Philadelphia on the Fourth of July doesn't automatically equate to a Wikipedia article. Love of Corey (talk) 03:31, 21 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete I searched for sources and was unable to find a single news article published after July 7; most news sources stopped covering this attack after July 5. An event that gets only a few days of media coverage falls firmly under the banner of WP:NOTNEWS. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 02:51, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion in the encyclopedia and this is no exception; there is no evidence of enduring notability. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 18:14, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
