An individual who commits suicide is not notable for the one event. Also issues with using a murderer infobox when as far as I know he is not. MilborneOne (talk) 12:51, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. People commit suicide every day, that is not notable. Article fails WP:NOT. WWGB (talk) 13:14, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BLP1E. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:18, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. The subject is not notable by himself; he is only known for the shooting. There is no information here that is not already included in Arapahoe High School shooting, and as it stands, not enough information on Pierson to make an independent article.

 * Redirect - Depending on the outcome of Articles for deletion/Arapahoe High School shooting, possible targets would be Arapahoe High School shooting and Arapahoe High School (Centennial, Colorado). This person has no notability outside of this one shooting event, so it would make sense to redirect to the place where the event is discussed. (Although as this person is now dead, BLP1E may not apply.) It's a likely search term for people interested in the shooting. Michaelzeng7 (talk) 16:44, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Why would somebody make an article about him? Many school shooters don't even have pages about themselves, let alone school shooters who only shot and wounded people. The Arapahoe High Schol shooting is even pending possible deletion. Please delete this unnecessary article ASAP. Cyanidethistles (talk) 21:57, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Arapahoe High School shooting-- Rockstone  talk to me!   02:54, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
 *  Redirect  to Arapahoe High School shooting. --Jax 0677 (talk) 19:33, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Arapahoe High School (Centennial, Colorado), or wherever the shooting article ends up after its AfD closes. He's covered on in the context of the single event and doesn't have the RS to establish broader notability. czar  ♔  05:02, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Not even a redirect. --DHeyward (talk) 22:43, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirects are cheap. The title is a very likely search term for people looking for him in connection to the shooting. Michaelzeng7 (talk) 19:19, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
 * For the same reason we don't need a redirect for his victim or the teacher. He is not relevant or notable and for the sake of his family he need not be immortalized.  More harm than good comes from naming him.  "student" and "shooter" cover the entire episode.  The names are irrelevant.  --DHeyward (talk) 15:44, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
