Killing of Robert Delgado

References and web search don't indicate this rises above routine coverage. Entry at List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States, April 2021 is sufficient. Star Garnet (talk) 17:20, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep I see a lot of reliable media coverage of this event. It is notable and therefore meets the criteria for inclusion. CT55555 (talk) 00:44, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

 * To expand: On a world-scale, the media covers thousands of murders/killings/unnatural deaths at a high level of detail annually. It is not WP's place to compile that information, or even the few hundred that were covered most closely. Wikinews, sure. The four articles I nominated for deletion after browsing through the 30-odd 2021 murder/killing/death of X articles fall short of the others in level of news analysis and impact on outside events (I'm also skeptical of plenty of the others, but I could at least see a competent argument for them meeting at least one of the WP:EVENTCRITERIA). While they certainly received signicant coverage in the media, that is in the form of news reports. We don't have the secondary sources to satisfy SIGCOV. Could this incident gain notability through a book, law, or otherwise? Sure, in the way that some of today's paintings may get articles in 40 years. But until they have gained that secondary coverage, these are WP:NOTMEMORIAL material. While this incident may have initially appeared to have the potential to have a WP:LASTING impact, that has not been the case, and seems unlikely to. Star Garnet (talk) 16:32, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep, for the reasons of those who want to keep this article. Davidgoodheart (talk) 22:15, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. This police involved shooting is not a routine "killing". Since the death of George Floyd, Police legitimacy in the USA has become subject to protests as well as some commentary by academics. If this article is deleted then it is likely that content will be inappropriately added to articles like George Floyd protests in Portland, Oregon. Keeping this article provides a home for this content, rather than having it added elsewhere. Because of the current high profile of police involved shootings in the USA, it is likely that more article like this are going to be created by contributors. Give this article time to develop, as there is probably more to come on the subject. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 09:13, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
