List of school massacres in the United States

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Content fork of List of school shootings in the United States, created as an end run around an inability to gain consensus for adding duplicate content. Suggest restoring redirect, but any attempt would likely be reverted, so bringing it to AfD to check for consensus. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon &bull; videos) 21:23, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:CFORK. Protect article from recreation if necessary. Ajf773 (talk) 00:38, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete/Redirect - per nom. Doesn't seem like a necessary second article. No merge given it looks like it was reverted multiple times from the main article and is already in the history there. Whether to include this sub-group should be discussed on that talk page first. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 00:49, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete/Redirect per above. No need for a separate article. Lepricavark (talk) 04:00, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Reverse redirect. Not every shooting is a massacre, and not every massacre is a shooting - e.g. Enoch Brown school massacre mostly involved melee weapons. It is also possible there are other school massacres involving bombs and knives (or other deadly implements) and not guns. I do not think there should be two lists (though one could have two lists - they aren't exactly content forks) - however if we have one list - it should be this one - List of school massacres in the United States as it is more inclusive in terms of weaponry used to commit the massacre.Icewhiz (talk) 08:01, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect as clear content fork. Best, Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 18:17, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge This is best added to Gun violence in the United States as a sub-section, not as a stand alone article.  C. W. Gilmore (talk) 21:27, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
