Mass shootings in Israel

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unlike the Mass shootings in the United States article, the topic of mass shootings in Israel is not a particularly well-studied and well-sourced phenomenon, and that much shows in the content of this article. While two mass shootings in a country's recorded modern history would be considered particularly unique, they are not part of some broader, long-lasting trend or pattern of concern like it is in the U.S. Therefore, an article cannot reasonably be dedicated to this kind of topic.

 * Comment - I am also nominating the following related pages because they also deal with mass shootings in countries that don't have historic problems with such crimes and are therefore not well-developed in terms of topic and content:

 * Delete Multiple sources    demonstrate that Israel specifically does not possess a culture of mass shootings. Having an article like this would be similar to having an article about seaside resorts in Alaska. Are there beaches and resorts in Alaska? Yes, but not in the same way we imagine them in Mexico. In a similar vein, there have been massacres and even mass shootings in Israel, but as the nominator has said, these do not correlate with the same concept known to us from the U.S., for in Israel they mostly revolve around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

 * Delete them all. There is a common thread running through these articles that seeks to delineate how many mass shooting victims there are per 100,000 people, and to that I say Wikipedia is not a directory. There is no need for these articles when we have a Category:Mass shootings by country, where most on that list do not have or need a "main article" of dubious importance to go with them.

 * Alright, thank you very much for your input. Love of Corey (talk) 06:13, 22 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete. This appears to me to be a WP:FORK of Palestinian law and its incarnations; see Talk:Palestinian law. Bearian (talk) 17:28, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete all per nom and the choice of years chosen for the 'mass shooting rate between xxxx and xxxx' seems ridiculously arbitrary Spiderone  23:07, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom. In relation to Mass shootings in Belgium, I note that "fusillade de masse", the literal French translation of mass shooting, was such a new term in 2019 that the Belgian press put it in scare quotes. Even a cursory search shows that the term is almost exclusively used in reference to the United States. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brigade Piron (talk • contribs)
