Mazakuka mosque shooting

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Non-notable crime, no sustained coverage beyond the sequence of events. Wikipedia is not a repository of news stories. The big ugly alien ( talk ) 21:55, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Comment Given the political situation in Nigeria, this almost certainly can be selectively merged/redirected somewhere (and given the relatively high death toll and the fact it's terrorism I feel it should be noted, somewhere, though not as its own article) however there is not enough detail in the article itself for me to suggest a target. Hm. I'll look into that later. PARAKANYAA (talk) 23:06, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Know you? I think to clarify I know your voting intentions to always vote keep. LibStar (talk) 03:59, 12 April 2024 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Star   Mississippi  21:58, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete No lasting coverage to meet WP:EVENT. LibStar (talk) 10:07, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. Satisfies WP:GNG. Seventeen deaths is significant. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:29, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * The number of deaths is not a criterion for notability and needs lasting coverage to meet WP:EVENT. LibStar (talk) 22:01, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Say that about any such attack in a western country and you'd be laughed out of court! -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:47, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * As an admin you should know it's not a criterion. Secondly, WP:NOTNEWS overrides GNG, otherwise every event reported in the news would get an article. Have you found any lasting coverage? LibStar (talk) 22:22, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Really? WP:SYSTEMIC isn't a criterion now? I beg to differ. And since when does anything override GNG? -- Necrothesp (talk) 07:47, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * There was a fire near my home that was reported in the media, it may satisfy GNG but it is definitely a case of not news. Have you found any evidence of lasting coverage of this shooting? Did you bother to look? LibStar (talk) 08:23, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * This article may meet GNG but consensus is showing NOTNEWS. Articles for deletion/2023 Ujjain rape case. LibStar (talk) 08:27, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Relevant how? A single rape against the multiple murder of seventeen people. Both horrendous but not comparing like with like. -- Necrothesp (talk) 20:09, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * knowing you, you would argue GNG in this rape case. Have you found any evidence of lasting coverage of this shooting? LibStar (talk) 22:09, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * How about this shooting? 2023 Beverly Crest shooting, meets GNG but NOTNEWS applies. LibStar (talk) 23:35, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I take it from you avoiding the question of finding lasting coverage of this shooting that you did a thorough search and could not find anything. Or you'll invent some sort of excuse. If 17 deaths is significant, is 2 or 3 deaths insignificant? Or if you can point to a notability criteria that grants notability for 17 deaths. Thanks in advance. LibStar (talk) 08:23, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * knowing you, you would argue GNG in this rape case. You don't know me. Stop making incorrect assumptions and WP:AGF. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:18, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Have you actually found lasting coverage to meet WP:EVENT? It is extremely disturbing that you continually avoid this question. The Beverly Crest shooting got deleted as per NOTNEWS even though it might have met GNG. LibStar (talk) 09:29, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I also refer to WP:SUSTAINED which also says we don't create articles on news events. LibStar (talk) 11:32, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 2021 in Nigeria. If we end up with WP:SUSTAINED coverage in the future, we can always spin this back out. -- asilvering (talk) 03:55, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete WP:NOTNEWS, WP:LASTING, WP:DEPTH. LizardJr8 (talk) 00:17, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect per, or smerge (selectively merge) as needed. Bearian (talk) 18:44, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge to Nigerian bandit conflict. This seems to have been part of Nigeria's banditry/ethnic issues more broadly, and the sources discuss it in that context. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:14, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
