Nationals Park shooting

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Active shooter scares are WP:NOTNEWS, and in this case, the article was clearly created too quickly. No deaths or substantial amount of injuries, an incident contained to a personal squabble, and an instant drop in national media coverage after a day or two equal no WP:LASTING qualifications for an article.

 * Delete This is not a significant active shooting incident, this is a "routine" inner-city drive-by shooting that happened to occur near a sports stadium. (JayPlaysStuff &#124; talk to me &#124; What I've been up to) 00:52, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:NOTNEWS with no lasting impact. KidAd  •  SPEAK  01:21, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Too Bad a solid article. I cannot disagree with the participants at this time. I might circle back. Lightburst (talk) 01:31, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. No deaths, no lasting significance. WWGB (talk) 01:58, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Still a horrible event and the article is well-written, but unfortunately this just isn't a noteworthy-enough event to warrant an article on Wikipedia. Waddles 🗩 🖉 02:11, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge a succinct summary into the Nationals Park article. There is an existing section there titled "2021 shooting", but lacks detail. That the event caused an MLB game to be suspended is worthy of being noted in the history of the ballpark. Dmoore5556 (talk) 02:49, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect The article is already so "succinct" that you could just copy and paste most of it into the main article. Mlb96 (talk) 04:51, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge to Nationals Park. Not notable enough for its own article, but enough of an unusual incident be mentioned in the article about the park. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 13:13, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
