North Park Elementary School shooting

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

this is a domestic violence issue that spilled into the workplace. Since when did WP:NOTNEWS cease to be a thing? It happened yesterday. Obviously, we cannot know if it will have the enduring coverage required to keep a crime story, nor can we know if it will have a lasting impact, altho an educated guess can be made on that. It won't. The only way this should stay is if we are going to completely disavow WP:NOTNEWS. John from Idegon (talk) 23:09, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. The Article cites 17 sources, most of them independent of each other. WP:NotNews pertains to first-hand journalism. Wikipedia is not itself a news site, but when several actual news services consider something worth reporting, that makes it notable. Whether it is an event that happened yesterday (at one extreme) or the Big Bang (at the other extreme), notable events are still notable wherever they fell on the calendar.

 * Keep: Passes WP:GNG. It is the first fatal school shooting of the year. It also followed the 2015 San Bernardino attack, which multiple WP:RS has noted. I would also like to note that WP:NOTNEWS refers to "such things as announcements, sports, and tabloid journalism", while WP:CRIME states, "As with other events, media coverage can confer notability on a high-profile criminal act." We don't make personal WP:CRYSTAL guesses about "enduring notability"; we assess the reliable sources. Cyrus the Penner (talk) 23:43, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep, sources indicate notability. Everyking (talk) 01:17, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Withdraw - Still disagree with the trend to turn us into a newspaper, but obviously this isn't the forum for it. John from Idegon (talk) 02:14, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
