Orange Massacre

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Local event with little or no references available. The term "Orange Massacre" returns no ghits referring to this incident, nor does the name of the alleged offender. Local media references from 1992 does not a notable article make. X Marx The Spot (talk) 23:11, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete.  Obviously non-notable event.  The term "Orange Massacre" isn't really the name of the event; it was newspaper headline shorthand for "Massacre in Orange [California]".     Does not have multiple, independent sources.   While I'm sure the event is TRUE, it is not notable.  -- ShinmaWa(talk) 23:19, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete not sure if this is real.  Yahel  Guhan  05:45, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as part of a walled garden of hoaxes created by several single-purpose accounts. I can find no Google references to this alleged massacre, which was supposedly committed by a killer who was influenced by the rock group Popscops (article about this band has already been speedy deleted). Popscops, for which I can also find no Google references, was supposedly a right-wing rock group influenced by the obscure Founding Father Nathaniel Rall, for whom I can also find no Google references. I suspect that the creators of all three of the articles in question -- User:Choochoo9988 (contribs), User:Beboboo2300 all contributions deleted -- admins can check deleted contributions, and User:Jjjjjjjj409 (contribs), are, at a minimum, working in collaboration with each other, regardless of whether they are actually the same person. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:16, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete at the least it's nn, and this term is not in widespread use. JJL (talk) 14:03, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Sad story, but two people killed by a burglar is not generally considered a "massacre" except in a paper that uses "screaming headlines". Sad, but not any more notable than most crimes. Mandsford (talk) 20:51, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
