no evidence of continuing interest or general significance. Google brings up mainly other shootings in the town.  DGG ( talk ) 18:38, 9 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Oppose Strong Keep If you search up "Pukekohe massacre", you will find some. Additionally, there seems to be a lot of media articles on the subject that establish its notability. Massacres of such sort are relatively rare in New Zealand. Dunutubble (talk) 18:43, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
 * In addition to this, The New Zealand government website has an article devoted solely to this massacre.  Dunutubble (talk) 18:46, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: searching up "Brian Schlaepfer" on Google Scholar will reveal a vast wealth of references to the mass shootings. Dunutubble (talk) 18:58, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

 * KeepI see it cited as the most high profile shooting in NZ history and it's well cited, seems like a clear notable incident and keep. CT55555 (talk) 22:37, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - This event and the Aramoana massacre are the two NZ shooting events that resulted in major amendments to the New Zealand firearms legislation in 1992. A move that abolished lifetime firearms licences, and required licences to be reassessed every 10 years, a highly controversial and politically sensitive change at the time. More people died in this murder-suicide than in the Bain family murders, so it could be considered New Zealand's worst family murder, too. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 10:03, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Having an exclusive entry on NZ History is a clear indication that GNG is met.  Schwede 66  14:12, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
