 * Keep seems notable. BLP1E is irrelevant since this is not the BLP article but the event article. The article has just been created, you shouldn't have nominated it for deletion this early.-- SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 05:44, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, we are not a news site. This happened fucking yesterday, there is absolutely no way this can possible satisfy WP:N (which demands that topics have gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time) at this early stage. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 12:17, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing seems out of the ordinary, by police shooting standards (at least from early reports). InedibleHulk (talk) 01:40, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete This violates not news guidelines.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:50, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - It doesn't look like a lot of unique info can be provided for the article at this moment. Love of Corey (talk) 23:24, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep SharabSalam is correct. Since the article is not about a person, let alone a living one, but instead an event, it is outside the scope of WP:BLP1E. The relevant guideline is also not WP:N, but specifically Notability (events). Additionally, this nomination seems very premature, as not by other users, hardly two days have passed. In terms of notability, Times has an article regarding the shooting and it stands out from other shootings because it was streamed live online. &mdash;The Editor's Apprentice (talk) 00:47, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
 * This is incorrect in a number of ways. All notability guidelines are subsidiary to the standards of WP:N. The subject-specific guidelines simply provide scope and guidance for judging notability for particular topics. Even if you insist we go by WP:EVENT, you're still wrong, because the nutshell at the top of that page reads as follows: An event is presumed to be notable if it has lasting major consequences or affects a major geographical scope, or receives significant non-routine coverage that persists over a period of time. Coverage should be in multiple reliable sources with national or global scope.It's not the nomination that's premature, but the article's creation - two days is far from enough time to determine if the coverage "persists over a period of time". One Time article two days later does not constitute persistent coverage. Live streaming crime is hardly unique these days, so the circumstances do not automatically grant it notability, not unless reliable independent sources cover it at a wide scale for a length of time, indicating some kind of lasting social impact. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 02:21, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Speaking of time, Time is a singular magazine, not like those online newspapers people sometimes call "the Times". InedibleHulk (talk) 08:57, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per WWGB - also, if an event article's main focus is a person and includes their biographical detail, of course it's covered by WP:BLP1E. Ref (chew) (do) 05:04, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete after seeing that nobody is expanding the article, I changed my vote to delete. Mysticair667537 (talk) 14:46, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
