The result was redirect to 2017 Weis Markets shooting. Per WP:SNOW. We have unanimous support for a redirect to the longer article, including from an IP who claims to be the creator. The nominator is of course free to nominate the pre-existing target article, if he feels the same issues apply. (non-admin closure) Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:43, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Given that statement, why are there several articles for shootings and other newsworth events both past and present? The article isn't one-sides, it isn't trying to uncover something big, so why try to get rid of it? If the article is able to stay up, this tragic shooting can be remembered. - Joinedtomakeonearticle (talk) 22:35, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
 * See WP:EVENT for why some events have articles and others don't. Wikipedia tries to document events of lasting historical importance. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:05, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete and redirect. Duplicate of 2017 Weis Markets shooting which is a longer and better article. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:07, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect per Colapeninsula. Possible A10 candidate as duplicate of 2017 Weis Markets shooting. New article does not appear to add anything that is not in the established article. • Gene93k (talk) 15:01, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey so ya thanks for pointing me out to the actual article. I literally could not find it when I googled it or searched here before but now that I see it and it's better than this, go ahead and delete it. I'm the OP by the way I just forgot the password because, as the name implied, I joined just to make that article. 2602:306:C502:6110:92B:D93A:E7A5:40FD (talk) 20:56, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to the more substantial article as suggested by others. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:04, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
