Keep - in what sense is it less notable than the Belgium attack? Both have plenty of news articles about them. This resulted in 3 deaths, whereas the Belgium attack only resulted in twice that number, which is no big difference.--3 times 3 is 9 (talk) 23:25, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And to add to my point, what makes this less worthy for Wikipedia than the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum shooting which resulted in less deaths? That article exists and a separate article exists about the perpetrator as well.--3 times 3 is 9 (talk) 00:51, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~. Merge with 2011 Florence shootings. I think as a general rule notorious slayings like this are notable. But I don't like comments trying to justify on the basis of other articles at the best of times, but much less so with crimes. --Legis (talk - contribs) 08:45, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge This is the same article as 2011 Florence shootings. However, it is definitely notable. WP:NOTNEWS states that news items with enduring notability should be included. Poyani (talk) 16:31, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - for now...--BabbaQ (talk) 17:12, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as above. It's been covered in the Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, Le Monde and the BBC, which seems to indicate notability.Autarch (talk) 20:20, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Having created the article, I am happy for the article to re-direct to 2011 Florence shootings and this debate can be closed.--3 times 3 is 9 (talk) 23:14, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
