Keep on procedural grounds without thorough review I'd like to see some specifics related to this article from the nominator before it goes through this whole process. Large amount of nominations of shooting articles, with only boilerplate type wording (nothing indicating specific review of the article) given as the rationale. many of which clearly meet notability, North8000 (talk) 19:40, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- To me it looks like a run of the mill senseless murder with two one fatality and two people wounded. There are hundreds of killings with that number of victims a day. How sad it is, it is not something special or notable. The article does not give (hints to) evidence of wider impact or far reaching consequences.

Keep - per North8000.--BabbaQ (talk) 22:31, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. As far as school shootings go, this one isn't/wasn't terribly notable. It did, however, get some national coverage (i.e. The New York Times, MSNBC/AP). I would be OK with a redirect and merge to Campbell County Comprehensive High School. Location (talk) 01:37, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to article on high school. Fails WP:EVENT as it lacks nontrivial coverage (eg. not just being named in a more-or-less comprehensive list of school shootings) after the initial news cycle, but the article on the school is a stub and this is certainly more important than the outdated sports statistics that one usually finds in high school articles. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 04:39, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Article is extensively sourced. The vague handwave argument by nominator, "not notable", is an insult to the creator who undoubtedly worked hard on the article. A bunch of other good articles were nominated for deletion and all will result in the same SNOW KEEP. If this immature disruption continues I will go to ANI. That's a promise.--brew crewer (yada, yada) 04:59, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I like the ad hominem remarks and threats without real arguments. But I repeat my opinion for you: To me it looks like a run of the mill senseless murder with one fatality and two people wounded. There are hundreds of killings with that number of victims a day. How sad it is, it is not something special or notable. The article does not give (hints to) evidence of wider impact or far reaching consequences. Night of the Big Wind _talk 11:04, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: All shooting articles procureally per North8000. If you expect me to take time to judge these nominations, don't flip em out like sausages on a grinder.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 04:15, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

or, merge to high school. no reason to delete content.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 04:16, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
