A mentally incompetent man shoots two people, killing one. Do we really need to record that here for eternity? Are we helping either of the BLPs involved in this by naming them here? Yes, it got some attention, news loves shootings and trials, but in the end this has no lasting impact, no new laws, no criminal gangs uncovered, no mastermind behind bars...

Delete Another senseless article from the true crime part of our project that really needs to be better about sensitivity and notability; this simply is neither. Nathannah • 📮 14:19, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, appears to be a run-of-the-mill shooting (no better way to describe something like the in the United States unfortunately) lacking in notable coverage. Esolo5002 (talk) 15:07, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
