Notability

This article is subject of deletion because the Subject is known only for one event - I dispute this because he shot three people and killed one of them over two days, unless of course you wish to include this period of time as one event. And he is the centre of a national manhunt (in the United Kingdom) - signed by user Arthur Roberts.

I agree that this should not be deleted, as Derrick Bird has an in-depth article for a similar event. This is a major national news story in the UK. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.23.232.41 (talk) 08:35, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I guess the answer to whether this becomes a strong keep, will be sadly on how the events of the next few days pan out.

This is noteworthy, an historic event currently taking place. It neeeds to stay Prestonmag (talk) 12:10, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thankfully, any multiple shooting is notable in the United Kingdom. It may not be so if it were to occur in the United States! Skinsmoke (talk) 14:03, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Title

Should this not be moved to 2010 Northumbria shootings? The 1989 Monkseaton shootings also occurred in Northumbria. Skinsmoke (talk) 14:13, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. --Joopercoopers (talk) 14:30, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed BritishWatcher (talk) 14:34, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Should we not now disambiguate Northumbria shootings? TheRetroGuy (talk) 15:26, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Would be better to keep that as a redirect here, but could put a link at the top of the article linking to that other shooting. BritishWatcher (talk) 15:35, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Easy either way - but shouldn't it be Northumbrian Shootings - although to date, they've all been on tyne and wear I think? --Joopercoopers (talk) 15:38, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Northumbria doesn't even exist any more does it? --86.136.20.134 (talk) 15:42, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not as a county, but in the mind maybe. Well the whole thing is being handled by the Northumbrian police for one thing. --Joopercoopers (talk) 15:47, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

2010 Northumbria shootings is ambiguous and still requires a separate page for Raoul Thomas Moat, which I created in the first place. By all means have a Northumbria shootings page, as long as you continue the theme by creating county specific shootings pages (an absurd possibility). Transfer this page back to its original title!

Mention of the IPCC?

Would a section on the investigation into the polices handling of the incident be justified yet? At the moment it would just need to mention the IPCC being called into investigate it after it was revealed they had a warning from the prison. Such a section will certainly be needed in the future, if theres somewhere else the IPCC being called in can be added for the time being that would be fine instead.

Go for it - there's a ref at the bottom of this article. --Joopercoopers (talk) 15:26, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
