Redirect to List of school shootings in the United States#2010s. This should have just been a speedy redirect, no WP:LASTING coverage as Stoneman D. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:15, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- "It may take weeks or months to determine whether or not an event has a lasting effect." It's been a day. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:38, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - And in that day, nothing substantial has come up. This story is over. -- Veggies (talk) 20:35, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect to List of school shootings in the United States#2010s (it's already there, but it could use some more info). If more information comes out it can be spun back out, but for now there isn't enough to merit an article. ansh 666 21:13, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect - Too soon for a news story. Only when or if this has any historical significance, do you create an article, not before.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 23:14, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect It may be useful to include a summary of the information in an entry about school shootings in general. Existing entries such as List of school shootings in the United States are not time limited, hence they are long and unwieldy. There is notoriety in the pattern of school shootings so far in 2018 because they are getting increased media coverage, with a new protest movement, 2018 United States gun violence protests organized since the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Shooting. A new entry would provide a place to show information about smaller-scale shootings that are referred to in the public debate about gun laws.

If no new important information comes to light and the information in this entry is not moved to another page, I would support deletion on the basis that it lacks enough notoriety to be a separate Wikipedia entry. At the start of the one-day incident there was a chance it could develop into a more significant event. Once the incident was over it became clear that it was a domestic violence incident that, while it tragically cost two lives, does not have more notoriety than what happens hundreds of times a year in the USA.EvidenceFairy (talk) 18:30, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
