Proposed new entry: 2018 School Shootings in the USA

[edit]

This entry may end up deleted due to insufficient notoriety, but 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) 18:25, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
