This shooting does not appear to have drawn any sustained coverage outside of local routine coverage. Fails WP:NEVENT, particularly WP:LASTING. ~ Pbritti ( talk) 07:25, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

- Please consider the fact that because this happened in the United States events like these are quickly removed from the news cycle.

- Please consider doing this to other articles on the List of mass shootings in the United States article then since this article's deletion seems inevitable at this point right after you had my other article deleted. Raskuly ( talk) 10:52, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep - Note categories at the bottom of the article, and the navbox that has five years of shootings around the United States. Why delete this one, and keep all the rest? I'm surprised there is not a Wikipedia project for this subject.

- Those other shootings have sustained coverage because of their notable elements beyond the fact that multiple people were injured or killed (a tragic but non-notable event). For example,
this shooting that I remember happening near me a few years ago achieved nationwide sustained coverage beyond
ROUTINE due to the shooter's radicalization. ~

- Then could an argument in favor of keeping this article be that this is an instance of
gang-related violence in which the targets were apparent random individuals?

- Not unless this incident was characterized as notable for that reason and the incident received sustained coverage. Most smaller mass shootings (4–8 victims) do not meet this threshold. ~ Pbritti ( talk) 20:28, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
