The extensive media coverage of this event in multiple reliable sources cited in New_Life_Church_shooting#References clearly establishes a presumption of notability pursuant to the criteria established in the general notability guideline. WP:NOT#NEWS has also been advanced as an argument for deletion. Whatever the merits of ever raising WP:NOT#NEWS in any deletion discussion without claiming serious WP:BLP issues [1], WP:NOT#NEWS clearly does not furnish a valid rationale for deletion here. Indeed, WP:NOT#NEWS expressly states that "topics in the news may also be encyclopedic subjects when the sources are substantial"; the massive media coverage of this event cited in New_Life_Church_shooting#References would therefore suggest that it is, indeed, an "encyclopedic subject". The purely subjective assertions of non-notability advanced by editors supporting deletion of this article fail to outweigh the presumption of notability established via the general notability guideline through objective evidence.A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
