The result was keep. The clear consensus was to keep this article. There was also a discussion about the relationship of this article to Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting and Reactions to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, which was out of scope for this AfD. What material should go in each of those three articles should be discussed on the talk pages of those articles. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:08, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
This is borderline if not completely original research. It is a collection of gun control laws, commentary and reactions that occurred after the Sandy Hook shooting which in essence is original research. Mrfrobinson ( talk) 20:52, 23 March 2014 (UTC) 19:18, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
Delete. Biased article implies that this incident is far worse than others, per Scalhotrod. Article is WP:UNDUE. Mr. Guye ( talk) 00:45, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
Questions: 1. There are discussions about "gun control after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting" in
... so why do we need a separate, "Gun control after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting" article?
2. Why was there never a "Gun control after the Cleveland Elementary School shooting (Stockton)" article? That shooting was what fired up the gun-control debate in the 1990s.
3. If we're going to keep this article, shouldn't we edit the two articles above so that they're briefer, more summarized, and quit developing the gun-control parts of those?
4. If we're going to keep this article, should we create a "Gun control after the [Cleveland Elementary School shooting (Stockton)" article?
Questions 2 and 4 are rhetorical questions worth pondering. Would such an article now be relevant? The Assault Weapons Ban of 2013 article - also nominated for deletion - is narrow, specific, but most importantly, WP:SIGCOV in its own right. This one is broad, non-specific, and probably subject to recentism problems like becoming a bloated, rambling, disorganized WP:COATRACK mess. Lightbreather ( talk) 16:18, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
Holy cow! I just clicked on the "Find sources: Gun control after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting" link above, and on the "Find sources" link on the AfD discussion page for the AWB 2013 article. The difference between the quality and the quantity of hits is remarkable. "Gun control after..." 19 results; the top are yahoo.com polls and NRA-ILA articles. "Assault Weapons Ban of 2013" 144,000 results; the top are .gov and mainstream news sources. Lightbreather ( talk) 16:34, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
