The result was delete. While the topic of defensive gun use is certainly a notable one, this is not a general article on the subject but a list of incidents. Realistically, this list should include every time it was noted by the press that anyone ever defended themselves with a firearm outside of a law enforcement or military context. This would mean documenting hundreds of thousands pf incidents over the course of the last 800 years. How to determine which incidents were legitimate self defense and which were not is not clearly defined, and of course the point is raised repeatedly that this list is unlikely to ever be anywhere near complete. While in most cases that is not really a valid argument, in this case the difference between what we have now and what it would be if it were honestly made into a real list of such incidents is a staggeringly wide gap. I find as a matter of policy-based arguments that consensus favors having an article on this subject, but this list is not that article. Beeblebrox ( talk) 17:34, 22 December 2012 (UTC) reply

This is copied from the prior AFD. These are the quotes from several of the studies used as sources in the article thus far, and the criteria used by those studies. The studies' criteria closly match the criteria for inclusion used by the article.
*comment regarding criteria (as well as showing notability of the overall list topic) (copied on article talk) There have been several US and international studies which have done research into the occurence of defensive gun use. These various studies have used various methodologies and slightly different criteria to measure DGUs, here is a brief summary of what they measured, which can be used to judge the appropriateness of the criteria for inclusion in this article, and possible changes.

While this article was kept at AFD a few months ago, subsequent discussion, or lack thereof, has shown no interest in fixing the problems identified in the close, defining its scope, providing any sources, or otherwise justifying its existence. This is a completely synthesized list with a grossly obvious POV aim, that of fabricating some sort of proof that the land which now includes the state of Israel has always belonged to Jews.
See Talk:List of Jewish leaders in the Land of Israel, where I explain many of the reasons this list is unencyclopedic: among them, that the definition of "leader" is arbitrary (no attempt is made to distinguish between political and spiritual leaders even when such a distinction actually did exist; people with minimal power, like Mattathias, are included because they're Jewish icons, while party leaders are excluded), that users who want to keep the article as is have refused to provide sources after being asked repeatedly, and that there is no encyclopedic common link between, say, Jewish subordinate rulers under other empires and modern PMs. – Roscelese ( talk ⋅ contribs) 20:07, 14 December 2012 (UTC) reply

Fails general notabilty criteria. Uses the global chart at Box Office Mojo to construct a list of "highest overseas grossers". There is plenty of RS coverage of the US and worldwide charts to establish them individually as notable topics, but the "overseas" chart is just a by-product of these two charts i.e. it is not notable in its own right, since it is contextually dependent on the notablity of the other two charts. It exists solely to offer perspective on the US box office and how much of the global market it accounts for, so it doesn't makes sense to just list it on its own.
There are inherent WP:WORLDVIEW problems with the scope of the article too, since there is an "overseas" chart for every national chart. Betty Logan ( talk) 04:51, 6 December 2012 (UTC) reply

Has only played in the Segunda División B & lower therefore he fails WP:NFOOTY as a player. As for his coaching career although he is a goalkeeping coach at a fully professional side that doesn't infer notability as WP:NFOOTY doesn't refer to goalkeeping coaches, therefore he must pass WP:GNG which he doesn't. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 20:52, 14 December 2012 (UTC) reply

While this article was kept at AFD a few months ago, subsequent discussion, or lack thereof, has shown no interest in fixing the problems identified in the close, defining its scope, providing any sources, or otherwise justifying its existence. This is a completely synthesized list with a grossly obvious POV aim, that of fabricating some sort of proof that the land which now includes the state of Israel has always belonged to Jews.
See Talk:List of Jewish leaders in the Land of Israel, where I explain many of the reasons this list is unencyclopedic: among them, that the definition of "leader" is arbitrary (no attempt is made to distinguish between political and spiritual leaders even when such a distinction actually did exist; people with minimal power, like Mattathias, are included because they're Jewish icons, while party leaders are excluded), that users who want to keep the article as is have refused to provide sources after being asked repeatedly, and that there is no encyclopedic common link between, say, Jewish subordinate rulers under other empires and modern PMs. – Roscelese ( talk ⋅ contribs) 20:07, 14 December 2012 (UTC) reply

Non-notable biography. Fails WP:GNG with no Google News search or Google News Archive search hits that constitute significant and independent coverage from a reliable source. In my opinion, the subject fails WP:POLITICIAN but depending on your interpretation, may satisfy point one. The point is vague regarding a "statewide office" and where in hierarchy the line is drawn. I feel that it's referring to an elected official and would not reach the "director of cabinet affairs". OlYeller21 Talktome 05:59, 14 December 2012 (UTC) reply

Fails general notabilty criteria. Uses the global chart at Box Office Mojo to construct a list of "highest overseas grossers". There is plenty of RS coverage of the US and worldwide charts to establish them individually as notable topics, but the "overseas" chart is just a by-product of these two charts i.e. it is not notable in its own right, since it is contextually dependent on the notablity of the other two charts. It exists solely to offer perspective on the US box office and how much of the global market it accounts for, so it doesn't makes sense to just list it on its own.
There are inherent WP:WORLDVIEW problems with the scope of the article too, since there is an "overseas" chart for every national chart. Betty Logan ( talk) 04:51, 6 December 2012 (UTC) reply

Does not meet GNG. His bio data is sourced to his own website. The triangle he created has no RS to support its notability. Everything blue-linked in the article is not notable either. I assume his claim to fame was that he "co-developed" something with a founder of PGP, but in fact, he is part of a much larger development team, not a one-man show, and the source never claimed that.

The subject of this article has no particular notability, certainly not enough by WP standards. Furthermore, the article is even more problematic due to the fact that it was started by the artist himself under the username User:Onzart and he has continued to edit the article under User:SLKozhin and possibly other usernames and IPs, all of which clearly violates WP policy, not to mention basic etiquette and a host of other guidelines.

The only coverage I can find is crime-related incidents as well as trivial mentions, which is not per WP:GNG and WP:ORG enough to contain an article on this topic.
