Keep Because my article is very notable and I’ve included it in articles like
Punta Gorda, Florida and
Punta Gorda Middle School. The purpose of this article is to discuss a fight that occurred in May 2005. I don’t see any reason to have this article deleted. —

Delete AND salt Another 'cable news outrage of the day' story from before the days when a certain man now in Washington took over the American news channels; without it, this is a local story (and it certainly doesn't belong in the local article for the city...and that middle school article needs a redirect). I've removed the story from the PGMS and city article because those subjects have well-founded
WP:BLP concerns mentioning a minor crime story in a city and school history. Nate•(

And finally See this
BLP minefield in userspace where the article is even worse...and in a blocked userspace to boot. Nate•(

Additional comment As article creator shows no regard to respecting the privacy of those involved in this story, I have switched my vote! to delete and salt as they seem to
not understand why this article is a BLP nightmare and are likely to re-create it anew. Nate•(

Mrschimpf,
Now at MfD. It's a shame there isn't an XfD venue for multi-page nominations across namespaces.

WP:NOTNEWS. There's no evidence that this incident has had any enduring significance.

Delete per
WP:NOTNEWS. The nominator agreed yesterday to stop nominating articles for CSD and AfD. He agreed he did not have enough experience. So something needs to be done. A school bus fight in 2005 is not news unless it has further consequences for the participants or the community concerned. --

Whiteguru, The nominator didn't even provide a valid deletion rationale in this case (that previous iterations were deleted (for whatever reason) doesn't explain why this one should be). If it wasn't for the subsequent participation of others, this would have been eligible for speedy keep per
WP:SKCRIT#1.

Comment Not withstanding how this was nominated, the way the page creator is trying to influence a keep (and the sockpuppetry demonstrated below) pretty well disqualifies this from a SK1 at this point. Nate•(

Keep THIS IS NOTABLE! I’m trying to introduce the bus fight to Wikipedia. I’ve included sources, including from MSNBC and CNN. This is unfair. Instead of trying to delete the article, maybe work on it more. I vote keep again. —

Comment There are sources covering the fight. It's even covered by CNN and MSNBC (as shown in the video by Contessa Brewer). I've included sources.
This one is a good example. It talks about how it overdramatize the news. Another good example is
this one. which shows other school violence incidents during the 2004 - 2005 school year. It proves that those two boys attended
Punta Gorda Middle School. There is time to save this article before it gets deleted. --

There is the article
AC Transit Bus fight@
Mrschimpf:. If the
AC Transit Bus fight can have a article, so can the Punta Gorda bus fight. This article can stay and improvements can be made to the article before it gets deleted. We can give the Punta Gorda bus fight article a chance. There is time to save the article from deletion. Copyediting would be a good start. If no improvements can be made, it can be deleted. --

All of the charges involved with this incident have either been dropped, or long expired. I repeat again;
WP:BLP is a serious matter. You have actually redirected the names of the subjects involved to this article, which I am asking for speedy deletion on. This had no long term effect on the city of Punta Gorda, its school system, or Charlotte County, Florida. No case law was established because of this incident. The latter link should be deleted too, but it at least pushed out a Hollywood film, so I have no cause to delete that myself. Stop ceasing on continuing to push this story. Nate•(
chatter) 01:26, 12 September 2020 (UTC)reply
@
Mrschimpf: This article needs to stay point and blank. It is part of the history of Punta Gorda. Page 88 in
this book covers the fight as well. As I've said, we can work on this article and add improvements to it. We can do copyediting to the article as well. --
