Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Firearms

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Firearms. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Firearms|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Firearms. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Firearms AfD

Long family murder–suicide

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Well written, but just one of many familicides that happen across the nation every year, nor is it even the deadliest one. Perhaps the most notable aspect of the incident is that the mother was the perpetrator, as it is usually a male, but I do not believe this allows it to meet the notability criteria. WP:NOTNEWS Point 4 of WP:EVENTCRITERIA: Routine news events, regardless of how tragic or widely reported at the time, are usually not notable. Raskuly (talk) 02:50, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Crime, Firearms, United States of America, and New Hampshire. Raskuly (talk) 02:50, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:NOTNEWS and WP:NEVENT. Per WP:N/CA there must be WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE and WP:DIVERSE sourcing that extends beyond the immediate news cycle after event. That requires time and distance. It's clearly WP:TOOSOON for those types of sources to exist.4meter4 (talk) 02:58, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I realize the associated image should also be deleted if the result is deletion, but I'm unsure whether or not I should begin the nomination process yet. Raskuly (talk) 03:04, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Although tragic events of the sort unfortunately happen across the country every year, I believe what particularly stands out about this familicide is not only that it was perpetrated by the mother, but the fact that it took place in a small town in one of the safest states in America, where you least expect an incident like this. As the murder only occurred a week ago, we cannot be too sure that it will fail WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE. The diversity of sources isn't much of an issue either, as I've gathered reports from multiple outlets including local newspapers and national news websites. There could be more updates ahead and given the situation it seems quite possible that the significance of this event is lasting. FromNH (talk) 23:40, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
