Sadly, incidents like school shootings aren't that uncommon, we simply can't document every single one on Wikipedia. Cyber the tiger (talk) 14:36, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2024 November 11. —cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 15:03, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Crime and Michigan. Shellwood (talk) 15:38, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- Keep - There is no valid policy basis for this nomination. It has been covered by many reliable sources and has high notability considering it is a first, according to this text from the article: "James and Jennifer Crumbley were the first US parents to be charged with having responsibility for a mass school shooting by a child." - Fuzheado | Talk 18:09, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

- Keep - For the legal issues, this event is newsworthy and Wikipedia-notable. David notMD (talk) 19:04, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- Keep This was a widely-covered event... even if we cannot cover "every" such incident, this incident is notable enough for Wikipedia. Casinator (talk) 22:44, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- Keep - Did someone draw a line in the sand that put an exact number on how many is too many, or not enough? Re how many, please have a glance at the article's two bottom nav boxes, as well as the large lists of categories of the same subject. — Maile (talk) 23:40, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- Keep some aren’t notable, but some are. If it gets significant, analytical and continued coverage it is. Trying to judge based on our own opinions how important it is instead of going by how covered it was by sources is dumb. PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:37, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Keep Known shooting that was significantly covered. I don't even have to explain why to keep it into detail, as it is one of the pretty known shootings. Bloxzge 025 (talk) 02:12, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. Wide international coverage in reliable sources. WWGB (talk) 02:47, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Snow Keep - there is detailed coverage for this event, from the day it occurred, through the manhunt for the parents, and through their trial. This tragic event is a legal landmark case, and there wasn't any valid reasons given for deletion. This should be closed immediately. It was a very misguided nomination. 4.37.252.50 (talk) 03:47, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- Please note that there are probably some school shooting articles that are marginal, but this definitely isn't one. As far as importance goes, this event is up there with Columbine, Parkland and Sandy Hook in the vital coverage of school shootings. 4.37.252.50 (talk) 04:04, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- Keep Notable event that should be archived. All shootings should be documented until they ARE uncommon again. JustCopewithit (talk) 00:31, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Snow Keep - No valid reason given for deleting this well-sourced and lengthy article. I see no reason for continuing with this nomination. Scs52 (talk) 14:25, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
