The result was keep‎. Bit early, but if I would've come across this earlier, I would've closed as snow keep. (non-admin closure) CLYDE ^{TALK TO ME}/_{STUFF DONE} 01:53, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A minor incident with one fatality (the shooter). WP:NOTNEWS, WP:NEVENT don't appear to be met - coverage is limited to the few days following the incident, which wouldn't even get any coverage if it happened at a less famous company. I recommend redirecting to History of YouTube where this is already mentioned. Perhaps merge a few sentences, as this incident is covered there in just one sentence. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:35, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Meets WP:PERSISTENCE and thus WP:EVENT, with coverage over several years after the event, as an academic case study. Non-exhaustive search:
1. Hundreds of words of of SIGCOV in 2023 paper in Journal of Criminal Psychology by Emerald Group Publishing [1]
2. ~130 words in 2022, Feminist Studies [2] that references the next item
3. Seems to be a few pages of SIGCOV in 2020 book Politics of Rightful Killing Civil Society, Gender, and Sexuality in Weblogistan By Sima Shakhsari, Duke University Press [3]
4. Brief but nontrivial mention in a 2022 journal article in CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture, Purdue University Press [4]
5. Short coverage in 2023 El Mañana (Nuevo Laredo), Spanish language newspaper [5]

Keep per Siroxo. Normally an event like this wouldn't be notable (and we could really benefit from cleaning this area up), but it seems that because the perpetrator was a woman, it's become a WP:CASESTUDY (that shortcut was just created today and it's already useful). Of course, if there were a proposal to merge this into a larger topic, I wouldn't object. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 17:33, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Siroxo. Killuminator (talk) 18:28, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Siroxo. Hypotheticals aren't really strong arguments: if JFK was just an unknown guy when he was shot, his death wouldn't get the same kind of coverage. ~ Pbritti (talk) 21:10, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as the event's notoriety goes beyond number of victims and targeted company, as shown above. Rkieferbaum (talk) 20:34, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Siroxo. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:55, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Siroxo. This is very obviously not just a routine event covered in local news, as reflected in the sources mentioned. Steven Walling • talk 01:30, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
