WP:TOOSOON for an article, no evidence of WP:LASTING coverage. E_F⁵ 14:44, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Crime and Germany. Shellwood (talk) 15:59, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: There are plenty of news sources out there, but almost all are extremely short or are just replicating the AP news release from yesterday. By the time this AfD discussion has run its course, it will be clearer whether this event has lasting coverage. I can't make any predictions on that. Reconrabbit 16:02, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Procedural keep per WP:RUSHDELETE, unable to determine if this will be notable until it has run its course in the news. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 17:44, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Events-related deletion discussions. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 19:46, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Currently there is plenty of international coverage with sources supplied to prove that. If news stories continue to come out then the should be a keep. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:17, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per above, but the article could use a lot more information than currently as is. Madeleine (talk) 02:06, 28 February 2025 (UTC) Changing !vote to Delete after waiting for further coverage, of which there was minimal. Madeleine (talk) 02:44, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Promises that it may be notable some day are not a valid reason to create or keep an article. This is especially the case when it's about routine news. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 06:00, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Draftify and move protect until it's sufficiently improved unless that can be done during the course of the AfD. ALso, more time in draft space will allow determination of whether there's any continuing coverage. Star Mississippi 23:38, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I can't see this article going anywhere. It was not a "Mass" anything and isn't described as such except for the initial first report. Draftify (yeah maybe) but I don't see any changes to the article or to the event in the news since the inital rather muted reports and wonder of the likelyhood of anything new.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris ^talk! 01:43, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Leaning delete. Checking back some time after the event, there were no deaths, and reporting appears to have been restricted to the immediate aftermath. BD2412 T 01:58, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• move to draft and expand - since more information of this event is available and this discussion is another case of WP:RUSHDELETE as some of the arguments for deletion are based on opinion and frankly too many people are misusing WP:LASTING and routine news as an argument when what defines a lasting event varies from location or time period (and this event occured in Germany which means that event is lasting there compared how it would last in other countries / locations). 216.24.109.110 (talk) 17:20, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
