Asa Coon

Template:La – (View log)

Asa Coon was the gunman in the SuccessTech Academy shooting. The article was tagged for speedy deletion citing BLP concerns (I removed the CSD template), which is inappropriate for a two reasons: 1) The subject is no longer living and 2) BLP violations are not a CSD criterion. As more information becomes available, I suspect the article will contain more content than it currently does (two sentences). As the subject is only notable for this shooting, I don't think we really need an article on him. Perhaps a merge or a redirect are in order. Pablo Talk | Contributions 22:28, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete While school shootings are terrible, nobody was even seriously injured (except for this kid) and he is not notable for anything else (generally, someone doesn't get an article if there notability is only for one thing). Mention him on the page for the shooting and that is enough. TJ Spyke 22:35, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete per WP:BLP1E. The person died recently, but I am pretty sure that BLP1E still applies, as well as the general principles of WP:BLP policy. We should not be having articles for 14-year-old children who recently committed suicide, even under these tragic circumstances. Burntsauce 22:39, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
    • Actually, it's not confirmed whether he killed himself or if the police killed him. TJ Spyke 22:41, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
    • It is confirmed, by the Associated Press, and I really don't see how that is relevant or why you're bringing it up. Burntsauce 22:48, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
