WP:TOOSOON article about an event not yet shown as having the kind of enduring significance needed to graduate from WP:NOTNEWS territory. As always, it isn't Wikipedia's role or goal to maintain an article about every single thing that happens in the world -- we're writing history here, not news, so we would need to see some evidence that the event would pass the ten year test as a matter of long-term significance, which people will still be looking for information about into the 2030s and 2040s and 2050s. But neither the amount of content here nor the amount of sourcing shown to support it establish that this would pass that test yet as of today.
Obviously no prejudice against recreation at a later date if more long-term impact can be shown, but we need to see a lot more than just "this is a thing that happened a couple of days ago". Bearcat (talk) 17:10, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The reason why I created it is there's three shootings that occurred over a period of months. City News alone covered it on May 25 May 27 October 12 October 13 October 18 December 20 Chess (talk) (please mention me on reply) 18:46, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Antisemitism in Canada where there is already some coverage. The school, itself, does not appear to be notable and the only coverage, in English, appears to be the news coverage about these shootings. As suspects in these shootings are now under arrest, Wikipedia probably should not have a separate article about these shootings until the trial is over.

@Bearcat: I added several additional sources, including coverage of Doug Ford's comment about the first shooting + the reactions to it that immigrants were responsible. The ongoing shootings are a very big news story in Canada as school shootings are not as common here. Chess (talk) (please mention me on reply) 04:04, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The fact that it happened and was documented does not make it notable. We need more than a brief burst of news coverage. Content that amounts to "Responses: person said something" is especially unhelpful. Merging to Antisemitism in Canada would be undue (and honestly most of the random WP:PROSELINE content there probably isn't due either). Thebiguglyalien (talk) 20:00, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Merge or redirect into Antisemitism in Canada#During the October 7 war. It's covered there now, and the thing with Ford is probably enough to warrant an inclusion anyway. Does not pass NEVENT on its own. PARAKANYAA (talk) 15:32, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
