Delete per WP:NOTNEWS....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 15:21, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Can't say there has been anything particularly unique about the shooting of coverage. After all, Wikipedia is not news, nor is it an indiscriminate database for tragic shootings. Perhaps I am wrong but it is far too soon to determine and it is up to article creators to wait until notability is actually established.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 19:55, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. Sadly, the murders of *ONLY* four people in a mass shooting is tragically too ordinary to merit the kind of long-term coverage that would establish notability. Any meaningful content could be preserved by a merge to Long Branch, New Jersey. Alansohn (talk) 22:44, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- As far as I know, there have been no shootings yet in 2018 in Long Branch, New Jersey. Fails WP:CRYSTAL Rhadow (talk) 00:29, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:NCRIME, and also as duplicative of the more developed 2017 Long Branch, New Jersey shootings, if it can survive its own AfD. No matter what happens on that page, this page should go. Shelbystripes (talk) 05:03, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Snow Delete this is a duplicate article of 2017 Long Branch, New Jersey shootings, and I don't think it's notable at all. power~enwiki (π, ν) 21:02, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
