- Weak delete per WP:EVENTCRIT: "Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance." Shootings involving multiple victims unfortunately happens all the time in New Orleans, such as this sequence [1] from 4 days ago. The article incident was widely reported internationally, probably due to the multitide of tourists who happened to be present at the time, but no WP:LASTING coverage beyond the burst of reporting in early December has materialized, so the incident seems to lack historical perspective ( WP:NOTNEWS, although it still might be too early to tell).

- Keep per WP:GNG. There are several sources and many of them are national sources. Iamreallygoodatcheckers ( talk) 02:09, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

- Comment just to elaborate more on my previous response. This incident was reported in multiple national sources including CNN, USA Today, ABC (not a local branch), Fox, NBC, and the New York Post. Iamreallygoodatcheckers ( talk) 04:23, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete, per StonyBrook. WP:N demands that coverage should exist "over a period of time", ie, there is critical commentary showing impact after the initial news cycle. This shooting, which is pretty routine, does not demonstrate that. ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 16:57, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete Unfortunately mass shootings are a fairly routine event in the U.S. WP:EVENTCRIT states that "Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes)...whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable" AusLondonder ( talk) 17:10, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- Keep While the subject shall not simply stands with comprehensive coverage because it was a news event and per WP:NOTNEWS. I searched related articles of last month (as of Mar 2020), and still see multiple references and mentioned link towards the subject, when reporting other shootings or describing the safety or gun violence. such as
- * https://www.fox8live.com/2020/03/01/violent-weekend-nola-represents-uptick-murder-rate/
- * https://www.wwltv.com/article/news/crime/27-people-have-been-killed-in-new-orleans-this-year-all-but-one-were-shot-to-death/289-1d5b5a93-f08e-45fa-b0ec-fa27c493326c
- * https://www.vianolavie.org/2020/03/24/the-perils-of-media-contagion/
hence it seems to me the subject has become a referenceable and encyclopedia worthy subject, and meets WP:GNG xinbenlv Talk, Remember to "ping" me 04:03, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
- None of these references discuss the December 2019 shooting specifically; they only reference the general gun violence in New Orleans problem. StonyBrook ( talk) 05:27, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
