Florida Mall shooting and Biden's home shooting

edit

Some anon IP's keep deleting these incidents citing not notable, but these clearly don't apply to public shootings with international coverage from US to UK, Al Jazeera, Russia and even Iran. Put here for consideration and discussion. See WP:DIVERSE for notability of an internationally covered event.Redhanker (talk) 17:57, 26 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

dude you are clearly just another sock for the anon ip 76 who keeps adding the item back in and you were the only one of forty editors to try and say these events were notable during the speedy delete talk - Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/2015_Newcastle_sharks_attack Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/2015_Florida_State_Mall_shooting

Further i wish to quote one of those editors who like all of them said in no uncertain terms that your additions here were i quote "Slightly better than most of the spate of local articles recently created by this author" - as in why are you wasting all of our times with these ridiculously trivial additions. --70.190.111.213 (talk) 01:38, 27 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
