Article was PRODded by User:Comatmebro, and that was reverted without explanation by the article creator. I believe this should be deleted per WP:NOTNEWS: there is nothing here of any lasting importance; in the end it was just another crime, just another crazy killing, and I suspect the only reason this was ever written up, or ever garnered some media attention, is that the guy yelled something associated with a certain kind of terrorism--a connection that, if I read the article correctly, was of no value whatsoever.

  • Delete Indeed WP:NOTNEWS of a sadly horrible but common crime which gets a week in the news but is barely followed up on after outside the standard 'oh yeah that happened' story when the sentencing happens. Nate(chatter) 21:13, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Keep Appears to me to be a bad faith nomination for me removing a prod from another article that Drmies had placed. Also this received worldwide media attention not just some local incident. By Drmies thinking all school shootings are not notable. What about 2019 California stabbing attacks or London Home Office stabbing Simmo86 (talk) 23:32, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
    • That I have no faith in your judgment is a fact. Please write in complete sentences, especially if you tell lies about me, like about me "thinking all school shootings are not notable".

  • Delete: this initially got some coverage as a "terrorist" attack in Australia, but this proved misleading. A mentally ill young man killed a prostitute he was visiting (and who he visited before) and then ran into the street, attacking other people. I was working nearby and - at the risk of breaking Misplaced Pages's rules - can assure everyone that the CBD was not locked down and there was not mass panic. The whole incident was over in a few minutes. As I have said on the Talk page, Australia has about 100-200 homicide incidents a year. The majority involve a knife or another sharp implement. This is not notable.--Jack Upland (talk) 00:54, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Delete. While this incident was widely covered in reliable sources at the time, it has been shown to be a consequence of mental illness, and has no lasting significance. WWGB (talk) 02:20, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
