I propose merging Stephen Paddock into 2017 Las Vegas shooting. I think that Stephen Paddock is not notable without the 2017 Las Vegas shooting; and, therefore, the content in his article can be merged into its own section within the article of the 2017 Las Vegas shooting. While the Stephen Paddock article is well-written and even received a B classification, much of the content is unrelated to what makes him arguably notable and thus I think can be condensed into a section instead of its own article.Geeky Randy (talk) 23:23, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Oppose merge: while WP:CRIME does say that perpetrators of crimes generally are not notable enough for their own articles, it does offer the following exception: if "(t)he motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. Generally, historic significance is indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role." The 2017 Las Vegas shooting has continued to receive sustained coverage in the six years since, much of which focuses on Paddock's role. Happieryet (talk) 09:38, 9 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
