- Merge to Edmund Burke School. This article is more suitable for the history section of the school itself rather than being a standalone as it’s probably more important for that specific location rather than the rest of the country. The coverage of the event also appears to be relatively routine.

- If not notable, haven’t checked for sources, merge to the school article. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:06, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect to Edmund Burke School#2022 shooting. There isn't nothing and some of the coverage is quite in depth but this is a good target and the coverage isn't enough as to warrant more than that. This actually was a redirect until last month. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:59, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Merge: While this isn't a huge event, it did happen. It should be merged into the Edmund Burke School page. OhNoKaren (talk) 04:20, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Doczilla Ohhhhhh, no! 17:20, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
- Merge - Notable, but not enough for its own article. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:30, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect to the Edmund Burke School article. A section on this topic already exists within the page. The two references cited in this AfD nomination are also included in that section ([1], [2]). QEnigma talk 05:56, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect - to Edmund Burke School#2022 shooting. There is no need to merge as both of the sources on the shooting article are already in the parent article. Generally, and extremely sadly, school shootings are not notable unless there is a significant number of casualties, or there was something about the case that was especially important socially or legally. 4.37.252.50 (talk) 03:53, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
