Delete Fails WP:NEVENTS, and, as DGG said, Wikipedia is not a newspaper. casualdejekyll (talk) 23:40, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Note: page moved to 2022 Nima-Mamobi Gang Violence. If kept, the page will need to be moved again. • Gene93k (talk) 12:22, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:NEVENTS and WP:NOT#NEWS with strictly news cycle coverage. • Gene93k (talk) 13:17, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This clearly meets the WP:NEVENTS criteria, this is a very notable event that has change a lot in the Nima Mamobi community. One of the major criteria for WP:NEVENTS is this "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded" and this event meets that completely.

Keep Per WP:NEVENTS- Robertjamal12 ~🔔 19:00, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Your comment 'Not News' does not provide a enough reasons [constructive feedback] for it to be deleted. You might have to connect it to a Wikipedia clause which defines why it is 'Not News' for public education. Just as Owula kpakpo (talk) explained, this article qualifies per Wikipedia's WP:NEVENTS. This isn't a 'normal news item' but a major incident which has happened. You can read more about the subject to understand it. Similar shooting incidence being developed for Wikipedia are here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christchurch_mosque_shootings, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Ayawaso_West_by-election, etc. Uprising Man (talk)

The key difference is WP:LASTING effects and interest, for which evidence is not provided. As for the Christchurch attack, it has a much wider geographic scope, especially because it inspired later copycat and retaliation attacks around the world. A parliamentary by-election generally generates a durable impact. As I stated above, this gang clash as not broken out of the news cycle. • Gene93k (talk) 03:49, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As for "not news," WP:What Wikipedia is not is Wikipedia policy, and WP:Wikipedia is not a newspaper/WP:NOT#NEWS is enumerated in that policy. • Gene93k (talk) 04:00, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: lets keep as WP:NEVENTS focus on notability and this is a notable event with significant coverage.Jwale2 (talk) 01:07, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Note: the article has been moved again, this time back to Nima-Mamobi gang violence. Please leave the article in place until the AfD discussion is closed. • Gene93k (talk) 21:06, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: While there is no clear consensus to delete, the keep !votes have asserted that the article meets WP:NEVENTS without providing evidence as to why the article meets the guideline. Relisting to provide an opportunity for evidence of notability to be presented.

Comment - It seems like merging to Maamobi is a plausible WP:ATD here. Suriname0 (talk) 02:18, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete According to the sources used, the media reports are not even sure whether or not anyone was killed in this violence or the extent of the injuries to people. With this much ambiguity about what actually happened, and much of the event occurring on social media and not in the real world, I don't think there is much value in keeping this article.
