Article needs serious cleaning up. There are grammar mistakes everywhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.204.220.69 (talk) 14:37, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Scope

Is this article intended to cover every shooting in both of these states for the duration of 2009? If not, I think it's in need of a new title. Kafziel ^{Complaint Department} 22:04, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I fully agree. Perhaps a name with a more specific title? Any suggestions? WingedYoshi - NP 19:16, 11 August 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by WYNP (talk • contribs)

Notability?

This article reads like a newspaper. There is no historical impact for the shootings that occurred. We are in 2017 and you won't find this as a cited event in any publications writing about 2009 in the Mexican Drug War. MX (✉ • ✎) 19:14, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Really, you checked EVERY publication? Czolgolz (talk) 20:35, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. Though the burden of proof for notablity lies with the creators/main editors of this article. Wikipedia is not a newspaper nor an indiscriminate collection of information. I will nominate this for deletion later since it didn't have an impact past a headline coverage. MX (✉ • ✎) 22:15, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please. If this happened in the US, there'd be no question of notability. That's my old neighborhood, and trust me, there were long term effects. Maybe the article needs improving, but not deletion. Czolgolz (talk) 02:08, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

IMO, this work is not notable as a stand-alone article, but the incidents could be added to Timeline of the Mexican Drug War. Shootings/attacks in the Mexican Drug War involving around a dozen dead are rarely notable unless they garner significant coverage beyond simple one-day mentions (i.e. 2015 San Sebastián del Oeste ambush). The incidents in this article did not have a lasting impact; no high-ranking drug lord was arrested, there was not a large scale government response, there were no civilian protests, this didn't lead to another significant event of greater proportions, etc. Sad to say that these attacks are common place.
