It IS in the article you mentioned and I believe the video passes FP? #5 by covering the reactions segment of the shooting article well. Ah, and I added it to the gun politics article too since it actually summarizes the debate in that article really well too. Nergaal (talk) 22:27, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry – I stand corrected about the article. (Thought it was just a photo.) Sca (talk) 00:34, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Relevant to what? Sca (talk) 14:49, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Relevant to gun violence, whenever and wherever it happens. --Janke | Talk 17:25, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, but does that mean that, if or when there's another crazy-mass-shooting in the U.S., we hurry up & run this as a kind of editorial FP? Sca (talk) 20:55, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose without prejudice Its too soon for me to be in a position to judge whether this is worth enough of an FP star, especially since this is neither the first nor the worst such shooting stateside. It'd be better, I think, to wait on this kind of nom until the media Tarzans find their next vine to swing to so we can judge the worthiness of speeches like this without the momentum of the current event itself to influence our perspective of it.

  • Comment – Those concerned about this unfortunately perennial topic may find this interesting. (See also.)Sca (talk) 13:33, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I think TomStar raises an important point, but I also note that we seem to get a lot of Obama noms; I'm concerned about filling up our galleries with photos of the same person, especially when he's a person so popular with our editors.

PS: – This user has long opposed official photos of serving politicians of whatever stripe, and the same principle applies here. Note also that the P tweeted this video on TWTR Oct. 1. Sca (talk) 14:37, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
