The result was speedy keep. WP:SNOW close. Overwhelming consensus for keep, backed by strong policy-based arguments. —Ganesha811 (talk) 16:43, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
Post-closing note: - I have struck the part of the close referring to a speedy keep - that was an error on my part. It is not a speedy keep, but a WP:SNOW close and keep per WP:SK#NOT. Mea culpa —Ganesha811 (talk) 21:02, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Appears to be pretty obvious WP:BLP1E; should be redirect to Attempted_assassination_of_Donald_Trump#Perpetrator ―Howard • 🌽33 11:56, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
role was both substantial and well documentedper WP:BLP1E] as the example there specifically cites the attempted assassinator of Reagan. If more comes out later, article can always be created and expanded. Kcmastrpc (talk) 14:09, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
If reliable sources cover a person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having a biographical article on that individual.Hypnôs (talk) 14:10, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
at times it is better to cover a notable topic as part of a larger page about a broader topic, and it's quite clear that this individual is only notable for taking a shot at Trump. The present state of Thomas Matthew Crooks is such that it could be fully incorporated into the article on the assassination attempt without creating balance issues, and I think it would be better to present information on the perpetrator in the context of the shooting, rather than have two separate articles to maintain. As such, I believe we should redirect and merge this article to its natural parent. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 14:55, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
