Guns, gun manufacturer and Notable uses of guns dispute

@Springee: After I saw a gun used by attacker of terrorist attack in New Zealand 2019 AR-15 had a section that noted the use of the gun and the effect it had, I took the text and did the same type of edit to other weapons used in the attack Mossberg 930, Remington Model 870 as well as the company O.F. Mossberg & Sons. Yet you say use of the weapon in crime is not notable despite notable coverage. I would like to know why you reverted my properly sourced notable text trying to improve the article. If a fun manufacturers notable usage of gun cannot be written in the article then how is the article complete in it's coverage, isn't this a bias of ignorance towards it's products.Notbrev (talk) 14:04, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since you have asked for additional input at Talk:Christchurch mosque shootings, I agree with Springee that it has WP:TOPIC problems. It doesn't add great value to know the exact make of guns used by Tarrant.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 14:48, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unless the manufacturer has been directly blamed or implicated due to thr attack, this is a bit of coatracking and RGW laying blame in WPvoice at the manufacturer. --Masem (t) 15:15, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see this as particularly relevant or due for mention. If a Toyota Corolla were involved in a high-profile DUI crash, we might note the model of the car in an article about the incident, but we would not include a mention of it in the Toyota Corolla article. I don't see how this is different. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 16:36, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ianmacm:@Seraphimblade:@Masem: OK so I can only add the information if it is specifically identified as a leading cause of shooting like AR-15, I am assuming? But I can add it to users in Remington Model 870 under New Zealand terrorist description, because my sources are more direct and reliable than military usage for say the entry use in UK. Shouldn't users section like that be allowed for all gun articles?(not manufacturer) Notbrev (talk) 04:08, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
