Anderson Lee Aldrich, convicted mass murderer, shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs, Colorado
No article allowed on Wikipedia
It's the same for Club Q, no article allowed on Wikipedia
It's the same problem we find with the Subway Vigilante or Bernhard Goetz, but not Omar Mateen
(who committed almost the exact same crime as Anderson Lee Aldrich, a mass shooting targeting gay or lesbian people, at a "gay" bar)
"Gay" is in quotes because the term isn't used as much, it's usually LGBTQ now, so while the Pulse Nightclub is labeled "a gay bar", or "gay nightclub", the term isn't 100% accurate anymore.
Why do some infamous killers have an article, while some are not allowed to ever have an article.
Nobody knows. There are no rules or guidelines on Wikipedia about this. The fact that a dead mass shooter can have an article, while a living mass shooter can't, is an absurdism. Mostly because an article on a living mass murderer can be updated. Especially when they end of dying.

The annual update entry
Just kidding, I almost never do an annual update. The trend continues of more and more information being deleted from Wikipedia. Some of it can be found in the edit history. But when a deletion of an article happens, all history of it is also removed.
But sometimes, if you dig down, you might find info that somebody didn't want on Wikipedia. but they weren't smart enough to be able to delete it.
Usually talk pages. I'm not going to explain it here. The last time I did that somebody who read it here, went to Wikipedia and deleted what I mentioned.
