It doesn't seem the content is the same, however. The useful notes gives info about the event, while the other documents its appearance or reference in media.
I'm not sure it's tasteful to have tropes describing that event in Useful Notes, though.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerWe don't trope Real Life usually, so the trope section can go.
I think of redirecting Columbine and keeping the Useful Notes, since it seems to have some meaning in storytelling.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
It is mentioned in The War On Terror, but it doesn't have an own page.
Replace tropes describing the real life UsefulNotes.Columbine with its mention in media and get rid of Columbine? Effectively, it's a merge.

"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerMerge would be for the best, and it'd free up space for Dave Cullen's book and its future adaptation
Merge them. No point in having two articles on the same topic.
"Polite life will fill you full of cancer." - Iggy Pop "I've seen the future, brother, it is murder." -Leonard CohenMerge. There's no need for the Main.Columbine when there's a Useful Notes version.
OK, so I have:
- Moved the wicks from Columbine to UsefulNotes.Columbine, and removed as-trope usages.
- Removed the trope list in the Useful Notes page and moived the media list in from Main/
- Redirected main.
Now, the discussion needs to be moved, and we might take a last look at the Useful Notes page.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman

We have two pages with the same name in different namespaces. I am making this thread because it has come up twice in the Needs an Index thread and the solution was to take it over here.
My instinct is to cut the Columbine and keep the Useful Notes Columbine.
