2006 Bhiwandi lynching

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Tragic as this may be, it did not receive much coverage except in a few newspapers. As there was no lasting coverage of this single event, it should not be given a separate article on wikipedia. Elektricity (talk) 07:19, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. Plenty of WP:SUSTAINED coverage outside of newspapers. e.g. -  .Icewhiz (talk) 09:28, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Please note that one of those links is a self-published book, another is an advocacy group and by no means long after the event, and some of the others are passing mentions which wouldn't satisfy WP:GNG. - Sitush (talk) 21:02, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Struck the self-published book. Regarding the sources above - this published in 2015 and this published in 2012 - show WP:SUSTAINED and WP:LASTING beyond news (e.g. reporting on the trial and subsequent acuittal).Icewhiz (talk) 21:32, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep Read, there is lasting coverage. Article needs to be updated and provide the reason behind the incident. D4iNa4 (talk) 09:35, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - I was more convinced by D4iNa4 sources since they are more than namedrops. Usually, I wouldn't be convinced by the routine aftermath of a trial but there are more sources like this that offer in-depth analysis.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 09:59, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - the article has recently been under discussion due to being a target of pov-editing. The talk page makes it clear that there is scope for improvement, although the title probably needs to be changed from the pov-y lynching to violence, which would then allow us to give the events the full coverage that they deserve, per sources such as those linked by Di4na4 above. - Sitush (talk) 20:59, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Passes GNG .Sitush you should have asked for references not wrongly raised questions POV pushing as it can given.Full report here.
 * Keep References provided by the D4iNa4 make the subject pass WP:LASTING. Pratyush (talk) 17:54, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
