Lots of sources in the media, but absolutely nothing to suggest that this is nothing more than a normal news story and fails WP:NOT. This belongs at Wikinews. Black Kite (talk) 19:50, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep: Meets WP:GNG. Note: It was an overly publicized event which has even made international headlines. Anyway since it has already made its journey in the international forum, we can’t help but to keep it (although it is a normal crime event!!). Bharathiya (talk) 03:59, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Errrr, what? I have no idea what you are trying to say. Lots of people are talking about it so we have to keep? - The Bushranger One ping only 02:51, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: No, Sorry. I am not talking about Big Number here. I agree that WP:BIGNUMBER solely cannot be a criteria for notability. This thing is not a Big number. This thing is entirely different. Kindly dont take it otherwise. The whole state of Karnataka has suffered for about 4 days due to this incident. The international media houses such as BBC etc have covered this story. So there should be something notable in it. What I stated is according to WP:GNG i.e. The incident has got "Significant coverage by the reliable independent sources including multiple international media". And the action is permanent. So in that case and IMHO the article should be eligible for keep as per wiki guidelines. However article may need to be completely rewritten to make it as per wiki standards. -- Bharathiya (talk) 04:47, 29 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. Per Bharathiya.--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:32, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - the article just looks like a news story ATM. I think we'll have to blow it up and start over if the article's going to exist at all. A boat   that can float!   (watch me float!)  06:44, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I talk a lot about my feet hurting, and lots of other people talk about it too, so I'm assuming in good faith that everyone knows about it locally and also worldwide. I think I got a mention in | Famous Bunions here Should I start a page on that too since it's common knowledge? (please forgive the sarcasm, but I got lost in the intent of the article somewhere :) Яεñ99 (talk) 08:18, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Comment: In that case, I don't understand then how you allowed this article: 2009 Mangalore pub attack to be on Wikipedia which is a similar incident. Sir, if you feel it to be deleted then put delete rather than putting some sarcastic comments. I only expressed my opinion and I am neutral as far as other comments are concerned. Thanks. -- Bharathiya (talk) 08:56, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Sarcasm neither supports nor denies a position. It is a humorous anecdote to a situation, and in this case is purely neutral as it does not address nor support deletion or inclusion.  It is simply up to you to get, or not to get - just as in the case of the wording of the article itself :)  Don't drive angry! Яεñ99 (talk) 09:10, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete It is an attack on a Homestay place by some goons supposedly belonging to some group, where some young people were celebrating birthday and it is a small crime incident; although arrestes made and media coverage is there, I feel it can be treated as only a small crime - no physical damage to anybody. I would say strong delete.-Rayabhari (talk) 02:56, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * No physical damage? Yeah, I guess that girl must have had a bionic skull to withstand an attack like that, wherein her head was smashed repeatedly. Joyson Prabhu  Holla at me!   17:05, 1 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. As per Bharathiya. Joyson Prabhu  Holla at me!   17:03, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
