2018 Pulwama encounter

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This was just like one of the hundreds of encounters that take place in Kashmir Valley on a daily basis. This article never got any coverage after a few days of the event. These types of encounters are very common in Kashmir, the sources used are mainly Breaking News sources which didn't cover the topic after a few days. Delete as per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:LASTING.

 * Delete, could be mentioned in Kashmir article, but otherwise just one of many such events and fails for stand alone article, per WP:NOTNEWS. Kierzek (talk) 13:58, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't see the continuing coverage for this, and the name of the article is atrocious as there have been several other such encounters - 11 March, 5 March, 29 December 2018, Newyear 2018, Feb 2019. Then I find this - this from Jan 2019 saying "SHOPIAN: For the past four consecutive Saturdays, Pulwama’s Tral and nearby area has seen four gunfights, during which 16 militants, 7 civilians, and one army soldier have been killed. Locals have noted this correspondence with Saturday and are speculating if this is some special strategy of government forces, or some particular reason, for choosing this day.. So is this a recurring gunfight? There might be an article to be had from stringing all of these together (if some sources does so) - but not for a single event AFAICT.
