 * Keep, Don't redirect or merge- Was an assassination that made worldwide headline news, and not just for a few days after the incident. Other famous bloggers who faced assassination and attempted assassination knew him, he knew Avijit Roy.  After his murder Asif Mohiuddin, another notable blogger who survived a machete attack spoke of him, and he knew him. International media coverage continued long after the incident (March 2015), as shown here.  The original article was deleted in 2015 on the grounds of lacking news coverage after the incident, but after it was deleted there was more, rendering such reason invalid.  The article also exists on other language Wikipedias.  Consensus on the previous deletion was in no way unanimous, and the topic has come up again and in the news after the deletion.  On the original deletion many argued for it to be kept.  He many not have been in international worldwide news before the incident, but had presence in Bengali language media.

 * You can read the previous discussion and closing comments yourself. Someone's reading seems to be that the original problem was a lack of news coverage after the incident. Although that concern was raised during the discussion, my own reading is that the major problem was that Ahmed Rajib Haider was a low profile individual notable only for one event. Quite an alphabet soup of policies and guidelines were cited in arguments:
 * What Wikipedia is Not: WP:NOTMEMORIAL, WP:NOTNEWS, WP:INDISCRIMINATE
 * Biographies of Living People (and low-profile individuals): WP:BLP1E
 * Notability: WP:N, WP:NEVENT, WP:ANYBIO, WP:VICTIM, WP:BIO1E
