Amit Sahai suicide

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This isn't a particularly special case and the person isn't otherwise notable. Fails WP:NOTE. The facts of the case don't warrant a special article. If it's a case of Ragging, it should merge into that article. Sadly, this young man became so distraught over being picked on at school that he decided to take his own life. Unfortunately, that story is not that uncommon, especially for young people under enormous stress in school. --JJLatWiki (talk) 17:41, 14 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete -- fails on notability grounds. - Longhair\talk 17:43, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
 * delete fails notability. Also raises serious BLP issues. Simply listing names of people who were mentioned in a suicide note with no other evidence against? Not a good idea. I've taken the minimal step of removing the names. JoshuaZ (talk) 18:13, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete It's a tragedy, but Wikipedia is not a memorial nor a newspaper. DarkAudit (talk) 19:32, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Note - this individual is also listed, along with a small number of others, in List of people who have died because of ragging (which has also been nominated for deletion). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ros0709 (talk • contribs) 17:15, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep An article similar to this one exists (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawn-Marie_Wesley_suicide). The suicides of Amit Sahai and Dawn Marie Wesley are similar but it is interesting to see that the Amit Sahai article is up for deletion whereas the Dawn Marie Wesley article is still going strong.
 * I'm not sure the Dawn-Marie Wesley example should be kept either but it has at least one major thing up on this one Rats & Bullies: The Dawn-Marie Wesley Story- a major documentary was made about it. JoshuaZ (talk) 14:20, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Also see WP:WAX, which effectively dismisses the reasoning for the keep above. Ros0709 (talk) 14:39, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete As per nom not notable.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 14:28, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
