Arash Ghorbani-Zarin

 * – ( View AfD View log )

as sad as his death is, it doesn't meet WP:VICTIM and he falls under WP:ONEVENT. gnews shows a big spike in coverage at his death and then very little afterwards. LibStar (talk) 12:47, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - as the BBC references already in the article indicate, the death of Arash Ghorbani-Zarin and the trial of his girl-friend's family was a very prominent case that highlighted concern in the UK over the issue of honour killings in the context of social debate over integration and multiculturalism. There was extensive coverage in the UK media (BBC, Times, Guardian, Telegraph, all in the first couple of dozen hits).  This is an AfD that highlights the destructive waste of time and effort that the AfD process in its present form encourages. Opbeith (talk) 14:52, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment - in any case it's precisely the wrong moment to think of deleting the article as the case is still "live" in the UK - Chomir Ali was granted the right to appeal in early December (NB case followed at Stop Honour Killings website). Opbeith (talk) 23:30, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Move/Rename to Murder of Arash Ghorbani-Zarin. The article is focused on the murder, not a biography, and does seem to me to be a one event biography. However I think there is enough coverage to establish significance of the murder, so think an article on the murder is appropriate. Davewild (talk) 18:53, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - per BBC references, per Opbeith opinion of nomination.--BabbaQ (talk) 21:35, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
