Assassination attempt of Imran Khan

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

It hasn't even been an hour yet, and facts haven't been established yet, especially whether Khan was the target, which this article suggests. Clearly fails WP:DELAY. A merge into the main article Imran Khan would be much more suitable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gtgamer79 (talk • contribs) 12:25, 3 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment: Clearly fails WP:RAPID. 😋 (FBDB) Meh, whatever, I'm not too fussed. But since the main article was under ECP, and editors are less BOLD on such pages, it seemed like it would be best for it to have an article. Whatever this one ends up as doesn't really fuss me .

 * Speedy Keep: Badly formatted, somewhat disruptive nomination, ignoring WP:RAPID. I also didn't forget about DELAY (which BTW, it isn't possible to "fail", it is rather something to consider, which I did). The main page is under ECP, which I consider to be somewhat stifling of BOLD edits (it is sort of supposed to be), and this page needs BOLDness. An (apparent) assassination attempt on a former leader whilst they are campaigning to get themselves reinstated is the sort of thing that is absolutely not going to be forgotten by next month. Especially since it actually did result in at least one death. Virtually all major news outlets seem to be picking this up. What is the point of starting this when it will be a clear keep by the end of the 7 days? Mako001 (C) (T)  🇺🇦 13:00, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Case in point why this page was needed, it was significantly expanded from the original stub into a small (but sectioned) article by Quantum XYZ, who would not have been able to edit the main article with this information. Mako001 (C) (T)  🇺🇦 13:37, 3 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep: this is a significant event, and deleting and un-deleting will cause more pain than simply keeping the article whilst details. Wikipedia editors are way too gung ho with deleting articles recentlyryan RecentlyRyan — Preceding undated comment added 12:44, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I have to agree. We should wait a few more hours to see if we have enough details to make this into a full article or to merge it with the Imran Khan article. Cr 8900 (talk) 13:43, 3 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 100% speedy keep - My first comment in an AfD discussion. Anyways, article is now significantly better and the event is VERY significant. Quantum XYZ (talk) 13:31, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge Merge with original page Imran Khan, as none of the information still confirmed and authentic and all the news are still conflicting with each other. M.Ashraf333 (talk) 13:53, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
