Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Attack on Sandeep Singh


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   delete. Karantsingh, to answer your question, murders, even racist murders, are not generally notable even if reported in the press. It would make no real difference if Sandeep Singh had died. What would make a difference is if the attack had some enduring notability and continued to be discussed in reliable sources in years to come or was the trigger for important later events. At the moment it is just routine news, and Wikipedia does not cover this. SpinningSpark 12:04, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

redirect to Sandeep Singh. This article has a massive COI and doesn't appear notable. I suggest a redirect. NickGibson3900 - Talk - Sign my Guestbook 09:44, 5 August 2014 (UTC)


 * No Redirection Required. The redirection is done on wrong link. You can tell what topic should be give for this hate crime incident. This is regarding recent Hate Crime attack in United States and is under construction. Various News channel published this:

 * Attack on Reginald Denny <- The article is also related to Racist attack and is slowly being build to large base. The case reached at head institution of Sikhs. Many Indian media channel gives it coverage. Can't this article build to large base with developments? or If Sandeep Singh got murdered like Murder of Balbir Singh Sodhi, then it turns notable? Any general attribute for notability for articles related to Racist attacks on member of particular community which even reached to higher management of community(sikh coilation and SGPC) and which participating in solving the case?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Karantsingh (talk • contribs) 06:22, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. It's a sad story, but not important enough for an article. The comparisons to the beating in the LA Riots and the killings that followed 9/11 have no merit. The author has good intent, but appears to want to use this to right great wrongs, which is not the purpose of Wikipedia. – Muboshgu (talk) 14:49, 6 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Mention US Sources too: huffingtonpost, nydailynews. Sandeep Singh is a common Man. I think you cannot create article on common Man. Just like Sandeep Singh, many racist attacks occur in US. It does not mean Wiki is going to create article on each. First, let story develop upto some level. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.110.241.235 (talk) 03:54, 7 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Muboshgu - Like Murder of Balbir Singh which is post 9/11 racist mistaken identity attack, the article also put many references from news sources. So will those links become invalidate or need to corrected? Secondly, I am unable to get from all WP rules which you have shared because the this murder balbir singh article is also referenced from news and seen many articles taken references from news channels. Even famous 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict have news links. actually just want to understand notability? Like say if Sandeep Singh or XYZ got murdered in this mistaken identity racist attack, will this comes in notability? (Karantsingh (talk) 10:12, 7 August 2014 (UTC))


 * Delete per WP:NOTNEWS, as per Gbawden --Bejnar (talk) 06:38, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
