Bomai incident

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

See no coverage for this incident beyond WP:NOTNEWS. Despite the article has presence on Wiki for years, the failure to gain any notability justifies delete. My Lord (talk) 16:35, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. Abundant in-depth coverage from several reliable sources. Incidents such as these typically lead to investigations, trials and lengthy discussions. NOTNEWS does not apply. 23:41, 3 July 2018 (UTC)Eastmain (talk • contribs)
 * Delete.Fails WPNOTNEWS, WP:ROUTINE and lacks WP:LASTING coverage after 2009 . Sadly these type of incidents are routine in the Kashmir conflict and most cases there is no followup .Now we cannot have standalone article for each and every death in the conflict.

 * Strong delete article created by SPA following the recent news coverage of that time. But time has proven that subject totally fails WP:NOTNEWS. Sdmarathe (talk) 05:57, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Good catches by the nom on this string of articles. Surely, recentism is responsible for the creation of these articles, but NOTNEWS explains clearly why routine coverage does not produce notability.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 22:52, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. The incident continued to be covered by WP:RS even 8 years after it took place, and the inquiry remains open (see the article refs).  With regard to the "routine" coverage claim, this claim for deletion is based on a misreading of policy. The policy is aimed against entertainment news. Specifically, WP:NOTNEWS reads "routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia." This case on the contrary is a notable army crime. Besides, this is clearly not "routine news reporting" on "announcements, sports, or celebrities". This is routine news reporting a major army crime and therefore WP:NOTNEWS does not apply. I can only recommend re-reading the WP:NOTNEWS policy. Finally, the unsound arguments in favor of NOTNEWS are trumped by WP:NCRIME, which reads «Articles about criminal acts, particularly those that fall within the category of "breaking news", are frequently the subject of deletion discussions. As with other events, media coverage can confer notability on a high-profile criminal act», so keeping this article ought to be adjudicated by default, as clearly the coverage has been extensive and continues as of 2017.

 * The article is regarding crossfire casualties, I dont agree with calling the incident as an Army crime. Please see the reply by Pharaoh below. I concur with his observations, In light of these would you like to update your !Vote. -- D Big X ray  19:46, 7 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete - Lack of indication that why this incident deserves an article given the lack of coverage days after the occurrence. Orientls (talk) 09:50, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment The one of the Ref added  here by another keep vote  is not connected with this incident but with a completely different 2017 incident of  manhandling of four female members.Further Kashmir Life is not WP:RS.Hence the claim that it is covered in WP:RS even after 8 years is incorrect.Further this involves the Indian army and it comes within Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act hence no public trial and is seen as a  Army operations and  and hence WP:NCRIME does not apply.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 09:52, 5 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete - Fails WP:LASTING and WP:NOTNEWS. Accesscrawl (talk) 12:58, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:LASTING. If there is some content worth keeping, that can be selectively merged into Human rights abuses in Kashmir. Adamgerber80 (talk) 21:45, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - As per WP:NOTNEWS. Bharatiya  29  18:11, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - As per WP:NOTNEWS 2 civilians killed in crossfire between the terrorists and the army. The incident got expected mention in the media. But this is not enough notability for WP:EVENT. WP:ROUTINE and lacks WP:LASTING coverage. Agree with Pharaoh-- D Big X ray   19:43, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
