Death of Sharmila Banu

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested PROD. Violates WP:BLP1E and Wikipedia is not a newspaper. I dream of horses (T) @ 00:43, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. This is not just about the killing. It also deals with the continuing aftermath of the killing, including a protest and a court case. Several national newspapers in India have covered the protests and court case. Public response to the police coverup of the killing is likely to raise the profile of the continuing issue of police corruption in India. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 02:00, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - This event does not appear to meet WP:GNG.--Rpclod (talk) 05:36, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator and above; Does not appear to be notable and is written much like a news article. Staglit (talk) 13:56, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Articles for deletion/Log/2014 July 20.  — cyberbot I  Notify Online 04:44, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Easily fails WP:NOTABILITY. Also fails WP:NOTNEWS and WP:BLP1E. Delete. --Jersey92 (talk) 17:49, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment. WP:BLP1E should be applied only to biographies of living people. While the victim may fail notability, the killing is notable. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 21:02, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment I should have put WP:BIO1E. Even without it, I still think this fails the others mentioned above. --Jersey92 (talk) 01:55, 21 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment - while poorly written, the story was international news. Whether the case will be appealed further is unknown.  I'd file this under WP:TOOSOON, WP:Incubate, or WP:TNT. Bearian (talk) 19:09, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
