The result was delete. As well as agreement that there are major issues with its content, including OR and a dearth of included referencing, there is also consensus that it's an unneeded content fork, with no distinct content from Cow vigilante violence in India since 2014. It's worth noting the US equivalent - it's not impossible for this to be written in such as a way to be distinct and a legitimate article. Nosebagbear (talk) 19:21, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

Mob lynching in India

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Newly created WP:POVFORK of Cow vigilante violence in India since 2014, 2017 Nowhatta mob lynching and other articles, with lots of WP:OR. Since "mob lynching" is neither a special phenomena and it takes place in every country, I really don't see why we would need a separate article for this topic, which is covered already on many other articles.

 * Delete this please. I came here hoping to vote for a keep and salvage it since a general article could reasonably exist on this topic (although it is preferable to have separate articles; mob violence encompasses multiple types of events). Then I read the content of the article and I cannot AGF anymore. It reads like a rant instead of an encyclopaedic article.--DreamLinker (talk) 03:29, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I might add that Lynching in the United States and List of lynching victims in the United States exist, although the topic is specifically about violence towards African-Americans. Specific topics are definitely preferable here.--DreamLinker (talk) 03:33, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

 * delete it is an unreferenced opinion essay, not an encyclopaedic article. The referenced part is from other srticles mentioned above. —usernamekiran(talk) 02:13, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
