Nirupama Pathak death case

Not clear why this is notable; many murders are reported in reliable sources, but not every one is worthy of an article here. Happy days, LindsayHello 19:14, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. Why did this receive WP:SIGCOV? Maybe the grisly details (the mother being allegedly involved, being locked up in the house and communicating prior to being killed), family, being a journalist, and just randomness. However this has received international coverage (e.g. in NYT -, and editorial and newsblog ), has on-going coverage (e.g. in 2014 - ) and quite a few book mentions - e.g.     , or this Preeshl, Artemis. "Media as Mediator: Intertextual Narrative in Digital and Performative Presentation." Cross-Cultural Communication 10.1 (2014): 1.. Meets WP:NCRIME and GNG.Icewhiz (talk) 07:35, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - Meets WP:NCRIME and GNG indeed. the above mentioned references and book mentions are also quite telling.BabbaQ (talk) 21:45, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment ~ that's fine, then; i still don't see it meeting these policies, especially as it stands: Three sections, each one paragraph, two of them a single sentence, the third but two.  There is nothing in it like this  which differentiates this particular suicide or murder from others which we deem do not merit an article.  If you guys think there is an article here, can you help produce it, please? Happy days, LindsayHello 16:16, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
