Sourced, but thisis a WP:1E. A routine murder. WP:NOTNEWS. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:09, 13 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep 'honour killing' in Pakistan is a social issue. After the death of Qandeel Baloch it is a second high profile murder in Pakistan. Such killings has compelled the Pakistani government to make a law against honour killings. Wide Media coverage of Samia killing not only in Pakistan but across the borders proves that it was not A ROUTINE MURDER.Sneha Hurrain (talk) 08:04, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep - article quality is poor, but notability guidelines are not based on that. per sources that I can find this honour killing has received plenty of media coverage. also per bigger context of honour killings. --BabbaQ (talk) 14:08, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Yes of course Wikipedia is not a newspaper but on its front page there is a section 'In the news'. Sneha Hurrain (talk) 20:04, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Move To the killing of Samia Sahid she is not notable except as a victim of a crime. The only reason the crime is notable is that Pakistan is actually changing laws based directly on this incident and that someone was arrested for threatening an MP over the incident.--Savonneux (talk) 23:13, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete as none of this actually amounts to any substance apart from the event happening itself, there's nothing else actually convincing. SwisterTwister   talk  04:03, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Passes WP:GNG this is a honour killing and has got substantial International media coverage in the ex  Guardian ,BBC ,Telegraph particurly after  Qandeel Baloch this case has got substantial coverage and the this case has became cause celebre of honour killing .Now whether the coverage will be WP:LASTING or not cannot be said at this point.

 * Keep Article is lacking, but that is not a reason for deletion. There is more information available in reliable sources online, and the article should be improved based on those. CrispyGlover (talk) 22:04, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
 * comment I added new reference. she was raped before murder. This is a new angle in honour killings case investigation. The follow up of this case in main stream media shows that this page must not be deleted.  Sneha Hurrain  (talk) 10:07, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
