The result was keep without prejudice to a future renomination if after a reasonable period of time it appears that the subject may fail notability guidelines based on a lack of SUSTAINED coverage and clear evidence of long term significance of this event. Currently it is likely too early to form definitive judgements on whether or not those criteria will be met. Ad Orientem (talk) 01:35, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep The death of this fellow was the result of official action by the Iranian government. Arrested for involvement in the recent economic protests, he was transferred to a prison that is well-known as a torture facility and one in which protestors have been murdered previously. This is not an isolated or PR event, this is an historically significant event during which this fellow was murdered. As an on-going event there are unknown elements which may emerge to justify a larger article but this death alone is still significant. Militärwissenschaften (talk) 02:55, 28 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep Sina Ghanbari has been killed during the recent public protests in Iran and his case has been discussed by the Iranian parliamentarians and has many significant sources.Alex-h (talk) 21:35, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Significant extremely widely covered event as evident in even a cursory BEFORE. Should be renamed to Death and torture of Sina Ghanbari Torture and death of Sina Ghanbari or something similar as the event is noteworthy, the bio not as 1E.Icewhiz (talk) 21:56, 28 January 2018 (UTC) Modified proposed name per TGS's comments below. Torture was a significant and well covered part of this.Icewhiz (talk) 07:19, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep widely covered event indeed. Should be renamed though. AfD is not a clean-up service so I suggest a clean up when this AfD is closed.BabbaQ (talk) 22:29, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment to the closing admin: Except one, none of the comments addressed the very crucial 1E issue! -- M h hossein   talk 19:13, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
 * In fact, the issue is effectively addressed by editors urging a change in article title. I will add that people not notable in life can and often do become notable when their death draws widespread attention.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:42, 29 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep as per WP:SIGCOV, and rename Death and torture of Sina Ghanbari, or similar.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:42, 29 January 2018 (UTC) Move to Torture and death of Sina Ghanbari.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:25, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Not trying to be picky, but Torture and death of Sina Ghanbari makes more sense since torture came before her death. Or just Death of Sina Ghanbari since that seems to be the common title for similar articles.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 23:24, 29 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Many thanks to all who have said to keep it. It is a consensus therefore, the page should remain. Many internationally well known sources have reported his death under torture. I do agree with E.M. Gregory. Good point. Grateful. Alex-h (talk) 21:23, 30 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Merge There's apparently a consensus over the WP:ONEEVENT problem as mentioned by the nominator and some others. I'm going to add that "Wikipedia is not a newspaper" and that "Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events." Given the sources covering the issue I suggest merging it with articles such as 2017–18 Iranian protests. Lstfllw203 (talk) 06:00, 31 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the discussions. We are being led to keep the article given the notability of the issue and durable effect this death has left behind. To merge with the suggested articles is minimizing the event particularly when the articles are very long. Therefore I respectfully believe the article should remain. Alex-h (talk) 23:06, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Everything in the world is a "single event". 9/11 was a single event, and so was the boston bombing. What WP:1E means is that if a single event did not have lasting impact, then we should delete the page. Just saying that "this was a single event" is no bueno in my opinion. Now this event has had lasting impact, and therefore it does not fall under one event. The article should be kept, without a merger. Elektricity (talk) 11:42, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
