 * Delete - As per nomination and Wikipedia is not a newspaper. — CutestPenguinHangout 06:17, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge to 2013 Thane building collapse or delete. Nomination correct but we could add bits about his being killed to the event he was notable for.  Neonchameleon (talk) 17:04, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment If the decision it to Merge, I would happily take care of that.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 17:11, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
 * IMO, merge will lead WP:UNDUE in 2013 Thane building collapse as it is not directly related to the collapse and was killed a year earlier. Redtigerxyz  Talk 06:19, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Strong keep Extremely notable case. Reading Times of India coverage in article established notability under GNG.ShulMaven (talk) 18:28, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment. I should have mentioned this earlier - I wrote the article, and so that's why I haven't lodged an official vote, but having the benefit of time for reflection: It does make sense to merge some additional information into the Thane Building Collapse article, since he's only notable in connection with the illegal building collapse. As said, Wikipedia is not a newspaper. There are a number of articles, mostly Times of India, but that alone does not provide notability, per WP:GNG.-- CaroleHenson   ( talk ) 18:48, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment The case is definitely notable. But this isn't an article about either the building collapse or his murder.  It's about the person himself.  As such it's a pretty clear case of wp:VICTIM.  Unless he's notable for something else the Wikipedia information about him should be covered under the pages for the various crimes. Neonchameleon (talk) 22:01, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
 * In that case, it should be redirected so that a search on his name leads to the building collapse article. NOT deleted.ShulMaven (talk) 21:45, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep - per user Shulmaven. Clear case of notability. --BabbaQ (talk) 15:17, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Suggestion - To an early point, I get that the murder happened before the building collapse and should be its own article, rather than rolled into the related 2013 Thane building collapse article. I'm hearing that the murder case is notable, but the subject would not pass notability guidelines otherwise. What about renaming it Murder of Sunil Kumar Lahoria? --<span style='text-shadow:0 -1px #DDD,1px 0 #DDD,0 1px #DDD,-1px 0 #DDD;'> CaroleHenson   ( talk ) 00:54, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Concur renaming to Murder of Sunil Kumar Lahoria will preserve useful, reliably sourced details of a the admiral justice seeking and consequent death of a hero who died in his attempt to build a functioning civil society for India.ShulMaven (talk) 02:59, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. Times of India coverage establishes notability. Rename if need be, but that's not relevant to deletion. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 23:07, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
