Don't see any evidence if this subject had any coverage after April 2016. Nominating per WP:NOTNEWS. My Lord (talk) 16:26, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Abundant in-depth coverage from several reliable sources. Incidents such as these typically lead to investigations, trials and lengthy discussions. NOTNEWS does not apply. 23:43, 3 July 2018 (UTC)Eastmain (talk • contribs)
Delete.Fails WPNOTNEWS , WP:ROUTINE and lacks WP:LASTING coverage after April 2016. Sadly these type of incidents are routine in the Kashmir conflict and most cases there is no followup .Now at best these can be included if there is a list not clearly not notable for a standalone article.

delete article created by SPA following the recent news coverage of that time. But now further observations show that subject totally fails WP:NOTNEWS. Sdmarathe (talk) 06:00, 4 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. If Wikipedia covers multiple murders in the United States, it ought to cover multiple killings in India. Murder is more notable than bicycle theft. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 12:59, 4 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Equivalent retaliation is irrelevant. WP:NOTNEWS and WP:LASTING are the concerns. If an incident about bicycle robbery has received coverage for years then it will have it's own article. Lorstaking (talk) 13:08, 4 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate list of Murders. In case you are not aware there exists a seperate site known as Murderpedia, which Wikipedia is not. --DBigXray 19:33, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Does not meet WP:LASTING. Selective merge into Human rights abuses in Kashmir if some content merits merge. Adamgerber80 (talk) 21:53, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
