• Comment I am inclined to say WP:1E or WP:NOTNEWS. I will think on it. Lightburst (talk) 23:40, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - I have improved the article further and have also added more references. To show notability, I will make argument here only considering Delwoar's death (Please note that the article is not necessarily about Delwoar but rather it is about his murder). This article satisfies the criteria for WP:VICTIM and WP:ONEEVENT under WP:BIO. For better understanding of WP:1E or WP:ONEEVENT, consider the examples of wiki page for Rodney King or George Floyd under the same criteria. Do you know George Floyd outside of one single event? And if you do not, then would you like to delete that page? I assume you will agree that in case of George Floyd, the single event itself has lasting impact and hence lasting notability. Now, I have to show that the murder incident of Delwoar satisfies the notability criteria for single event. If you go through the reference section of the article, you will find that all the major news media outlet of Bangladesh has continued to cover the death, investigation and demand of justice for this murder. The dates of those articles are (in ascending order): May 17, May 18, May 21, May 22, May 26, May 27, Jun 2, July 18, and July 19 of 2020. In a country where 1 million people die every year, do you think the news sources have any reason to cover a non-notable incident continuously? Thanks. - Kaisernahid (talk) 01:27, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep- I am convinced that given the coverage of his death and the prevalence of corruption in Bangladesh that there will have a lasting effect and coverage. I am also convinced by the arguments put forward by Kaisernahid.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 06:27, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - as discussed above, passes WP:NEVENT. Article has been significantly expanded after the nomination. --Zayeem ^(talk) 15:39, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Per WP:GNG. Per sources. Per WP:NEVENT.BabbaQ (talk) 09:27, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Agree that this passes WP:GNG. -- Dane ^talk 02:53, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as significant, because of the good constructive improvements since the nomination. --Lockley (talk) 03:55, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
