A sad event, but does not pass GNG MistyGraceWhite (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I started the article and within 3 minutes this user has posted the delete message. Uddhav Thackeray, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Opposition leaders including ex-Chief Minister of UP Akhilesh Yadav, politicians Priyanka Gandhi and Sanjay Raut have all talked about the murder and this is no longer a small case. Police had to disclose the religion of the accused to prevent the issue from being politicized on the religion grounds. Please do not delete the article.

• Delete per WP:NOTNEWS, this a very recent event, and there is no indication that coverage of it will be lasting, as sadly both murders and politicians grandstanding for a brief surge of support following a tragic event are both common. If coverage does turn out to be maintained beyond one news cycle, the article can always be recreated. Devonian Wombat (talk) 12:48, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• keep - there may be many murders in India but ones involving sadhus are flashpoints. [1] The same month 2020 Palghar mob lynching happened. The story isn't going away anytime soon. Grmike (talk) 21:22, 1 May 2020 (UTC)grmike[reply]
• Delete I checked about the subject and see that the subject attracted significant coverage only on 28 April. It is far from meeting WP:LASTING. Harmanprtjhj (talk) 08:06, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I have attempted to simplify the sock version but I don't see any justification for keeping the article since it fails notability. Srijanx22 (talk) 15:32, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
