This is an article about the stabbing of* a woman in a bar toilet. The incident is unfortunate of course, but the news is quite ordinary. It led to anti-misogyny protests that were - in my opinion - not enough to lend a notability credence to this news article. I propose that this article be deleted if deletion discussions concur.

• Keep Some people may think "Gangnam murder case" is quite ordinary of course. But I think we must place these incident in social context ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], etc). Thanks. --Idh0854 (talk) 06:24, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • This placement in social context should be written in the article itself, and should not be original research. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 11:23, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • I know. But I don't mean that of course. See the news sources above and sources of the article in korean wikipedia. Thanks. --Idh0854 (talk) 12:49, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • Idh0854, as mentioned by Finnusertop, you need to mention details in the article, otherwise this will be considered just a standard news story. For your assistance, and despite being the nominator, I have expanded the article with a few news reports that talk about the incident (including the citation of The Economist you provided). I don't know whether this improves the article, but I've tried some. Thanks. Xender Lourdes (talk) 02:11, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or Move to Draft as it's too soon to tell whether this is an enduring event. Stuartyeates (talk) 09:58, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - per Idh0854 reasoning. and sources presented.BabbaQ (talk) 21:25, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. The murder received significant coverage, but yes, WP:NOTNEWS. However, it has also had impact on Korean society, triggering debates, discussions, activism, etc ([6], [7]) and the discussion continues even now ([8]). This seems to make it was Wikipedia:Notability (events)/Wikipedia:Notability (crime). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:31, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
