The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was merge with an option to split in the near future. There is neither consensus to delete nor consensus to keep at this time. There is a WP:ROUGHCONSENSUS to merge. I'll highlight one comment in particular that I felt articulated the merge position most clearly and succinctly.

When arguing to merge for now, IP editor 98.155.8.5 explained how originally the George Floyd standalone page wasn't deemed notable, either, outside of his death and the nation-wide protests that followed. As they further explained, now of course, there are multiple pages about him, including the aforementioned bio bearing his name. The point, though, is that it didn't happen right away (refer to the original Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/George Floyd). Personally, I'd predict with near-certainty that the same will be true for Mahsa Amini, just not quite yet. El_C 03:14, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The subject was not notable prior to her death. The article Death of Mahsa Amini is more than adequate to report all details of her life and death. WWGB (talk) 02:56, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sorry, but I do not have any relevant "political or religious orientation". I am an Australian atheist. I couldn't care less about the politics of Iran. My sole concern here is with an article that duplicates an existing article, per WP:OVERLAP. WWGB (talk) 10:52, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Really sorry but your contributions say something else.. anyway it's not important .. that's not my point. Caravaneternity (talk) 11:29, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please look at my global contributions [1], I created my account in Wiki on Jan 2022 and done many edits in other Wikipedias like Persian and Kurdish Wiki. Caravaneternity (talk) 12:05, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mhhossein, (Personal attack removed). I signed up on 19 July and was active in Persian Wikipedia. I also created this article کلیمیان سقز حامدصالحزاده (talk) 07:13, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Let the record show that your Global Contribution report shows two edits prior to this month.[7] WWGB (talk) 09:08, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is his second edit in en Wikipedia 56 mins before this AFD. @حامدصالحزاده: No Personal Attack please. --Mhhossein talk 12:14, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@WWGB As you said at the bottom of this page: Wikipedia is free content that anyone can edit. according to Global Contribution, although not very active, this user created his account on 19 July and created an article. so he is right. H2KL (talk) 18:43, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This commentary is bordering on WP:NPA. Please limit your comments to article content, and do not disparage other editors. WWGB (talk) 03:23, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The comments of the user H2KL are insulting; @admins: please stop him/her from editing in Wikipedia or atleast from such articles and pages. It seems the user has anti-Muslim thoughts and it makes him/her not neutral in such discussions. There are 2 billion Muslims in the world, you can not accuse and oppose all of them. Neutrality in wikipedia is important. Savalanni (talk) 10:38, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This IP and Muhafiz-e-Pakistan are both from Pakistan. Why are users from pakistan so interested in Mahsa Amini articles?!! Something is wrong here.H2KL (talk) 08:46, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Every editor of Wikipedia should be cognisant of Wikipedia:Five pillars, in particular, Wikipedia is free content that anyone can edit. WWGB (talk) 09:12, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@H2KL so? Pakistanis are firm believers in Islam and we stand alongside our Iranian brothers. I just casted a vote here. Muhafiz-e-Pakistan (talk) 21:52, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
According to this clear confession, this IP and Muafiz-e-Pakistan are not neutral on Wikipedia at least about this Mahsa Amini. Please study Malala Yousafzai too. H2KL (talk) 02:58, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Another breach of WP:NPA. If such behaviour continues, you will face sanctions. WWGB (talk) 03:23, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"This article will be much bigger than George Floyd". In your dreams ..... WWGB (talk) 10:04, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In principle, according to WP:N, George Floyd was not notable and therefore no matter how much can be written about him, there shouldn't be an article about him separate from the one about his murder, which is the only thing that makes him notable. Notability of a topic and the amount of information available about that topic are two completely different things. Given how prominent Mahsa Amini has become worldwide (there's even a plan by the city of Paris to make her an honorary citizen posthumously and name a public location after her), I think if George Floyd can have his own article, so can she.-- Ideophagous (talk) 20:34, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Wrong. According to WP:BIO1E, "if media coverage of both the event and the individual's role grow larger, separate articles may become justified." The thing is almost nobody in Iran cared about Mahsa Amini or other victims from the very beginning. The people, extremely exhausted by suppression from inside and extremely impoverished by sanctions from outside, are just looking for the smallest pretexts to burst out. One day it's the shortage of water in arid Iran, another day the collapse of a building, and today the suspicious death of a woman. That's why we know very little about Mahsa Amini.
The French government was recently accused of fomenting the unrest in Iran.[8] And they soon talked about making Mahsa Amini their honorary citizen and naming places after her. Not a bad reaction. 4nn1l2 (talk) 16:02, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"she was not notable while she was alive, her death and the reactions to it are a notable event with plentiful coverage in reliable sources". This means the article Death of Mahsa Amini must be kept and here discussed article Mahsa Amini should be better merged and redirected to it. We should not have two articles in Wikipedia both covering same events! Savalanni (talk) 21:53, 7 October 2022 (UTC)Savalanni (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside of This topic.

@Singularitywiki Your claim are not true, please look at my global contributions [9], I am registerd in Wiki on Feb. 2022 and done many edits and created new articles in other Wikipedias like AZB Wiki. In future please research enough to avoid false accusations. Savalanni (talk) 11:37, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What claims my friend? Singularitywiki (talk) 16:45, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
your argumentation about the case of "Mohamed Bouazizi" has an issue: in Wikipedia there is an article named "Mohamed Bouazizi" but there is no article named "Death of Mohamed Bouazizi"; creating two different articles in Wikipedia about same thing is not logical.
The only exeption known for me is in case of "George Floyd"; from my point of view it was also not logical there to create an article about "George Floyd" besides the article covering his death; this means one mistake is already happend, it must be corrected, we must not repeat the same mistake here based on that mistake! I may guess two reasons for creating the second article in case of "George Floyd": 1. English version of Wikipedia covers events in English speaking countries exceptionally. (This is normal and could be seen in other Wikis, e.g. Farsi Wikipedia covers the events in Iran with exception) 2. existence of too much information and facts about "George Floyd"'s life before his death. His life is well analysed and well documented.
But in case of Mahsa Amini none of these two reasons could be seen. We can not write more than two lines with ensiclopedic content about Mahsa Amini before her death. If you allow two articles about the case of Mahsa Amini, you must also allow two articles in case of Death of Hadis Najafi and in thousands of other cases. Savalanni (talk) 18:43, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Dear @Savalanni I think the wiki users didn't make any mistakes about Mohamed Bouazizi and George Floyd. Also I think It is true that Iran's protests begun with Mahsa Amini death and her name is on the protests. Hadis najafi was one of the protestors who went to street to protest Mahsa Amini's death like Nika Shakarami and others. We must help to introduce them to the people not try to delete their articles. Rezaalavi023 (talk) 13:31, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Rezaalavi023 we have already an article named Death of Mahsa Amini. Why we should have another one? Like in case of Death of Hadis Najafi we need only to have one article not two! Even in case of "Mohamed Bouazizi" we have only one article not two (it means "Death of Mohamed Bouazizi" is redirected to "Mohamed Bouazizi"). As I have written above the case of "George Floyd" was an exeption. Savalanni (talk) 20:02, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
this case is an exception too if you could study the contemporary history of iran, this recent events are so uniqe. better to have biography separated from death story as well as protests relevant to it. Dyakozaman (talk) 20:22, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Singularitywiki (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside of this topic. global contributios shows the user is registered newly and is acrtive only in single Wiki with merely 20 edits! Savalanni (talk) 11:55, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
