Subject seems to fail WP:NEWSEVENT and WP:BLP1E. Was not notable prior to demise. Circumstances of death don't seem notable either, whether as an example of a particular type of crime or criminal psychology. LordVetinari (talk) 13:42, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with LordVetinari. This article is fit for deletion. Not an encyclopedic entry. Veryhuman (talk) 21:16, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, obviously an unfortunate event, but no evidence of notability presented, despite oblique reference to attacks on overseas students.--Grahame (talk) 00:49, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The WP:BREAKING section of WP:EVENT recommends waiting to create articles such as these, but it also recommends waiting to nominate them for deletion due to the potential for further developments. The crime has received substantial coverage in India and Australia so I'm going to follow that guideline's recommendation for now, even though it's likely I'll end up agreeing with the nom.

Reply I nominated it as I doubted there would be notable further developments. The discovery of the crime is no longer breaking news, the arrest of the alleged offender has almost closed the case as far as newspaper headlines are concerned. The crime was not a long-term unsolved mystery. The crime does not appear to be racially motivated (and this raises questions of the relevance of this link). The victim was not notable. The alleged offender was not notable. The crime did not appear to provoke any notable incidents (large-scale protests, war between India and Australia etc). Even though my opinion of the article's notability hasn't changed, I agree with your suggestion, Location, of following the guideline you noted. I hadn't read that section so thank you for bringing it to my attention. LordVetinari (talk) 06:00, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
