Deletion of Sandeep Unnikrishnan

Comment: per #NEWS. We do not have articles for each person killed by terrorists, or while fighting terrorists. This is an encyclopedia and not a memorial site or a newspaper

Comment: That would violate , let us instead improve our coverage of India and all those countries who we cover poorly on wikipedia. Thanks

Comment: that is exactly what |Wikipedia is not for. The entire article shows only one specific event and #NEWS|Wikipedia is not a newspaper. There is one place very suitable for this article: :wikinews. The event itself is notable, and yes we have the article, but we don't need each article for every specific details

Comment: per #MEMORIAL. Use the news articles to mention his name in the main article: the terrorist attack incident. There is no need to have a separate article. Not this time, when there is no |notability proofs of the subject outside the accident topic

Comment: that we can consider the one whole article here.  I have merged ''Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan'' to this article.  This is not a substantive change that would, in my view, warrant a relisting and regathering of consensus.  If others disagree with that assessment please feel at liberty to relist.  It still looks like  to me

Comment: Redirect to November 2008 Mumbai attacks or List of victims of the November 2008 Mumbai attacks per . Right now Major Sandeep is best known and primarily covered for getting killed. One burst of news coverage is not enough for WP:N general notability. Enduring interest should be proven over time. We're still in the news cycle. Alternately, if his heroics are formally reconized, such as by a Param Vir Chakra or Ashoka Chakra Award, notability can be established that way. Until then, a biography for an officer killed in battle is premature at best

Comment: Although  applies here, but Lee Harvey Oswald is not only notable for one particular event. Please read the article

Cited policy: Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions (WP:WAX)

Comment: I have something to say about Uncle G's comments. The link hidden in his often repeated statement "That argument has zero basis" is Wikipedia:NOT#MEMORIAL. This argument holds only when somebody creates an article to honor departed friends and relatives. I don't think any of the contributors to the article is a relative or friend of Sandeep.As for the notability requirements, the most relevant guide line applicable here is  and hence we will have to see whether the person passes . It says "When a person is associated with only one event, such as for a particular relatively unimportant crime or for standing for governmental election, consideration needs to be given to the need to create a standalone article on the person." Clearly the event associated with the person is not unimportant by any measures. Then it says "If reliable sources only cover the person in the context of a particular event, then a separate biography '''may be''' unwarranted."  That is, it does not say it ''is'' unwarranted.Further, it says "Information on the person should generally be included in the article on the event itself, unless the sources have written primarily about the person, and only secondarily about the event."  There are reliable sources which are primarily written about the person, like http://www.hindu.com/2008/11/29/stories/2008112959030900.htm, http://news.webindia123.com/news/articles/India/20081128/1115900.html, http://www.telegraphindia.com/1081129/jsp/nation/story_10182139.jsp, http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Bangalore/Maj_Sandeep_UnniKrishnan_-_A_school_remembers/articleshow/3770767.cms, http://www.newkerala.com/topstory-fullnews-53547.html, http://www.hindu.com/2008/11/30/stories/2008113054460800.htm, http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Cities/Patna/Bihar_Regiment_fondly_remembers_Major_Unnikrishnan/articleshow/3774097.cms, http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/uncategorized/commando-slain-in-mumbai-was-to-visit-home-next-month_100124727.html

Comment: possibly '''merge''' to Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, obviously, which is about the same person, then rename the article to ''Sandeep Unnikrishnan'' per . I suggest that the notability issue is reevaluated after a month or so, after media coverage of the event is largely over, when the lasting significance of the people involved in the event can be better evaluated
