Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sandeep Unnikrishnan
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
