Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Man-eating elephant
Only a handful of major media outlets appear to have covered this incident; it took several Google searches with different keywords to locate just three stories (http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2002-06-25/kolkata/27302011_1_elephant-forest-officials-shot, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/2062876.stm, http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-25633862_ITM).  Nothing indicates that this particular elephant attack had a lasting impact or received persistent coverage  (fails ,  and ).  Other elephant attacks in India have claimed even more lives (e.g. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/16248233/ns/world_news-south_and_central_asia/t/serial-killer-elephant-shot-dead-india/) so it's not even notable as the worst attack of its kind.  It may be appropriate to include a sentence or two about this incident in Elephant#Attacks, but some of the article's details appear to be incorrect.  For example,  (1) elephants are herbivores and cannot be "man-eating" and (2) the news sources say 13 victims, not 17
