Hans Christian Ostrø

Thoroughly fails WP:ONEEVENT. Delete and redirect to 1995 kidnapping of western tourists in Jammu and Kashmir. Punkmorten (talk) 22:06, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to 1995 kidnapping of western tourists in Jammu and Kashmir (as ONEEVENT suggests: "In such cases, a redirect or merge are usually the better options. Cover the event, not the person."). There's nothing about this person that warrants a separate article. - Mgm|^(talk) 22:41, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. His death received a lot of coverage in the Indian media at the time, unlike the rest of the abductees (which is why I disagree with MacGyverMagic). Tintin 02:53, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral. Unaware of how the other victims were covered by RS but Ostrø's abduction and death received vast attention of a homogenous national media system over a long period, which might not be best served applied to the 1995 kidnapping article, more than filling a section. For all I know Ostrøs acting career had RS coverage before the event, though certainly not his small part in Kristin Lavransdatter. MURGH ^disc. 16:09, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
