HE definitely does not deserve to be on wikipedia! In my opinion this subject lacks notability! see. WP:NOTE ... The only noteworthy thing he did was hurl shoes at an Indian minister. And since this was after the Muntadhar al-Zaidi incident, it was not even an original idea! Moreover, majority of the article consists of The Shoe incident and Immediate Aftermath which are part of the same incident thus making is unencyclopedic..

OPPOSE - Come on buddy, the shoe hurling incident by Jarnail Singh stirred the whole country. If you are from India, You can ask and verify from any of your neighbour that they know Sikh Journailst Jarnail Singh or not? If you have any probelm with contents of article, you are welcome to modify it. But Plz don't mark it for deletion. Quality Check ^(talk)

I'm from India and live in a University campus and no one remembers any such thing. I had to research on it to find out it happened. Guess, people to whom it was an important incident remember it and that's an insignificant section of the world. The logical question, I guess is, should we publish every things that is published on Indian newpapers?

I suggest merge and redirect to Shoeing (or some other appropriate target). I can understand the BLP1E arguments here, but the incident does seem to have received substantial and extended coverage, and some of the content and sources of this article might be profitably added to the discussion of this incident currently contained at Shoeing. Per WP:BLP1E and WP:1E, the prefered result when dealing with a one-event biography is not to delete the content but rather to move it to an article about the event rather than the person.--Arxiloxos (talk) 19:10, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
