Quote: "Friends and family members of Keenan and Reuben, started a social media campaign to ensure that this incident got visibility". Including making a WP article, it seems. Unfortunate event for sure, but this is local news of no global nor historical interest, as much as the article tells us about it. Also nominating the related redirects: Keenan Santos and Reuben Fernandes. - Nabla (talk) 08:56, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:EVENT, local news of no global nor historical interest. - DonCalo (talk) 11:07, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - the article needs a rewrite. For me the fact that the facebook group has achieved a large number of hits makes me think the case has recieved widespread attention in India. We all know had this been an "American story" it would have not been an issue of "local story".--BabbaQ (talk) 11:33, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, US (UK, 'western') stories get through to WP more easily than India's (or Cameroon, or Guatemala, or Portugal for that matter :-). The way to go is to better filter (out non) meaningful US stories, not to include any little Indian story. - Nabla (talk) 18:51, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, routine news coverage that runs afoul of WP:NOTNEWSPAPER. Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 21:08, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
