Horrible and highly condemnable incident but fails NEVENT. WP is not newspaper. Saqib (talk I contribs) 10:02, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've merged the content into List of blasphemy cases in Pakistan to ensure that editors' efforts are not wasted. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 15:30, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with List of blasphemy cases in Pakistan, per @Saqib's comment. Incident isn't WP:N enough to warrant an article. —Mjks28 (talk) 00:09, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per above. I mean it was already so in theory it can be redirected but, yes. PARAKANYAA (talk) 12:22, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Merge as per the above recomendation I do agree with the nominator's concern.223.123.10.196 (talk) 01:01, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~ - There is a continued coverage about the incident. see. Mfarazbaig (talk) 13:32, 27 June 2024 (UTC) — Mfarazbaig (talk · contribs) is a confirmed [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/{{{2}}}|sock puppet]] of [{{canonicalurl:User:{{{2}}}}} {{{2}}}] ([[User talk:{{{2}}}|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/{{{2}}}|contribs]]).

- Mfarazbaig, OK but WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE also states coverage does not need to be ongoing for notability to be established, a burst or spike of news reports does not automatically make an incident notable.— Saqib (talk I contribs) 14:21, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Weak merge If the continued coverage is in some way transformative, as with Murder of Ahmaud Arbery, then a separate article might be merited. Is there a connection between this incident and larger social forces in Pakistan? Darkfrog24 (talk) 12:54, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
