No Delete: Prakash Singh Badal is Chief Minister of Punjab (not some tea maker in streets). Vikram Singh, who has thrown shoe on him on an event due to unemployment prevailing in Punjab is critical issue. Moreover, many charges were thrown on him which are wrongly charged by Punjab Police which lead to intervention of Human Rights. It is similar to Jarnail Singh (politician), Muntadhar al-Zaidi. But, if wiki have policy of only creating articles for Shoe throwers on American Politicians then you may proceed with deletion (i don't know this rule). The person who is saying above that this is BOO, then could you please provide stats of country where shoe throwing on politicians is very common and is part of culture and occur the second day? Moreover this incident, includes multiple events, shoe throwing, Aam Aadmi Party Involvement, Human Rights violation etc and even got support from Punjabis abroad. Rather then marking for deletion first it should be ask for expansion or merger? Rest wikipedia is yours :). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Karantsingh (talk • contribs) 05:35, 24 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: Davey-For an instance, If you throw shoe on Obama. You are caught by police and put into false charges. You belong to some anti Obama Group. Also People fed up of Obama come in your support. Then I think you are notable man. Please do not throw show on Obama for coming on to wikipedia ;)
