Keep Whether the article should be titled and deal with the shooting incident primarily or the individual is not not clear to me, the murder of this human rights activist and lawyer has been covered very substantially in reliable independent sources.

Keep - reliable sourcesm subject has been covered indepth by media.--BabbaQ (talk) 19:42, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It's very difficult to find coverage of him outside of either his murder or the death threats received prior to the murder, because that's what's flooding the media now, but there is some pre-murder coverage of him. This is a 10-page article, two of which detail Rehman's work on a case; it alone would probably not be enough to support notability, but it, the death threats, the murder, and the subsequent nationwide strike by attorneys in response to his killing, combine to confer notability, I think.
