Criminal event without lasting relevance or coverage. Does not meet the WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE or WP:LASTING criteria of WP:NEVENT. All coverage appears to be from within a week of the event itself. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 00:04, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as this event is supported by significant amount of reliable sources, and is absolutely notable, as per WP:DIVERSE. Secondly, this event gained massive and repeated coverage, and was reported by all the large news agencies of the country, as well as foreign news agencies, as per WP:GEOSCOPE. Third, this event is very recent, and is reported for more than half a month (not for just 2-3 days), which is enough to make the event notable, otherwise events such as January 2017 Melbourne car attack and Zama Suicide Pact Slayings also wouldn't be notable. One may search in google about the event. SouravDas1998^{t@lk to me?} 12:51, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can you provide any sources of coverage in reliable sources from more than a week after the event? When I looked online, I saw a big flurry of press for the day this hit the news and a day or two after, then nothing. This is pretty common for sensationalist crime stories, which generally are not found to be notable. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 19:33, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any sources from February onward. Contrasts this with Zama Suicide Pact Slayings (in Nov 2017) - where one finds English sources easily from October 2018, and January 2019. Absent continuing coverage, this article is a clear delete. Icewhiz (talk) 08:01, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article is sufficiently sourced. Timing is irrelevant as that's the point of news: it's new. Most stories don't get coverage after a few days. Markvs88 (talk) 02:41, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Lack of WP:SUSTAINED coverage. There was a bunch of single newscycle coverage in mid-January when this broke. This has died down - I don't see anything at all from February onward. Icewhiz (talk) 07:56, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Also, stray dog killings are unfortunately not that uncommon in India. Just in the past few months there were also these news stories:

7 Puppies Found Dead In Delhi, Apartment Resident Alleges Animal Cruelty
Shocking: Tens of dogs poisoned, torched by people in Hyderabad suburb
In Peddapalli, civic workers poison, kill 35 dogs in 10 days

I think a broader article (such as Street dogs in India, Animal cruelty in India, or even Street dog killings in India) would be more appropriate. Surachit (talk) 18:09, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support I can get behind that as a concept. Markvs88 (talk) 18:13, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
