This subject is an Indian army captain who drowned in a training accident, which received substantial media coverage. This is undoubtedly a tragedy, and I don't doubt the good faith of the editor who created the article, but per WP:BLP1E and WP:NOTMEMORIAL, we shouldn't host an article about the individual, who was not a public figure.

Comment I agree that this incident does not merit a separate article. I have copied some content from this article to Kaylana_Lake#Incidents. --Walrus Ji (talk) 11:08, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
