Keep A terrorist organization asassinated a Supreme Court justice. Intrinsic notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:01, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @E.M.Gregory:: Sorry, but that is incorrect, "the chief of the secretariat" is not a justice. --Randykitty (talk) 02:54, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I see. He was, "the head of the Supreme Court’s secretariat", "a senior officer of the nation's highest court," Washington Post [1]. I have no idea what that means in terms of what his job was. The coverage of this attack was certainly international. Deletion seems to remove useful information about this period of Afghan/Taliban history. Is there a logical target article to which you suggest a redirect?E.M.Gregory (talk) 09:19, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the coverage was international (as could be expected), but not lasting (unfortunately, attacks like this are all too common in Afghanistan to generate lasting coverage), so this fails BLP1E, I think. Perhaps there's somewhere a list of Taliban attacks/assassinations? --Randykitty (talk) 12:44, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - notable, per sources, per assasinated supreme court justice. Per WP:GNG.BabbaQ (talk) 23:36, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment BabbaQ, as stated above, tRaufi was not a justice, but "the chief of the secretariat". No lasting coverage either. --Randykitty (talk) 04:29, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and Move to Draft at best as I myself would've also considered keeping, noticing the Supreme Court mentions, but this is also still questionable for its own notable article and there's also no actual article for him either. Therefore, there's simply nothing else better convincing especially since it was a then-event. SwisterTwister talk 19:07, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
