  • Delete per nom. Sure, some people called Kashmir TMDPITW,[1][2] but you can find others who called Somalia that,[3][4] or Syria.[5] That Clinton quote had no lasting power. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:09, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into Kashmir, or whichever event(s) this sentiment is based on (PS. quoting the article, "nuclear war between India and Pakistan over the issue of Kashmir"), perhaps as "Some, including Bill Clinton, once considered Kashmir 'the most dangerous place in the world' (due to this incident)." This opinion would be notable (under that cause, not separately) if multiple notable people and/or reliable sources called on that in the wake of that cause. 野狼院ひさし Hisashi Yarouin 08:41, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Notability is not inherited. While the dispute is quite notable, this quote can atmost get a mention in the dispute article (that too if requred in context of a descriptive section). --lTopGunl (talk) 13:19, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete It is just a journalistic headline. Kautilya3 (talk) 17:07, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The subject is amply covered by the Kargil war page. People interested in the headline can add it there. Kautilya3 (talk) 21:02, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]


This information satisfies the criteria as an independent topic.

Continuing threat of nuclear war between India and Pakistan is the strongest fact to support this topic.

The purpose of Wikipedia is to provide facts to general public.

The topic "Kashmir - the most dangerous place in the world" was the opinion of President Bill Clinton. However, his opinion was supported by the facts presented in a book, “Engaging India: Diplomacy, Democracy and the Bomb” by former US Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott.

This book is praised by prestigious institutions such as Yale and Foreign Affairs (http://www.foreignaffairs.com). Maakhter (talk) 10:37, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here is another statement. Need more statements?

US deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage said, “there are a lot of other dangerous parts in the world. India and Pakistan over Kashmir comes to mind”Armitage also described Kashmir as “most dangerous place in the world” during his speech in Sydney in 2003.

Maakhter, all those references and statements combined together make point for a single statement in the Kashmir article pointing out that the region has been claimed to be dangerous. An article with such a title will not make something you will see in an encyclopedia. News and encyclopedic articles differ in their nature. --lTopGunl (talk) 00:30, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
