Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sadaf Naeem

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. While the subject's death received significant coverage, the sense of the discussion is that there is insufficient coverage to show notability. Several people mentioned that a redirect to the march article is appropriate. I am not making that part of the close because I don't see that it reached consensus, but neither was it opposed. I therefore placed the redirect as a normal editing decision. Xymmax ^{So let it be written} _{So let it be done} 03:17, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Subject fails WP:BLP1E with minimal RS coverage prior to her untimely demise under circumstances that almost inevitably generated some tabloidish coverage. Ad Orientem (talk) 23:47, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Although most of coverage about Sadaf Naeem came with her accidental death but she as a news personality prior to her death was also somewhat notable so this article can stay. USaamo ^(t@lk) 08:31, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I can find no in-depth coverage regarding this journalist, except for death. Clear case of WP:BIO1E.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 10:24, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I'm not able to find any coverage about her that pre-dates her death, let alone anything in depth. Nothing I've seen from after her death has any in-depth coverage of her life prior to death. I would have suggested merging to 2022 Azadi March-II but the incident section there already covers everything notable. Thryduulf (talk) 11:31, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirecting to 2022 Azadi March-II seems plausible then. USaamo ^(t@lk) 11:38, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A redirect to 2022 Azadi March-II#Incident, after or instead of deletion, would not be inappropriate (although that section could do with a better title that is outside the scope of this discussion). Thryduulf (talk) 13:15, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That section has now been renamed, so any redirect should point to 2022 Azadi March-II#Sadaf Naeem death. Thryduulf (talk) 16:40, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Simple mentions in sources, where most are about her accidental death.--Tysska (talk) 12:22, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Her death was an tragic incident and got one time media coverage as sudden news or event happened but not significant. There is no space on media and in journalistic community about her work before and post death.M.Ashraf333 (talk) 13:21, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:LASTING. Her death received quite some media coverage and attention by the political class and I have also read that her death is seen as having been caused by some sort of sensationalism (rat race) by the media. Her death might encourage the improvement of the working conditions for journalists. There can be added a section reception to the article.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 22:16, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have added some phrases on the law now, and I found quite some more that could be added like the refusal of her husband to press charges, the aim of trying to get an exclusive interview from Imran Khan right before she died etc. and there is likely to be more around.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 00:42, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree with Paradise Chronicle. Lightburst (talk) 15:52, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Her death was unfortunate and tragic, but that does not make her notable. If it becomes notable, for instance by improved working conditions for the press or an award is named after her, then it should be reconsidered, but those things haven't happened. As of now, it's an accident that involved somebody who happened to be a non-notable journalist. Ira Leviton (talk) 19:00, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to 2022 Azadi March-II#Sadaf Naeem death. I can see someone searching for her name. The redirect allows the information to be there with more context. Joyous! | Talk 21:25, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
