WP:CONTENTFORK from 2016–17_Kashmir_unrest#April_2017. The article has been created for WP:PROPAGANDA. The title and the contents violate WP:NPOV by WP:CHERRYPICKing of sources. Marvellous Spider-Man 17:41, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
- Delete - As I mentioned on the talk page, this article is an extreme POV take on the affair. Some cleaned up version of this content can be added to Srinagar (Lok Sabha constituency) by-election, 2017 but there is absolutely no need for a separate article. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:32, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
- Delete - As per the above statements, and no/very little encyclopedic content in the article that does not necessitate a separate article. All issues are elaborated on the article's talk page. --- Tyler Durden (talk) 05:38, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
- Delete per nom and above. —MBlaze Lightning T 10:11, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
- Delete Severe lack of NPOV, article from get-go implies that all casualties were targeted killings, which isn't the case here, and poll bound violence is somewhat a common occurrence in state of J&K and some parts of India.Redhat101 Talk 00:47, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:PROPAGANDA. Capitals00 (talk) 08:59, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
- Keep, It is not a content fork, it was created first. Also it is notable event as it was first time in history of the world and India that people were killed on the day of Democratic election. So it should have separate article. I don't see any mention of target killings in the article, it is mentioned that the bullets were returned on protesters.

- You should open and read the page on WP:CONTENTFORK. A content fork is the creation of multiple separate articles (or passages within articles) all treating the same subject. [...] Examples of this might be the cuisine of a particular region forking from an article about the region in general... You can fork the 'cuisine' article from the 'region' article if the cuisine is notable, by making a summary-style spin off. This incident is a part of 2016–17_Kashmir_unrest#April_2017. The election coincided with an ongoing unrest, and so the violence occurred on the election day. The article was created by you on 9 April.[1] The content on this subject was summarized in the unrest article on 11 April,[2] after the creation of this article, and not by you. You did not bother to summarize about this anywhere before/after your creation of this fork. Also, here is the evidence that you were an active editor of the parent article, and well-aware of its existence.[3]
it was created first
: Created first, before what article? Even the by-election article was created on 16 March,[4] 25 days before this article's creation.it is mentioned that the bullets were returned on protesters
: Please read the 2nd section on the talk page. Regards, Tyler Durden (talk) 17:25, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

- Keep. More than the by-polls itself, the killings made global headlines. The event is notable enough to have its stand alone article. The Guardian Al Jazeera DAWN BBC Economic Times India Today - Mfarazbaig (talk) 14:51, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
