Non-notable? Prod'd, disputed, reprod'd. Let's let the public decide. UtherSRG (talk) 16:54, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

• Strong delete - fails WP:OR, a nn person. The references mentioned are not proper & poorly sourced. The editors involved are trying to make close of other editors eyes by simply quoting Hindu news papers and all. --Tomb of the Unknown Warrior tomb 17:12, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. The article is well-referenced, and this is not a case of a person notable only for a single event. --Eastmain (talk) 18:24, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

• Strong Keep. The article is well-referenced with 20 references, Navneet Singh Khadian was a notable person who was the chief-general of Khalistan Liberation Force. I agree with Eastmain that this is not a case of a person notable only for a single event.Singh6 (talk) 06:38, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

• Where are those 20 references? --Tomb of the Unknown Warrior tomb 06:59, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

• Respected Sir/Madam, please read the article. Navneet Singh Khadian was also known as Navneet Singh Kadian alias Navneet Singh Quadian alias Pal, and hence various references with a slight change in the first two letters of his last name can be found on the web. Please note that user Mightyunit is continuously deleting the references from this article even though this AfD discussion is in process. Also, I have deeply studied the references before adding them into the article because Kadian alias Khadian @ Quadian was name of his town. Singh6 (talk) 07:28, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete or mention he was a terrorist.

Please do not get fooled by the number of references in the article. Half of these references do not even mention Navneet Singh: [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

These references have exactly one sentence on Navneet Singh:

• [10]: "Two other arrested along with me were Navneet Singh and Nirbhai Singh." (NOTE: ihro.in is a Khalistani propaganda site. Please see WP:RSN#ihro.in.
• [11]: Sources disclosed that the other accused in the case, Navneet Singh Kadian, Manjit Singh and Gurjant Singh Budhsinghwala, active members of Khalistan Liberation Front, a terrorist outfit, were later killed by police in encounters.
• [12] "Rajendra was rescued by the police from a house at the outskirts of Jaipur after a shootout in which terrorist Navneet Singh Kandia was killed."
• [13] Out of six accused, Dayal Singh Lahoria, who was extradited from the US, was acquitted by the Special Court in 2001, while Navneet Singh Kadia was killed in an encounter with the police in Jaipur last year.
• [14] He was rescued by the police after a two-hour gun-battle in which dreaded terrorist Navneet Singh Kandiya was killed. Police also recovered a bag containing RDX.

This reference has exactly two sentences about Navenet Singh:

• [15]: "A key leader of the KLF's Navneet Singh Qadian faction, Bhap had reactivated contacts in the Jalandhar area in early May." "The last of these had been carried out to secure Deepak's release from prison, and a subsequent police operation resulted in the elimination of KLF supremo Navneet Singh Qadian."

It says "Navneet Singh’s associates were also involved in the abduction of Romanian diplomat Liviu Radu in the year 1992[12]to publicize their cause at the world level." But Navneet Singh himself was not really important in this episode. Please search for "Liviu Radu" and see if any of the news articles contain his name. The terrorists had kidnapped the diplomat because they wanted the Indian government to release terrorists who had murdered innocents[16]. When Indian government refused they still kept him to gain publicity. However, Radu was too unimportant a target for government to concede to their demands, so they had to release Radu unharmed.[17]

User:Singh6 is a Khalistani propagadist[18][19][20] and is trying to justify killings by terrorists. The article is written in a very propaganda manner to suit the needs of Khalistani apologists. The entire section "How he was affected by his surroundings" is synthesis of unrelated references that do not mention Navneet Singh.

If this article is not deleted, please mention that Navneet Singh Khadian was a terrorist (as clearly mentioned by all the references that mention Navneet Singh). 202.54.176.51 (talk) 07:37, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
