A non-notable random incident that lacks notability per WP:NOTNEWS. Incident was reported for less than 7 days[1] and most of the news website basically plagiarised other. It was just like 100s of other same incidents that occur[2][3] every year. We don't need article for each trivial information. Raymond3023 (talk) 05:19, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

• Delete only a few first-hand news reports. Fails WP:LASTING. Lorstaking (talk) 00:57, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

• Keep: This riot was covered well into late April and even July due to claims that it was a premeditated attack rather than general WP:ROUTINE communalism. Also, keep in mind that this also probably got more coverage in Hindi newspapers than English-speaking ones due to it taking place in India. Kamalthebest (talk) 23:45, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

But never again after April. Your source is an unreliable personal website which is saying nothing different than the news sources that covered event for a couple of days. Language card cannot be played here since all Indian articles use English language sources. Looks like you are only 2 of the editors of this article. If this article is any important then why you have to speculate and make claims without substance about this article which is inherently non notable. Raymond3023 (talk) 02:05, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

So, how long it has to be discussed? Riots usually get coverage for few months only. For instance 2015 Nadia riots or 2016 Kaliachak riots etc. AltNews.in has been widely cited for busting right-wing propaganda. We can discuss its acceptance as RS/N. --Jionakeli (talk) 20:17, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

• Delete per nom it is just another violation of WP:NOTNEWS. Lack of coverage in independent sources and already lost relevance only some days after the incident took place. D4iNa4 (talk) 07:08, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
• Delete per nom as per WP:NOTNEWS and has no WP:LASTING impact.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 10:52, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

• Keep WP:INDEPTH coverage over a span of several months[4] with WP:LASTING impact[5] being discussed in both National & International media certainly makes it a notable event! Jionakeli (talk) 20:10, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
