Assasinated Salmaan Taseer. Otherwise, non-notable. Should disappear per WP:PERPETRATOR. PepperBeast (talk) 20:42, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Salmaan Taseer; and with far less detail, obviously. -The Gnome (talk) 00:01, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and note that despite the general rule we do have both Category:Assassins of heads of state and Category:Assassins of heads of government. In this case the political complexity of the celebration of Qadri and his act of political murder argues for keep.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:56, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep it meets WP:PERPETRATOR. samee converse 20:21, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment quoting WP:PERP A person who is known only in connection with a criminal event or trial should not normally be the subject of a separate Wikipedia article if there is an existing article that could incorporate the available encyclopedic material relating to that person [emphasis mine]. This shouldn't be a separate article, and if there's anything useful that isn't covered in Salmaan Taseer, it should be merged into that article.PepperBeast (talk) 21:36, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You can not vote twice in your own AfD. The AfD in itself is your !vote.BabbaQ (talk) 07:23, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep indeed it meets WP:PERPETRATOR. Act of political murder.BabbaQ (talk) 07:24, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain how this meets WP:PERP PepperBeast (talk) 07:41, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep with regret but some obvious reasons. Per WP:BIO1E, If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate.. Generally, I'm not in favor of keeping bios about low level terrorists but the unfortunate assassination of Salman Taseer attracted wide media attention and is of significant historical importance. This terrorist is subject of massive media attention, and therefore clearly meets the notability criteria, unfortunately. The actions of this terrorist have turned the spotlight onto the issue of blasphemy law in Pakistan and lead to significant debate on the issue. --Saqib (talk) 09:12, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Shame on you for using word terrorist. There is no RS saying him terrorist. His was only one victim. He was convicted and hanged till death, now forgive him. Care to know Osama Bin Laden is not directly named terrorist in Wikipedia. Salute to your loudmouth. --103.218.102.30 (talk) 08:42, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm aware term such as "terrorist" should be avoided in article NS but this is not main NS. For what it's worth. Qadri was charged with murder and terrorism and so he was a convicted terrorist. By the way, you should stop using proxies by now.--Saqib (talk) 09:07, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@103.218.102.30 I'm not aware of a threshold for the number of victims which an assassin has to pass in order to be labeled a "terrorist." What is it? As far as I can remember my History, the anarchist assassins of the 19th century (and some of the 20th) were describing themselves as "terrorizing the ruling classes." By the way, in the article "Osama bin Laden," the word "terrorist" is found thirty-four times. (A bit harsh, you think?) -The Gnome (talk) 11:39, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

According to Wikipedia guidelines, its a keep. M A A Z T A L K 20:49, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - we've tended to do this for assassins, horrible as it is. Bearian (talk) 02:31, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
