The term "Rajouri massacre" or even "massacre" to describe these events are not found in any reliable source. The creator of this page took a two-line blurb from 1947 Jammu massacres#Rajouri and built a shell around it. I can't see how this can be an independent topic worth its own page.

Many Wikipedia articles are referred to as a "Massacre", even with as few deaths as 10-30 (nowhere close to 30,000 of which many are refugees). Also, the article fits the definition of massacre, exactly like the article 1947 Mirpur Massacre. Below are many reliable sources (note that many of these have not been used in the article 1947 Jammu Massacre, so it is a distinct event) to a Massacre in Rajouri, either using both words in the same sentences (eg. "Massacre of Hindus and Sikhs in Rajouri") or explicitly referring to the event as the "Rajouri Massacre":

Feel free to add these links as references to the article. I see no need to remove such an article.
