Although I was aggrieved that a woman of Indian origin was (unintentionally) killed by a white cop, and her death laughed at by another, we must keep our personal feelings to ourselves, not violate Wiki's policies. Kailash29792(talk)03:44, 26 December 2023 (UTC)reply
Keep Nominator seems to be stating that the woman involved is not otherwise notable. We agree, which is why the article is not named "
Jaahnavi Kandula". The event is notable though, as shown by the sustained coverage in the cited reliable third party sources.

I agree with this. The sustained media coverage that surrounded this incident makes it deserve its own page. The page has already been created, I do not believe there is a good enough reason to delete it all, simply because some deem it not noteworthy.

Keep as there is significant coverage by multiple third party sources, including local, national, and international media. This was an unusual event, a standard "traffic accident" in Seattle doesn't get coverage in the Guardian, USA Today, etc.
It's not ever her death that got attention, it's the aftermath of the police's reaction to the "thing" that happened that got the worldwide notice.

Delete. There is no sustained coverage here. We have a) initial reporting on the event, and b) initial reporting on a video of the event, which was released later. This is routine news coverage of a single event. --

Delete - This is a tragic event with obvious overtones of police callousness and racism, but ultimately it is a true crime-type of single event — not the nexus for ongoing protest, fundamental policy reform, or protracted community soul-searching. The coverage is thus ordinary news for one event. Certainly, an event such as this could have additional ramifications down the road which might might put things in an entirely different light; but as of January 2024, this falls under NOTNEWS, in my opinion. My condolences to the family and friends of the victim.

Keep or merge with
Seattle Police Department#2020s I live in the Seattle area and this has been talked about quite a bit around here. Now, I know that doesn't guarantee notability, but I think the event is important enough to have its own article, as there are enough sources to back up this event's notability. The content is a bit thin, and if the community agrees that this article can't stand up on its own two legs, I would merge with
Seattle Police Department#2020s per
Thebiguglyalien as the coverage merits some mention somewhere on Wikipedia.
