The result was delete and redirect‎ to List of serial rapists. 1E concerns as well as BLP compliant sourcing, which is why I'm not preserving the history. However this is a viable ATD and he could be added thereto (with compliant sourcing). Star Mississippi 15:39, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a newspaper. If it weren't for the sourcing, I would've nominated this article for speedy deletion. I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 05:17, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:PERP. We don't create articles for every criminal. LibStar (talk) 10:10, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @LibStar: WP:PERP is when an article already exists on the crimes and we can merge this content into that article. Is there already an article on this topic? VR _talk 05:02, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:1E small jars tc 11:22, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is not just a single event and the rapes were committed over a period of time, right? VR _talk 05:02, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, there's a whole List of serial rapists that lists many standalone articles. Further, this has received DIVERSE CONTINUEDCOVERAGE.

What? I don't think so... CastJared (talk) 12:33, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep for now, as I don't see a compelling reason to delete. But it would be better if we can find an article to merge this too, because I can't find much reliably sourced content either.VR _talk 05:02, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:1E. The subject hasn't attracted enough coverage except for 1 event. Aman Kumar Goel ^(Talk) 06:31, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per OA, it is still receiving coverage. Dhankhar is being called 'one of the worst rapists in Sydney's recent history' say after Keith Simms. Fahads1982 (talk) 18:25, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You would expect coverage on 1 May in the source you provided as the District Court jury convicted Dhankhar on 24 April LibStar (talk) 18:39, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
