Article fails WP:EVENTCRIT: The event is unlikely to have lasting historical significance (WP:LASTING) and is not being widely covered, as most articles are rehashing each other (WP:DIVERSE). There is also no in-depth coverage, which should not be a surprise as very little actually happened. This story is not different from the Andrew Sabisky incident or Oxford bans clapping news story that got a lot of attention, but only very briefly and which had no lasting impact on anyone. Instead, parts of the article could be added to the Oxford University Student Union article. Caius G. (talk) 20:44, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Good God, that's a walking NPOV issue, not to mention a failure of WP:EVENTCRIT, with additional WP:SENSATIONAL and WP:DELAY issues going on. Whatever useful information should be put on the OUSU article, as the nominator said, but the article title is an unlikely search term and therefore not a useful redirect.

Delete. Per Kncny11. Aivin G. (talk) 02:37, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Even Disha Ravi arrest event did not have lasting historical significance. If you delete that article, then please delete this. -AppuduPappudu (talk) 14:00, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- AppuduPappudu, this is not a discussion about the Disha Ravi arrest, see also WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Even if a comparison was a valid way to determine notability, the subject of the article you mention has received wider attention and lasting (media) impact. Best, Caius G.

Delete the very title of the article has POV-pushing issues. I do not think we have enough information on Rashmi Samant to justify an article, but if we do we should put it under a neatral title, not this POV-pushing one.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:37, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Oxford University Student Union. The neutrality issues are not a reason for deletion, but failing WP:EVENTCRIT very much is. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 03:42, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as failing WP:EVENTCRIT and Oppose Redirect. The title is not a likely search term and has OR and POV issues, making a redirect problematic.4meter4 (talk) 03:01, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
