Some police officers kill themselves, just like some other people kill themselves. But stringing a few case histories together just because they're Indian police officers isn't at all encyclopaedic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:27, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - At the moment, the subject of the article relies on a single newspaper article. If someone can dig up a few other sources, I'm willing to change my !vote to keep.- MrX 14:06, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete As MrX says, the entire topic is based on a single newspaper article. At the moment it does not scream notability but I'm open to persuasion. I have notified the creator of the article so hopefully they will comment on any plans to improve it. Philg88 ♦talk 15:06, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Sorry to sound harsh but we don't need articles on every single police officer death!. –Davey2010 • (talk) 19:23, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge selectively to Suicide in India. I did some looking -- to the extent I can in English -- and did find a couple academic papers that touch on it, but they aren't substantial. If someone wants to take a look through the references they cite, they're here and here (both PDFs). --— Rhododendrites talk | 20:20, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Thanks for the references Rhododendrites. I'm not sure that "merge" would be better than "keep" – the Suicide in India article has a "Dynamics" section where two of the three sub-topics (Domestic violence and suicide, Suicide motivated by Politics and Farmer's Suicide) have links out to ((main)) articles, suggesting that if we can establish notability this one should be a standalone article. On a more general note, if it is kept than there should be a move to Police suicides in India or similar given the grammar/clunkiness problem with the current title.

- Merge as suggested. Thus topic by itself is more of a research topic than an encyclopedia article. Bearian (talk) 22:07, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, I wrote this article as to know information about Indian police officers suicide. Definitely article is an encyclopedia. Police is in India facing huge pressures e.g. political, system, public, family etc to deliver their duties. In this situation if they are not able to handle situations/ balance, trend says reason of their suicide and numbers are high.GKCH (talk) 03:34, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I can understand why you think that this is important, but what we need for Wikipedia purposes is more references that back up your assertion that this is a notable topic. If you can find sources that show the trend you have identified, then the article has a much better chance of surviving this AfD. Philg88 ♦talk 04:16, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
