Safoora Zargar → Arrest of Safoora Zargar – subject is notable only for her arrest WP:1E hence the title should be moved During the afd discussion at least 2 editors wanted it renamed shown it below. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Girdlast888 (talk • contribs) 09:18, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

The following comments have been pasted here by nominator from the AfD in question. —usernamekiran (talk) 21:19, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Keep but Rename to Arrest of Safoora Zargar to satisfy BLP1E. The event is notable, since it has received significant coverage over quite a long period of time, but the person at the centre of it is probably not. I am noting a lot of, shall we say politicised arguments brought up by Keep voters. Also User:Sturdyankit, you may only vote once, I have stricken your second Delete vote for you. Devonian Wombat (talk) 22:50, 28 May 2020 (UTC) Keep - an alternative option could be renaming something like the Arrest of Kafeel Khan article. Also, I disagree with Numan765's view of the subject's attention-seeking approach. She was thrown behind the bars when the CAA issue as well as the protests took a backseat. --Hindustanilanguage (talk) 19:59, 24 May 2020 (UTC) Girdlast888 (talk) 09:18, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose activists are usually arrested by the police, and hence renaming this to the Arrest of Safoora Zargar is redundant. Safoora Zargar#Political activism and Safoora Zargar#Online vilification sections indicates that the subject is notable and relevant to the current title.

• Oppose: She is an activist and despite arrests there are more information as activist is available. Like personal life section about her marriage is from a interview when she was not in the controversy and is from independent source. Remaining the thing the Girdlast888 said, Kafeel Khan was a doctor. Safoora is activist and there is lot of info available out of her arrest. — The Chunky urf Al Kashmiri ^{(Speak🗣️ or Write✍️)}

• Comment Safoora Zargar was pregnant when she was arrested and she is solely notable for this and coverage was due to this.She fails WP:GNG as an activist and during the AFD the two editors who keep Devonian Wombat and Hindustanilanguage also wanted the name to be changed to Arrest of Safoora Zargar and this is a clear case of WP:1E.

• Reply: Reference number 12 is not from the after arrest. It is an independent source and is of 2018, when she was simply an activist. Thank You. There maybe more sources of her activism available in media coverages. — The Chunky urf Al Kashmiri ^{(Speak🗣️ or Write✍️)} 11:07, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose: She is notable as an activist, which got her arrested. Not vise versa. (Ashique2020 (talk) 19:10, 9 September 2020 (UTC))

• Comment Went through the references except Reference number 12 All others are after her arrest.She had no coverage before her arrest and this a case of WP:1E.Girdlast888 (talk) 11:35, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

An interview Zargar gave months before her arrest was also turned into two articles after her arrest - I do not know whether it formed the basis of an article in Hindi or some other Indian language before her arrest:
