This page may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion. The given reason is: G4: recreation of deleted content. This is the third incarnation of this page. I can't actually be sure that this is "a substantially identical copy" because I can't see the previous versions, but it's pretty similar to my recollection of the second incarnation. If it's not close enough for G4, it could be deleted as nn-bio or copyvio; or taken to AfD again

My comments: I don't have access to the version of the article discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shafilea Ahmed, but the old version was deleted because it violated WP:NPOV. The latest version is just a stub, but is free of WP:NPOV problems. And I think the case is notable because it deals with a so-called "honor killing", rather than a more routine murder. The stub should still be expanded, preferably by someone more familiar with the case than myself. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 01:07, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly it is a notable case as it has been among the most prominent murder cases in the UK in recent years, whether it is an honour killing or not (as per Wikipedia policy British English spellings should be used in the article because it relates to an incident in the UK) that is speculation and so far no one has been convicted over anything to do with the case and there is not considered to be sufficent evidence at present to charge anyone, there are arguments that maybe it doesn't merit a seperate article and that perhaps it should be as part of another article, perhaps a UK Murder related article that grouped together a number of murders maybe by time period?--Lord of the Isles 22:35, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The problem to a great extent is that it is disputed whether or not there was an arranged marriage, it is not at this moment clear with what regard 8 members of the extended family are being charged for attempting to pervert the course of justice in regard to and because that charge even though it is not a charge for the murder, it relates to the course of the investigation it is of course Sub judice.--Lord of the Isles 00:13, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the all the websites in The reference section of the page. There you will find all teh facts, and it is not disputed whether it was as a resukt of a forced marriage. The police heavily believe it was, and that she was murdered.
