This appears to fail WP:NEVENTS due to lack of WP:PERSISTENCE coverage and a lack of WP:LASTING impact. The coverage seems routine and since WP is not a newspaper, we shouldn't create articles on every event just because it has been reported in WP:109PAPERS. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 08:54, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment does the prison itself have any notability? I don't dispute this fails NEVENT, but I am curious. PARAKANYAA (talk) 21:43, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Per nominations, so far no Independent coverage by reliable sources has found it also lack in WP:NNEWS. 2402:AD80:A1:8D76:1:0:E275:1FDD (talk) 21:58, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I mean there is plenty of reliable coverage. Lasting coverage is the question. PARAKANYAA (talk) 22:05, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
PARAKANYAA, Agree, there is coverage in Independent RS; I’m not denying that. RE your question about whether the prison itself is notable, it’s not because we don’t have an article on it. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 07:59, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Saqib Well, we don't have a lot of articles on things that would qualify under our GNG. Not saying this is one of them, but I was curious. PARAKANYAA (talk) 08:02, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And I'm not contesting the delete vote, just that specific argument. PARAKANYAA (talk) 08:02, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
PARAKANYAA, If anyone wants to rename the article to Rawalakot Prison, I have no objection. This way, we can retain the information in this article. However, I haven’t checked yet if this prison itself meets the GNG. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 08:37, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think that this article should be deleted rather it should be merged along with other small prison breaks like Dera Ismail Prison attack, Bannu prison break(does not have an article yet) into a single article "Prison Breaks in Pakistan". Tahir Pro (talk) 08:54, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: I updated the article to include additional relevant information and believe it should be kept. The WP:PERSISTENCE and WP:LASTING are not fully applicable, as the event’s significance is evident and continues to receive coverage. AJK is one of the most peaceful regions, and such events rarely happen here, which adds to the notability of the incident. Furthermore, escapes, including those charged with terrorism and death row prisoners, make this remarkable and lasting impact of this event. — Ainty Painty (talk) 08:12, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Right now it's just a subject of news coverage, and Wikipedia is not a collection of news stories. There has been no widespread societal effect. Any reason to keep is just personally finding it interesting or important. Don't create articles about news stories. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 00:16, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Merge into another article, preferably giving it a two-sentence mention. As wikipedia is not a newspaper. Rusty 🐈 15:21, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
