Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. Incident isn't notable enough for a standalone article. CycloneYoris ^talk! 08:22, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

• Keep — The article meets the notability criteria under WP:EVENT and WP:NOTE. The Gwalior Khasgi Bazar, Kala Gopal Apartment fire has been covered in-depth by multiple reliable, independent sources, including national and regional media (Assam Tribune, Daijiworld, Wikipedia-cited articles) which reported not only the fire but also the legal aftermath, public safety discussions, and community impact which makes it suitable for WP:RS

This is not a routine local incident — the scale of the event, the involvement of illegally stored hazardous materials, the injury of emergency personnel, and the legal and civic consequences demonstrate lasting notability. The article is verifiable per WP:V and written in a neutral tone in line with WP:NPOV.

Arguments about the article being "recent" WP:RECENT or local WP:LOCAL do not apply here, as the coverage goes well beyond routine reporting and the issues raised are of broader social concern in India.

Unless substantial evidence is presented that this is not a notable event, the article should be retained.

• Delete. A brief burst of news coverage does not indicate notability. Recreate if it ever becomes a WP:CASESTUDY. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 18:02, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:EVENTCRIT: {{tq|Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance.}} No enduring significance to be seen here. "Government officials are reviewing permit records and considering stricter enforcement of building codes" - so nothing has actually happened yet as a result.

• Deete A very sad story, but this is routine news coverage of a local fire with a standard response at this point (with the authorities 'shocked' at what happened even though they approved it and then 'cleaning' up the mess; sadly, the standard script for 'Indian workplace in a place it was never approved to be in' fires) with standard reporting in national sources. And Michael, if you respond to this vote, please do it in your own words and not with a copied macro shortcut to the same script. Nathannah • 📮 20:26, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
