Article about the gruesome murder of a young girl that received a lot of coverage over a few days (in English) in late April and early May. Much of the coverage is statements from various organisations condemning the killing in response to the news. After the early days of May I can’t find any further coverage (in English) and based on this it appears the article fails WP:NOTNEWS. There may be additional sourcing in Hindi or Assamese that I can’t find or assess. Mccapra (talk) 07:58, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

• Keep It seems to me this sits within #3 of WP:EVENTCRIT. I would disagree that the media coverage is all similar. There are five separate components which contribute to notability here: (1) The murder of the child (please note following reference contains extremely sensitive content){{cite news |title=Assam: 12-year-old Karbi girl set ablaze by house owner; 2 suspects |url=https://www.time8.in/assam-12-year-old-karbi-girl-set-ablaze-by-house-owner-2-suspects-arrested/ |work=TIME8 News |date=23 April 2021}} (2) protests and popular reaction{{cite news |title=Minor girl reportedly burn alive in Nagaon district |url=https://easternmirrornagaland.com/minor-girl-reportedly-burn-alive-in-nagaon-district/ |work=easternmirrornagaland.com |date=24 April 2021}}{{cite news |title=Assam’s tribal groups, activists demand death penalty for killers of Sumila Ronghangpi |url=https://nenow.in/north-east-news/assam/assams-tribal-groups-activists-demand-death-penalty-for-killers-of-sumila-ronghangpi.html |work=Northeast Now |date=29 April 2021}}{{cite news |title=Assam: Motorcycle rally demanding justice for Sumila Ronghangpi draws out hundreds |url=https://thenortheasttoday.com/states/assam/assam-motorcycle-rally-demanding-justice-for-sumila/cid2827420.htm |work=thenortheasttoday.com |date=1 May 2021}}{{cite news |title=KPLT demands justice for Sumila Ronghangpi |url=https://www.pressreader.com/india/the-assam-tribune/20210501/281904481037399 |work=Assam Tribune |date=1 May 2021}}{{cite news |title=Students leaders visit family of Sumila Ronghangpi |url=https://www.northeastpublish.com/2021/04/students-leaders-visit-family-of-sumila.html |work=NorthEast Publish |date=28 April 2021}} (3) media commentary (calls for legislative reform){{cite web |title=চুমিলা ৰংহাংপীৰ হত্যাকাণ্ড : ৰাজ্যৰ শিশু শ্ৰমিকক উদ্ধাৰ কৰি শিক্ষা আৰু সংস্থাপন নিশ্চিত কৰক |url=https://assam.nenow.in/resure-all-child-labourers-from-homes-of-hegemonic-section/ |website=NORTHEAST NOW (Assamese) |date=29 April 2021}} (4) Government of Assam initiates inquiry (separate from criminal case){{cite news |title=Assam governor constitutes enquiry committee to investigate Sumila Ronghangpi's death - INSIDE NE |url=https://www.insidene.com/assam-governor-enquiry-sumila-ronghangpis-death/ |date=27 April 2021}} and (5) media coverage of the hearings, public actions at the hearings and submissions from women's rights organisations.{{cite web |title=Submission of Memorandum on killing of minor girl in Assam |url=https://northeastnetwork.org/submission-of-memorandum-on-killing-of-minor-girl-in-assam/ |website=North East Network}}{{cite news |title=চুমিলা ৰংহাংপীৰ হত্যাকাণ্ডৰ ৰাজহুৱা শুনানি ১১ আৰু ১৫ মে'ত ৰহা আৰু হামৰেণত গ্ৰহণ কৰা হ'ব... |url=https://www.asomiyapratidin.in/the-public-hearing-in-the-murder-of-sumilah-ranghangpi-will-be-held-on-may-11-and-15-in-raha-and-hamren/ |work=Asomiya Pratidin - অসমীয়া প্ৰতিদিন |date=10 May 2021 |language=as}}{{cite news |last1=Bhatta |first1=Pankaj |title=চুমিলা ৰংহাংপীৰ হত্যাকাণ্ডৰ ৰাজহুৱা শুনানি আজি ৰহাত ৰাজহুৱা শুনানি |url=https://assam.eastmojo.com/news/assam-news/sumila-ronghangpee-murder-case/ |work=EastMojo Assam |date=11 May 2021}} I would assume as the criminal court case proceeds there will be ongoing coverage. This level of coverage, extent of popular reaction and state government actions indicate to me this is much more than an "ordinary" crime.

• Keep: The article is of significance. This practise of child labours as domestic help is prevalent in the region, knowingly and unknowingly. It will help rise awareness. It also bring light to failure of various Govt. schemes on protection and education toward Female children.   Jor langneh (Talk) 06:06, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

• Delete, I agree with Mccapra, the event isn’t notable. Sahaib (talk) 09:56, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
• Keep. Heavy coverage. Passes WP:GNG. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:33, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
• Keep. Very wide coverage in English and Indian language media. I don't think WP:NOTTHENEWS applies - it talks about "routine coverage", with examples of "celebrity gossip". This is along way from that. Furius (talk)

• Keep - Coverage for this case is extensive. WP:GNG.BabbaQ (talk) 08:35, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
