The result was delete. Article contains insufficient text for such claims as a genocide of minorities in Bangladesh on 2 February 1992 → note that that passage is the entire one-sentence article. Permission to recreate is granted but only with greater depth; i.e. not only sentence (plural), but entire paragraphs. El_C 18:12, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Delete:There is no evidence in formal academic literature that a massacre actually took place. There may be a few complaints of homicide, but the use of the word Massacre seems subject to POV. -- Arman Aziz 02:45, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment What if we rename it to something less extreme, like Mallya Incident or something??? Corpx 05:23, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

These incidents happened before the internet took off in Bangladesh Taprobanus 15:41, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Do any of them refer to this as "Mallya massacre" ? Corpx 16:35, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
  • And also, how on earth would a 1986 publication serve as a reference for a 1992 incident? --Ragib 17:10, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Keep - per corpx.
Comments: - The amnestry report (first item on the list) referenced by Taprobanus does not talk about any massacre in Mallay. It does discuss a 1992 incident in Logang where 12 people were killed (based on official record). Perhaps we should delete this article and encourage the interested editors to wirte a broader article on Human rights in Chittagong Hill Tracts where all these different incidents may be mentioned in the context of the dispute over the land rights. The activities of Shanti bahini, the terrorist group of the tribal people, should be appropriately covered, too.-Arman Aziz 01:29, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
