Notability

[edit]

Is there still a consensus that this is notable, specifically in relation to WP:1E? I'm reluctant to take it to AfD given the emphatic "keep" result two years ago, but nonetheless I think recent events, or the lack thereof, might call into question some of the logic behind "keep" !votes there. 1E says that articles like these are appropriate when the event is "highly significant" – while this event may have seemed so in 2012, in 2014 it's all but forgotten, and a long way from the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, which that guideline gives as an example of a highly significant event. The rest of the guideline suggests that articles like these (about people with major roles in relatively minor events) should be turned into redirects to the articles on those events, however in this case there's no such article. My tentative suggestion then would be to move much of the content of this article to one on the attempted assassination of Stephen Timms, or a similar title, and leave Roshonara Choudhry as a redirect to that article. I'm interested to know what people think of this proposal, especially with regard to the central question of whether the event satisfies 1E's criterion of being "highly significant". – Arms & Hearts (talk) 11:09, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Photograph

[edit]

Fpor some reason, when you hover over a link to this article, when it shows you the preview card, the picture it shows is the one of Timms, not Roshonara. This is quite confusing, since it's talking about a "she", but the image is of a man. It left me wondering whether there was some vandalism or a mistake, until I clicked on the link and saw the right photograph. I'm not sure what determines which image will be shown, but if this can be fixed, it should be. AnnaGoFast (talk) 18:55, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
