Talk:Robert Chasowa

Comment

I will try and improve it but it covers events that are a build up from previous round ups. I am not sure what it being "one event" is that problematic especially when dealing with death. One can only die once. Also this is a not an everyday event. I have tried to clean up the article and add to it but I do object to its deletion. I was trying to find similar articles and I found the Hector Pieterson article based on a single event. I would imagine that that it is similar, as its a single event as well. I think the concern should not be the event but the impact and/or significance. The notoriety part should not be a be a concern since it is a huge event in Malawi and it is significant. Malawi is a small country so these types of events do not occur daily. Also culturally, this is a politically significant event, it is not a common occurrence in that country for these things to happen which is why thousands of people attended the funeral including politicians. It also deals with possible police cover up etc... so as event, its relevance is there in the context of Malawian culture (perhaps not so much in another culture).--MisterMDubs (talk) 04:52, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko only died once as well, from a head injury in 1972 the South African police claimed was self inflicted, while they were interrogating him. That event is in history books. Jan Masaryk's falling or being thrown out a window in 1948 when he opposed the Soviets as a Czech government official was widely reported and included in history books decades later. Not every head injury or defenestration is notable, but when newspapers and regime opponents suggest the police may have done it to a political opponent and tried to pass it off as an implausible suicide, it has all the makings of a notable event.
