I had redirected this to Revanth Reddy but that decision was reverted. This is an ongoing investigation as well as a BLP matter. WP:CRIME doesn't apply since the subject is already notable and this article is--ostensibly--about the investigation, but it seems to me this is excessive content on an ongoing investigation. Had I noticed that this is all hot off the press, so to speak, I would have gone to AfD rightaway. As it is, I think this article should be deleted, with possibly some content moved to the Reddy article--but judiciously. Drmies ( talk) 15:30, 9 June 2015 (UTC) reply

(Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL), I hope this search is more appropriate for the topic. In that case we can discuss the name of page. Intention of the article is about issue related to bribing in election which is a crime incident in which allegedly elected representatives were present and caught on audio and video tapes and arrested red handedly .Court trails were under progress. I believe this article is important and more info need to be added. -- Rasulnrasul ( talk) 16:10, 9 June 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Yes, allegedly. That's not the kind of thing we do. We're not the news, we're an encyclopedia. Drmies ( talk) 20:23, 9 June 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Wikipedia does not record incidents where a politician faces "scam" accusations—per WP:NOTNEWS an article does not reflect current media activity regarding incidents with no evidence of long-term significance, and there is not even a claim that this incident satisfies notability requirements. The affair is important for the career of the individuals concerned, and due material should be added to their articles. Johnuniq ( talk) 01:47, 10 June 2015 (UTC) reply
  • No Deletion. Please check in news Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL to understand the notability. Its not just incident, crime incident and case was in court. Its not accusation, he was caught red handedly. It was on the lines of Indian coal allocation scam. see current news to understand effect. In Inian context chief minister (one of accused)is equivalent to senator. More info may need to be added in page for showing notability and vitality of issue. -- Rasulnrasul ( talk) 06:21, 10 June 2015 (UTC) reply

  • No Deletion. This article is not just about the Reventh Reddy's involvement in Note for Vote scam, but about the complete scenario of Note for Vote Scam in Telugu states of India. As per the news sources & legal case proceedings, there are many people involved in this scam. So this is an important article -- raj808 203.13.128.104 ( talk) 05:39, 11 June 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - Johnuniq sums it up nicely, a stand-alone article is not warranted at this time, mention of the arrest is already made at the involved politicians' articles. Kraxler ( talk) 14:53, 17 June 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - not every political scandal is automatically notable. To allow this forked article to stand alone would make a horrible precedent. Bearian ( talk) 20:19, 17 June 2015 (UTC) reply
