| High profile case of murder linked to police corruption that had a [[WP:LASTING]] impact. Deleted after a thinly attended AFD, there are plenty of sources in the AFD to justify a re-creation of the article [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Murder_of_Carrim_Alli]]. Also, see the Deletion Review[[Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2023_June_28#Murder_of_Carrim_Alli_(closed)]]. Points that led to the deletion should be addressed.

| Partially covered at [[Ian Woodall]] and [[Deshun Deysel]] (which should probably be a redirect to the new article) and mentioned on [[1996 Mount Everest disaster]], this was a big news story at the time in the "New South Africa",[https://www.nytimes.com/1996/05/28/world/south-africans-everest-climb-ends-in-death-and-mystery.html][https://mg.co.za/article/1996-10-11-everest-team-slammed/][https://apnews.com/article/6b6bad4edad6ccde174d7620932170b4][https://www.enca.com/life/travel/everest-96-uncomfortable-feeling] and there should be a lot of sources since it was extensively covered by both the Sunday Times and then Radio 702.
