2010 Suzhou workers riot

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

WP:NOTNEWS. There are too many of these incidents in China these days - probably about a hundred every month. There is nothing particularly special about this one. Colipon+ (Talk) 16:35, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Question what makes it any different from anything else in Template:21st_century_unrest_in_the_People's_Republic_of_China?  S ven M anguard   Wha?  00:54, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Good question. I do think that a few more of those articles deserve to be listed for AfD, but have only have so much time on my hands. Absent the free time I have to use some judgment as to which ones I believe as the least encyclopedic - so I came across this one. That template "21st century unrest" is also a very good example of recentism - it basically looks as though it is reporting the news from 2007 on, with very little content between 2001 - 2007. I realize it is mostly the good-faith work of one user, but he does need to realize that some basic adherence to Wikipedia policy is due when he goes and creates the next article that feeds off of the news cycle. He would be well advised to create an account at Wikinews. Colipon+ (Talk) 03:57, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep this one is particularly important because of the connections with other Apple products plants in china, but I think it is important enough as a separate incident to be kept separate.  DGG ( talk ) 02:47, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - important enough. separate article is a good way of solving the problem.--BabbaQ (talk) 22:40, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
