2010 Weiyuan riot

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Seems like just another day in China, which has in excess of 80,000 civil disturbances each year. The event seems like a minor disturbance, whose significance is either minimal or unclear Ohconfucius  ¡digame! 11:15, 2 May 2012 (UTC)


 * DELETE : no riot here . Shrikanthv (talk) 11:22, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
 * How does this above !vote confer with topic notability for Wikipedia articles? No valid rationale to remove the article has been presented here, per WP:DEL-REASON. Northamerica1000(talk) 04:18, 16 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete: User is a contributor to a number of current events articles. Granted, many of them are significant, interesting, and encyclopedic. A large number of them are not. This is a quintessential example of the latter. I would advise Benjwong to let news sink in before indiscriminately writing an article about any and every event, and that when an article about an event is written, to please elaborate on its significance rather than simply to describe a chronology. Another approach is to write drafts of articles and invite other contributors to pitch in before dishing them out into mainspace. This would save a lot of them from deletion, I'm sure.

 * Comment - Does this above !vote include an analysis of the sources in the article and available sources for the topic? The topic appears to pass WP:GNG. Northamerica1000(talk) 04:21, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

 Soon hundreds of people began gathering,[1] and eventually thousands of people arrived on the scene and went after the police. They flipped the police cars and followed the police back to the station.[3] The situation was later controlled.
 * Leaning Keep - It sounds like a riot. From the article:
 * The article appears to be sourced with Chinese-language sources.

 * Delete—per WP:NOTNEWSPAPER §2. Even properly sourced, this event has no "enduring notability".  Liv it ⇑ Eh?/What? 14:26, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is a poor discussion; "no riot here" is not a cogent argument, and neither does makes "sourced properly with chinese sources" much sense: The issue here is WP:NOTNEWS, and considering that there are apparently often events of this sort in China, and that this one does not appear to have had any lasting importance or coverage, it's just a summary of news reporting that's not what we are here for. Could be briefly summarized in an appropriate list.  Sandstein   08:55, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
