2011 Anshun incident
AfDs for this article:  : – ( View AfD View log )

per WP:NOT. This is but a news item more suited to Wikinews. There are in excess of 90,000 civil disturbances in China each year, and aside from the news reports already cited, there is little other information and commentary. Nine months on, it's not even remembered. Therefore little indication that there is any long-lasting impact of this incident. Ohconfucius ¡digame! 01:22, 8 March 2012 (UTC)


 * You are just feeding the trend. Instead of looking for more editors, you are yielding to the fact that no one wants to contribute to it. Remember this is severe enough to involve flipping police cars and fighting with police. Even HK macau haven't had a riot of this scale.  So how small can this really be? Not as small as you think.

 * HK or Macau are developed societies and there are established civic safety valves. There aren't usually any civil disturbances, which would make for a notable event whenever there are any. It's quite different when disturbances number in the thousands. -- Ohconfucius  ¡digame! 06:45, 8 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete: non-notable event that has generated minimal news coverage and has no long-term impact. Google news search returns no results except the Wikipedia article being discussed here.  --Zanhe (talk) 03:33, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
