2016 East Carolina University protests

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No notability of the topic of this article. It's just a loose collection of current events that are mostly only relevant to one school's own community or student-body. The main theme seems to be that this is all notable because it's related to a notable movement (BLM), which fails two ways: it is not supported by WP:RS to be related other than by timing (WP:SYNTH at best), and notability is not inheritable regardless. This article is instead one of several recent attempts by now two SPAs try to shoehorn various components of this set of protests into many articles, every time failing to ride the coatstrings of notability that does not independently exist (see also Articles for deletion/Black Lives Matter protests at colleges and universities). WP is not a school newspaper. DMacks (talk) 06:20, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Wikipedia is not news, I doubt this run of the mill protest will ever meet GNG Seasider91 (talk) 14:06, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep as even the Governor of North Carolina, Pat McCrory commented on the protests. --NotablePeopleFan (talk) 23:54, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
 * No, the Governor commented on a protest. That can't be WP:SYNTHesized into the topic of the article at hand. DMacks (talk) 10:43, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
