2020 Norway riots

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This completely fails WP:NOTNEWS.
 * it was not a riot. It was a demonstration with violent elements.
 * the confrontational part did not last for days, or hours, but minutes.
 * no property damage but a couple of dents in cars. Nothing burned, not even a broken window etc.
 * the "injured" person was very lightly injured at best.
 * claims about "non-centralised leadership" constitute pretentious wording.
 * the event has not led to other, noteworthy events and has had negligible consequences/repercussions.
 * sources that exaggerate the above points may well exist, but are not WP:RS. The indicent warrants a sentence in the article about Stop Islamisation of Norway, nothing more. Yes, it was reported - as a news story, which Wikipedia is not an outlet of. Geschichte (talk) 10:38, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete: The protest were held only for couple of hours for one day, and there is just one injury. This protest didn't gain significant international attention. So I think the article should be deleted, despite I'm trying to contribute to this article. I know this article might be targeted by anti-Islam IP vandals. I think it should have corresponding article on the Norwegian Wikipedia instead. --Stylez995 (talk) 22:57, 2 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment I agree that the riots didn't get much wide media attention when compared to the 2020 Sweden riots. I also doubt whether Norwegian authorities wilfully hidden the information from the media. Most of the sources linked Norway riots with the Swedish riots rather than elobarating the development behind the anti-Islam riots in Norway. Abishe (talk) 17:40, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Maybe because the Swedish event actually was a riot, lasting for hours, with fires being started, property being damaged, and even a foreign speaker denied/expelled from the country. On another note, Norwegian authorities could not have hidden anything from the media, because the media were present in abundance. Geschichte (talk) 09:53, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
