This article is lacking sources and hasn't been worked on for a long time. For months i've been trying to start the discussion about it,but nobody is responding on the talkpage.The article should be fixed or deleted.--(GriffinSB) (talk) 04:42, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:07, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you.--(GriffinSB) (talk) 13:57, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * AfD is not cleanup, however I don't think this event is notable per WP:NOTNEWS. No one was killed in the event so it isn't that important, just a single riot in the midst of a grander war. So I would say Delete. Tavix (talk) 20:46, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

This article is so interesting that people don't even come to vote :)))--(GriffinSB) (talk) 12:14, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. WP:NOTNEWS doesn't apply here because this event has attracted coverage beyond immediate news coverage in history books |+riots)+%2B(Zadar+|+%C5%A0ibenik)+%2B1991&dq=%2B(riot+|+riots)+%2B(Zadar+|+%C5%A0ibenik)+%2B1991&num=100&client=firefox-a&pgis=1 such |+riots)+%2B(Zadar+|+%C5%A0ibenik)+%2B1991&num=100&sig=ACfU3U1VE_rIlOCV86JEArT2EFO9VA2nVQ as |+riots)+%2B(Zadar+|+%C5%A0ibenik)+%2B1991&dq=%2B(riot+|+riots)+%2B(Zadar+|+%C5%A0ibenik)+%2B1991&num=100&client=firefox-a&pgis=1 these as well as the one already referenced in the article. It seems that that even though the riots didn't cause much death and destruction in themselves they were fairly significant in the build up of tension that led to all out war.

Comment: This "news" wasn't given any importance untill Slobodan Milosevic and his henchmen used it in their politicised speeches during the Hague ICTY trials.There weren't any deaths,but personal property was destroyed. It didn't lead to tensions çause the tension was already caused by the killings of Croatian policemen by terrorist rebel Serbs.--(GriffinSB) (talk) 20:28, 7 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Certainly passes NOTNEWS criteria; as for sourcing, by a look at google news it also has quite a number of news reports from 1991 that can use. No doubt it needs work.--Aldux (talk) 20:06, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Comment:Noone is working on it.Half of the "refferences"/external links don't work at all.--(GriffinSB) (talk) 20:28, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
