Five Riots in Tampa

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is an odd and unreferenced article that consists of very short descriptions of five minor / non-notable incidents of civil unrest in Tampa over the years.

I actually proposed merging the info into History of Tampa, Florida over two years ago... and then promptly forgot. I'm moving the info now, so the "Five Riots" article is ready for disposal. Zeng8r (talk) 17:40, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. If the useful information has been merged, then I don't see what purpose this small article now serves.  It certainly isn't long enough to make merging impractical.  Howicus (Did I mess up?) 21:48, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete no evidence any of these five riots meet WP:EVENT nor any "riots" (not really riots) has any claim of significance for it to be merged to the History of Tampa, Florida article. No sources/importance of significance = no merge. Secret account 03:43, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: You're right; the listed events are totally out of context and not notable by themselves. The concert incident is mentioned in at Tampa Stadium and the others might be included in an expanded "Civil Rights Movement in Tampa" section at History of Tampa. Not sure they'd all merit individual mention even there, honestly. So it wouldn't be a cut-and-paste merge in any case. --Zeng8r (talk) 11:46, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
