March for Our Lives Albany

Not notable, no continued coverage of the event, only primary (Wikipedia is not news). It's been a week. w umbolo  ^^^  14:19, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Speedy Redirect to March for Our Lives where the various locations are detailed. Legacypac (talk) 17:49, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep This is a state protest. The protesters were fighting for a cause that only applies to New York State, trying to change New York's gun laws. This event has nothing to do with what the larger March For Our Lives is demanding from the federal government. I will be adding a paragraph to the article including this information. There is much more continued coverage, you just have not found it, or do not care to find it.

 * Speedy Redirect to March for Our Lives. In retrospect it would have been best to just perform the redirect (giving an explanation) then place the article up for AfD if the redirect was undone. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:24, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I did put up a WP:PROD and it was rejected. w umbolo   ^^^  16:44, 10 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Redirect - Arguably the only rally that warrants a seperate article is the one in DC. All the protests were held for a collective goal; this one is no exception.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 23:17, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Not correct. Protests on the state capitals like this are focused on changing state gun laws Great Great Grandson (talk) 19:15, 11 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment There are currently some continuous-coverage citations on the page already. Great Great Grandson (talk) 19:28, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the March for our Lives or March For Our Lives Locations pages, possibly give it a subsection there.--QueerFilmNerd (talk) 15:21, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: there's enough sources here for a stand-alone article; the list article would not be able to accommodate it. The goals are also state-specific, aimed at legislative effort in New York State. Compare with March for Our Lives Portland, currently nominated for Good article status. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:14, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge into parent article. No reason to have this as a stand alone.  I would suggest the March for Our Lives Portland should be handled the same way as this article based on consensus here.   Springee (talk) 19:37, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Heres are some reasons; It was a state capital protest not focused on the same issues as the larger March for Our Lives, it had an attendance of over 5,000, and it featured US congressmen and NYS assemblymen. Great Great Grandson (talk) 01:25, 15 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment. Since several people I know (including the three speakers named in the article) were involved in this particular event, I'm not !voting. If this were kept, it needs a lot of trimming down of the cruft. This was created by a banned user. It's poorly written; I'm not sure how the "actions taken as a result" really follow logically, or how we'd update "this weekend." I would not oppose a redirect per WP:CHEAP.

 * The edit history of the user account does look suspicious. Springee (talk) 22:14, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
 * "This weekend" has been updated" and I will try chronologically organizing the actions taken section Great Great Grandson (talk) 17:33, 15 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep Meets GNG. As well as its a state protest.  Bobherry  Talk   Edits  13:15, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to parent article per above users. Werehilly (talk) 19:36, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge to parent article. There's nothing special about this march vs any of the other marches in other cities on the same day.  People marched.  People gave speeches.  Some politicians showed up.  The local papers covered it.  Merge. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:30, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
