This article seems to be WP:SOAP and is also verging on WP:COPYPASTE from http://www.facebook.com/occupydataran?sk=info and http://twitter.com/occupydataran. Any thoughts?  Planetary Chaos  Talk 12:11, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - Sources showing from The Sun, The Star, and the Wall Street Journal. This is additionally a well constructed piece, which should count for something. Carrite (talk) 18:15, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete At this point, a footnote in the "Occupy" "movement" at best. WP is not Facebook or Twitter and this is just a collection of trivial things (hand gestures, seriously...) --Crusio (talk) 14:04, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Informative with credible sources cited. There are many different "occupies" out there that do not share same objectives hence need to treated as separate movements. Should be kept and given time to grow. Bellytuning 02:38, 21 October 2011 (UTC) — Bellytuning (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep - Agree with the above. It's a new page, should be given time to grow, and some of this information is hard to find. The hand gestures diagram seemed trivial, even to me at first, but when read in the context of where its happening it's quite unique. This is happening in Malaysia which is only seeing the dawn of a two-party representative democracy and so any form of direct democracy and all of its quirks including hand gestures and the rest - are quite unique and I think more than trivial. I vote to keep it and let it grow. - kriskhaira (talk) 16:21, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Satisfies GNG in terms of coverage, and I agree with the comments above that these events were/are particularly noteworthy in view of Malaysia's political environment.Rangoon11 (talk) 15:05, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - unless there has been a temporal anomoly, this pre-dated Occupy Wall Street and was thus the first such protest. Bearian (talk) 00:37, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Speedy Keep A quick glance reveils plenty of coverage, a thorough search of the references reveals WP:GNG is fully met. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 21:15, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Topic surpasses WP:GNG, per several reliable sources in the article. Northamerica1000 (talk) 08:37, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Ample news coverage of the event, even as far as China!  D r e a m Focus  15:15, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
