Occupy movement in North America

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This already exists at List_of_"Occupy"_protest_locations and List_of_North_American_"Occupy"_protests. Since everything involving occupy is contentious lately (see WP:RECENTISM), I am nominating this for AFD instead of CSD A10. v/r - TP 20:16, 7 November 2011 (UTC)


 *  Keep Neutral - Compared to Occupy movement in the United States, which is virtually identical to this article, this article is more comprehensive, because it includes Canada, and could include Mexico too. Northamerica1000 (talk) 20:23, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - After consideration, I rescind my keep vote, as the "United States" link in the Occupy Navigation bar links to Occupy movement in the United States. The intention here was to create a more concise, easier-to-read list compared to the large list article List of Occupy movement protest locations. However, with the link in the nav bar going to the U.S. page, that's good enough. Removing rescue tag too, as I'm the one whom placed it in the article.

 * Delete If Occupy movements in Canada and/or Mexico are notable (or become notable) then have articles on them. It does not seem to serve any special purpose to lump the 3 nations together. It is not as if the movement spread across the borders. (Will somebody suggest lumping Occupy and Tea Party into one "21st Century American protests" article? That's also possible.)

 * Might be worth an "Activism in 2011" type thing. They are pretty different but the roots might be similar enough.  Wonder if there are sources out there.--v/r - TP 20:45, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * What I was trying to get at is that articles should be about distinct topics. When you start combining topics there is no end. There are plenty of sources (news commentary etc.) that discuss both Occupy and Tea Party, but that's not really the job of an encyclopedia.Steve Dufour (talk) 20:54, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I get it, my bad. I had to read it several times to understand.  You do make a solid point, once I got it.--v/r - TP 21:03, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - This article is almost an exact copy of Occupy movement in the United States (which itself is just a partial copy of List of "Occupy" protest locations), with the addition of Occupy Canada and Occupy Toronto. It's unnecessarily duplicative.  Either make a separate Occupy movement in Canada article, or merge the US article with the North American article.  &mdash;SW&mdash; communicate 23:26, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. It is a copy of Occupy movement in the United States and the geographic boundary is too arbitrary. Is the a WP:POINT trying to be made here? -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 07:46, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. & others. A near-duplicate of Occupy movement in the United States. Per User:Steve Dufour, create separate articles for the movements in Canada and Mexico if they are notable. Not necessary to combine topics.--JayJasper (talk) 19:16, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Jab843 (talk) 21:41, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete what's next Occupy movement in the Universe for more contrived comprehensiveness? Carlossuarez46 (talk) 22:30, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge into List of Occupy movement protest locations in the United States. The article I link is a spin-off directly transcluding onto the main List of Occupy movement protest locations article. It has 300 references, the same pictures, same links, same everything. No need for this article. — Moe   ε  15:21, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as above or convert to a category. Stuartyeates (talk) 07:13, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete already sufficiently covered in other articles as discussed above in detail. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 16:08, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
