Timeline of aftermath of 2011 England riots

 * – ( View AfD View log )

While Timeline of 2011 England riots is sensible, this timeline of the aftermath is open-ended and unnecessary. A timeline of reactions and repercussions does not help understanding of the events, rather it fragments what is better described in prose in the main article. The article reads merely as a poor summary of news headlines in the few days after the riots, breaching the advice of WP:NOTNEWS and WP:RECENTISM. I don't believe that there is anything here worth salvaging. Fences &amp;  Windows  02:11, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge to Timeline of 2011 England riots. Agree that a seperate article is silly, but don't agree that the timeline needs to abruptly stop on the Wednesday. I'd append some version of this article to the other article and then have a content discussion for how much detail Thursday onwards needs, and where to stop the timeline.

 * Merge per Chris Neville-Smith. The immediate aftermath is as much a part of the timeline as the riots themselves. What events need to be included is a content discussion, and I don't think that an arbitrary cut-off date will be sensible. Splitting over two articles is not at all productive.

 * Merge with the other timeline. Better to keep this grouped together than making arbitrary splits. Dzlife (talk) 16:02, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
