Fails WP:NEO/WP:DICTDEF. Could perhaps have selected content merged to another article like Loitering. Dysklyver 10:16, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - Good sources. Per WP:GNG.--BabbaQ (talk) 10:37, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * WP:GNG is not the issue - its a dictionary definition and fails WP:NOT, specifically the WP:NEO/WP:DICTDEF sections. Dysklyver  14:27, 9 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep. Sourcing is out there, including Academic sources - e.g. -   . Could possibly be merged with Curfew or Loitering as country specific, or be given a generic term and Hong-Kong at the end (e.g. Night time loitering in Hong Kong) - but the content definitely should be kept.Icewhiz (talk) 11:40, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. Clearly not a dicdef article, and has its own Hong Kong-centric context and references to support an article standing alone from Curfew &c. Passes GNG and sourcing is impeccable. What more could we ask for?  A  Train talk 18:55, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. This patently does more than providing a simple definition, as shown by the sourcing in the article. That sourcing also confirms notability easily. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 22:45, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep the article does more than give a dictionary description. It describes a social phenomenon that has been termed with a specific phrase. It does so in a similar style to the article Hipster (contemporary subculture) or Chav. There seem plenty of sources on young night drifters around, so I am sure the sourcing tag can also be easily addressed. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 11:06, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
