articles about all of that. We even have articles about years in general. The year 2016 has an article. Under your logic, why does it exist? Years happen all the time. Yet we have articles for thousands of different years in history, some of which were very uneventful. Either keep this article, or merge it into a larger May Day article, but deleting it is a mistake.
588:: Since editors weren't given sufficient time to expand this article, much like many of the other articles recently with even the slightest anti-Trump sentiment, I now feel forced to add a list of cities with protests just to rescue this article from AfD. Hopefully I'll have time to convert this list to prose later. ---

Is the articles about riots concerning Trump? If so, most of the outside US riots do not belong--according to CNN, the ones outside the US were on unrelated causes. Or is the article about 2017 May Day events in general--if so, it does not belong under the series. Your argument about May Day being

I respect your opinion and want to understand your position better. Do you think the
Olympia, Portland riots are currently significant? Should we keep other recurring events where nothing out of the ordinary occurred? Like, say, an annual beauty contest? Seems like your answer to both has to be "no"

FWIW, I'm also about to upload to Commons 70+ photos from the May Day demonstrations in San Francisco.

The
Article describes a noteworthy event, which was the May Day protests of 2017. It most certainly was a widespread event, triggering protests worldwide and some riots. "There are May Day protests every year," but there are superbowls, world series and NBA playoffs every year. We have separate

I may be wrong, but at first glance I'd assume the two protests you mention each took place in one city? There were May Day protests this week all around the world. I'm not proposing we keep articles about May Day protests for each city; I'm proposing we keep one article about

To me, the fact that these happen every year is more reason to keep this article because it's a large event with a lot of international media attention and lasting effects. Not to mention the fact that this took place in multiple different cities and is a part of an ongoing

Previous May Day articles only seem to focus on the
Pacific Northwest. The only violent incidents reported nationally were from Olympia and Portland. I don't think run-of-the-mill peaceful demonstrations can be considered notable when they happen literally every weekend.

Another Believer. It seems like a reflex for each of these protest articles to go to AfD. The only way we are going to be able to deal with these repeated, individualized, massive number of protests is through sidebar articles like this.

This is an attempt to use
Knowledge for publicity and/or original research. Most of the sources are news articles about annual occurrences. If no individual protest was notable, gathering a list of twenty of them should not make it notable.

I'm not going to take a side here, but I do see a double standard. For example, articles relating to protests in India, the largest democracy in the world, are routinely deleted. I have created articles about protests in the UK. See
