Deletion of Jasmine Revolution in China

Comment: OTNEWS, not . 15 arrests is nothing in China; about 35 people were once arrested at the same apartment block complex that I once lived in whilst in Beijing a few years ago because they were illegally creating, distributing and selling pornography.

Comment: The article has already been '''renamed''' to 2011 Chinese protests. There are 60k-80k protests per year in the PRC according to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Whether or not the protests so far documented in the article are linked to the Arab world and Wisconsin-Ohio protests or not, the recentism/non-notable/not-news arguments are irrelevant: ''60 to 80 thousand protests per year in the world's most populous country'' are a notable social phenomenon. Remember that this is |not the USA.wikipedia.org, it's the English-language wikipedia about world knowledge. The article itself clearly still needs work: 60-80k protests per year means that about 5000 or so "mass incidents" have already occurred during Jan-Feb 2011 in the PRC and have not yet been RS'd. This is a ''massive'' social protest movement. Bilingual en-zh people over at the zhongguohua wikipedia article :zh:中國茉莉花革命 could help us to improve the quality of this article. There are also other places to ask for translation help

Comment: This article is beginning to look like a borderline  and/or , especially following http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2011_Chinese_protests&action=historysubmit&diff=415995779&oldid=415981115 these edits. I for one find this of great concern. It's as if the article is saying "the following circumstances are bad. You should help us in our cause", indirectly at least. I think that the listing of "demands" is being indirectly used as a propaganda insert; the consequences of this could be undesirable, given Wikipedia's strong readership and ability of information penetration. Wikipedia shouldn't be used for promotion, and right now the article almost seems like that

Comment: as a subsection of Censorship in the People's Republic of China and 2010-2011 Middle East and North Africa protests. I am sympathetic to those involved, but the moral argument is not a valid one for AfD. When we only consider the policies (specifically, ), this article does not meet criteria. If the protests do get larger, we can always recreate it
