Either a copycat of Colectiv nightclub fire#Protests, or already copied and pasted there. Regardless, the protests could not be independently notable as it was reaction to one nightclub fire in Romania. I proposed deletion, but someone interfered with "PROD" tag, so I had to completely remove it as it looked already awkward. Now that the protests ended, having a stand-alone copycat seems pointless.

But the political impact has widened; plus if we keep this article, we can reduce the scale of the protest section in the fire article, which is becoming unwieldy.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:45, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep - the fallout from this "one nightclub fire in Romania" has been immense and led to the resignation of Victor Ponta, the Prime Minister of Romania, and the mayor of Bucharest. The protests lasted a week and included global media coverage and protests of solidarity in other countries. The Colectiv nightclub fire article is detailed and lengthy and easily stands alone. —Мандичка^YO 😜 06:52, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Again, these things were already mentioned there. --George Ho (talk) 07:11, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Then that section of the article should be trimmed down. I agree it shouldn't be a duplicate, but the protests have the notability for a separate article. The fire, victims, international reaction and investigation info more than fill out the fire article. —Мандичка^YO 😜 07:47, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
