Attack on Kennedy Road[edit]

News article (WP:NOTNEWS WP:UNDUE) by a Abahlali baseMjondolo, a fringe political group, that seems to be/have been using Wikipedia for self-promotion/propaganda (WP:COI) and as a gazette, in which events and persons connected to this minor organisation seem to be given undue weight. Unfortunately violence in South Africa is not notable in itself, and rioting was common during the time period in question. By the standards of South African township riots, it seems to have been rather tame, and it fails WP:Notability. Like other Abahlali articles, the formatting of the article is excellent for an article about a South African topic, and it appears to be well-sourced, but that should not impact on the decision to remove it, or merge it Park3r (talk) 09:54, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Nom says it appears to be well sourced and I agree. Szzuk (talk) 13:02, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- Be serious. The sources already in the article are far, far more than sufficient to meet WP:GNG. Nom's theories on why, despite meeting GNG, this subject is not notable, are interesting, but they're not AfD-worthy reasoning. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 13:46, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
