WP:NOTSTATSBOOK. Anything useful can be written in prose as if it were an encyclopedia article, such as the parent topic of Occupy movement, where useful information is already discussed in the Occupy movement#Chronology of events section. Viriditas (talk) 00:14, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Excellent navigational index. Carrite (talk) 01:31, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Is this intended to include List of Occupy movement protest locations in the United States and List of Occupy movement protest locations in California? —Tamfang (talk) 01:42, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, but my mouse battery ran out. I'll try and add them when I pick up a few double AA's. Viriditas (talk) 05:04, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP:NOTSTATSBOOK applies when the list of statistics is not useful or when the ratio of usefulness to incomprehensibility is sufficiently low. This list is useful and easy to comprehend. hajat vrc @ 08:15, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- notable movement and useful list to show its significance. BritishWatcher (talk) 09:51, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- useful resource, outweighs WP:NOTSTATSBOOK considerations, merge List of Occupy movement protest locations in the United States and List of Occupy movement protest locations in California into main list. Meclee (talk) 13:55, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Notwithstanding the fact that those merge suggestions are outside the scope of this AFD, this list is 99,690 bytes, and the U.S.-specific list alone is larger, at 124,077 bytes. So it doesn't make sense to slap them back together. It's not as obvious to me, however, that the California-specific list is too large to be merged back to the U.S.-list, so that may be a discussion worth having. postdlf (talk) 21:55, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, obviously. The sources in the article show that occupy locations have been discussed as a group in reliable sources. This is what it takes for a list to be notable per WP:LISTN: "A list topic is considered notable if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list." Many of these occupy locations are not in themselves notable enough for stand-alone articles, which means that, as part of a notable group, a list is an appropriate place for them: "Because the group or set is notable, the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable" (also from WP:LISTN).— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 17:10, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It was a very notable movement. The Mysterious El Willstro (talk) 05:54, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP:NOTSTATSBOOK doesn't applies here. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ ^Talk ^Email 13:50, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep passes WP:GNG and is a list that will actually be useful. also WP:SNOW--DBig Xray 10:45, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
