Delete per WP:NOTNEWS This article doesn't explain its significance beyond that of a news event. In addition, it is entirely unsourced. Ryan Vesey contribs 06:11, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and perhaps userfy. This seems to be a good-faith effort by a new user unfamiliar with our policies and guidelines. The article could be called a stub or a start, but it lacks any references, even improperly formatted ones. It also lacks a date or other details that would enable another editor to search for sources for a protest demonstration that drew just 100 people, according to the text. Though unfamiliar with Kenyan politics, I can only imagine that there have been many such events in Kenyan history, and this article is just too vague to stay, at least as its now written.

Transwikify to Wikinews. In the event that this is not possible Keep and expand first to see the potential of this article. Beta M (talk) 06:26, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment When I search Google News for "Kenya" and "protest", I get stories about a protest that happened today (or yesterday), one that happened about two weeks ago, one that happened about three weeks ago, several that happened in 2010, some that happened in 2008, and so on. How can anyone reading this article even know which specific protest it is describing? Cullen328 (talk) 06:35, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete Presumably this protest. However, I can't see anything about this one that is especially significant.--A bit iffy (talk) 16:49, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete as copyright violation of the first two paragraphs of this article. And even if this weren't a copyvio, it would still be unclear to me why this protest involving only about 100 people would be notable enough for coverage in this encyclopedia. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:03, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
