Mostly empty page that hasn't been updated since 2013. Contents are already covered in Occupy movement in the United States and related articles. — JFG talk 15:02, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
- Snow keep Please read WP:NOTCLEANUP. No fewer than seven significant sources are right there in front of you even without doing any research of your own per WP:BEFORE. Many more sources exist, such as several books published since the initial news coverage that analyzed the subject in a historical context. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 03:51, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
- I'm not disputing the sources, however the article is mostly empty and has remained untouched for over 4 years despite the requests for expansion. Should I just boldly merge it somewhere with more meat? —

- Maybe. Or you could gather more facts from the many sources that are available, and expand it. Or add a maintenance tag. Or do nothing and leave it as it is until someone else gets to it. It doesn't matter how long it has existed. Maybe four years is a long time to you, but it could just as well be 4 seconds or 40 years. Wikipedia gets done when a volunteer gets it done. You might feel impatient but there are still no deadlines.
The article talk page or a related WikiProject would be the place to discuss these questions. You should not nominate any more articles for deletion because they have surmountable problems. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 07:32, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
