Speedy declined by Yunshui. Does not appear to be a notable protest action; while there is one source given in the article, Wikipedia is not a news site, and this movement doesn't seem to be one which has the lasting influence needed for an independent article.

• Keep or rename and expand. This looks as though it has had sufficient coverage to be notable (source, source, source, source, source, source) and would appear to be part of a larger protest movement which we don't seem to have an article about yet. Whilst the human chain may fall under WP:NOTNEWS, the protest movement as a whole would appear to have the longevity needed for an article. Yunshui ^雲_水 12:12, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per Yunshui. --Rubbish computer 16:27, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or merge. This particular incident seems to have been just a news event, and not independently notable, news blurbs or not, but the protest movement as a whole is likely to be notable. This article, though, is just a news story with a big photo gallery, and there isn't enough referencing for anything but a permastub. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 08:09, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename and expand to 2015 Nepal protests. The human chain itself is not notable, but the protests are. utcursch | talk 23:57, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• the event is real. the event has been covered in so many national dailies. references: [1][2][3][4] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.63.242.251 (talk) moved from talkpage by Yunshui ^雲_水 13:00, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge possibly into 2015 Nepal fuel crisis (I'm not intimately familiar with the subject matter, but they seem to be related) – that page could be renamed more generically to 2015 Nepal constitutional changes or something to that effect. Seems to me that the central topic here is the controversy with the constitution, and not the human chain itself, and they'd be better off merged. Aspirex (talk) 21:56, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
