We aren't a news ticker, riots happen every day, and this article suggests things happening at the event, rather than just because of it. The item is mentioned (briefly) on 2022 FIFA World Cup, so no merge is neccesary. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 11:16, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. One person injured and 11 people arrested is not going to generate enough coverage to pass WP:GNG. Oppose a redirect since the name is misleading, it implies they were riots at the World Cup itself. If kept, should be moved to a more sensible name like 2022 Belgium and Netherlands riots.

Delete, another !vote for WP:NOTNEWS. Many, many football matches (both local and international) are followed by an amount of public disorder and unless this is ongoing / causes significant damage then no need for separate article on WP. Spike 'em (talk) 11:39, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That's a slippery slope argument which is a logical fallacy. See also WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. CPORfan (talk) 04:32, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What the heck are you on about? Did you just feel the need to argue with someone for the fun of it? Spike 'em (talk) 06:08, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree! Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 07:25, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Agree with above, and ye, the title is really miss-leading. Govvy (talk) 11:46, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - passing mention on the main tournament article is more than sufficient -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:54, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above and per WP:NOTNEWS. Frank Anchor 17:48, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete 'Dumb people burn things after football team loses in big tourney' is pretty much WP:MILL and expected. Nate • (chatter) 18:02, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I agree with all of your opinions, as I'm the official uploader of this.PopularGames (talk) 20:32, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment 😒 Then why create the article in the first place if you thought it would be deleted?! I'd love to place the db-author up so we don't have to burn seven days on this, but hopefully someone with a second opinion thinks the same thing. Nate • (chatter) 20:54, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment DB-G7 does not apply, as there have been multiple authors who have made substantial contributions. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 22:40, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP:NOTNEWS. It's too bad this can't be early-closed as no CSD criteria apply. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 22:40, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This stuff happens all of the time and it's not worth making a full article about, as there's also probably not much information. If we had articles for each of these there'd be a new article every day about England and Mexico fans going wild Tumford14 (talk) 8:04, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Probably leaning towards delete. I've done a little to try and improve the page (the previous title was problematic) but I don't think there is much more to add, notability-wise. Buttons0603 (talk) 23:37, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - not a riot at the World Cup, not notable. Giant Snowman 19:40, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Poor sourcing, arbitrary selection as far as I know. A random and very, very odd thing. But delete it anyway. CPORfan (talk) 04:28, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The article violates WP:NOTNEWS. According to the article itself, at least one person got injured and 11 people got arrested. This is called a protest, and it happens quite often when a team loses a football match. I don't see any evidence that this protest will have a long-lasting impact. – Epicgenius (talk) 18:20, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Too early to think the event will have any significant impact or aftermath. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 18:26, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
