(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable youth brawling, vandalism & arrests. 11 injuries with no deaths. No references, and none readily in the offing at the usual 'net engines. Раціональне анархіст (talk) 21:11, 24 December 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

(Preliminarily weak) Keep Sources from Google Books search. I do not have the source materials to actually contribute or check if it is just passing or a full historic account, but may be a good lead for some. 野狼院ひさし _{Hisashi Yarouin} 00:28, 26 December 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comment The relevant text in the first external link claims this incident happened in 1982, not 1981. See the Google translation. DiscantX (talk) 01:48, 27 December 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Later in the section it writes "After that, on New Year's Day 1982, there are smaller-scale riots in the community", which makes me believe that the first date was just a typo. That page does cite a 高添強 (1994). 圖片香港今昔. 三聯書店. p. 166-167. as source if anyone wants to check back to confirm. 野狼院ひさし _{Hisashi Yarouin} 06:37, 27 December 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Ah good catch. I missed that. You're probably right, it's most likely a typo. DiscantX (talk) 23:30, 27 December 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Keep. It is mentioned in East-West Identities: Globalization, Localization, and Hybridization, edited by Kwok B. Chan, Jan W. Walls, David Hayward. "... it appears the 1981 riots were triggered by crowd of people concentrated in down town area celebrating Christmas and the New Year. ...". Also, Understanding the Political Culture of Hong Kong: The Paradox of Activism and Depoliticization by Wai-Man Lam. "... Antigovernment sentiment lingered throughout the 1980s, as three riots of the 1980 attested. Two of three riots take place on the Christmas Day of 1981 and New Year's Day of 1982..." — HenryLi (Talk) 17:03, 27 December 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep - clearly notable. per Henrylis reasoning.--BabbaQ (talk) 23:39, 30 December 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
