Delete No need for duplicate article. Reywas92^Talk 08:23, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The artical has no proper use and all infomation can be easly moved — RealFakeKim T 09:00, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This article needs to have citations added, but I still think it has the potential to be pretty useful. It could be the master list that links to all the existing month-by-month lists of recent Hong Kong protests. If anything, maybe some of the month-by-month lists could be merged into this one. It's convenient to have a single chronology that covers the entire event. Hko2333 (talk) 04:46, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unnecessary duplication of another article that covers all this. Ajf773 (talk) 17:22, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Duplication of another article is not needed. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 02:09, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I find it extremely useful! It is not really a duplicate, there's no other place that has all the information so well organized. It would be a shame to lose this, and it doesn't take up much space.Dr. Universe (talk) 10:08, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - @Shellwood:, @Reywas92:, @RealFakeKim:, @Ajf773:, @Kind Tennis Fan:, @Dr. Universe:, I would be open to a merge or redirect, if others agree. --Jax 0677 (talk) 14:44, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is useful when reading through the wider 2019-20 Hong Kong protests articals so I think it should be murged — RealFakeKim T 16:56, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't have any objection to a merge or redirect if other editors find the information useful. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 00:14, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see how this article's content can sufficiently give anything useful that isn't already mentioned. My delete vote remains. Ajf773 (talk) 00:41, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks all for engaging in discussion here. I don't see why people are saying that there isn't anything "that isn't already mentioned". The article that people are claiming it is duplicating, is completely different. The "List of Hong Kong protests" article literally just lists protests in Hong Kong throughout its history, but the "List of 2019-2020 Hong Kong protests" is providing a chart that lists how many protests occurred in each month, and the specific days of each of those protests, and links to longer pages about those protests. How is the information duplicated? It's organized very well, and for visual people like me, this is actually the go-to place where I come to find out about recent protests. Plus the protests are ongoing and may last for years, at that time you might agree that having this chart is very useful, and you might want it back, but it will be too late since it will be too much effort for someone to compile 3 years of data in one sitting. I have absolutely no conflict of interest as I wasn't the one that made this article or contributed to it. I'm not from Hong Kong I just have an interest in reading about the protests.
