Talk:2021 March 4 Justice

Lack of Notability?

A search for March for Justice results in Armenian Genocide, Guatemala, Sri Lanka, and a handful of Australian stories. If even Australian news companies can barely be bothered to cover the event how is it noteworthy? Come to think of it is any rally or march considered noteworthy? Okay annual events apparently may be covered in Wikipedia, and possibly a mass event would be considered different, but marches comprising only a few hundred in cities scattered around Australia? I'm recommending deletion unless there's a mass of coverage in the next few days.人族 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 08:36, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Please remove the deletion discussion tag, as in any case there is a merge discussion ongoing. Re:Notabilty question. Searching for the Australian event is not difficult (e.g. using Google's date filters, and adding the word Australia) and results will show all major Australian press covering the story and several of these are cited in the article. International press outlets such as the BBC have also picked up the story. Additionally, the results will show the responses of the sitting Prime Minister. The event include locations at each Australian state and territory capitol and the reported numbers of those who were expcected in attendance are about 100,000. All of these points taken together demonstrate the notabilty of the event. I.am.a.qwerty (talk) 09:02, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

I oppose the PROD tag too. It is not a routine or uncontroversial deletion so a WP:PROD is not appropriate. You are welcome to take it to WP:AFD. Adpete (talk) 10:41, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Articles appear to be widening in focus. Discussion has extended to consider how men suffer - 70% of all homicide victims, but that amongst women, Indigenous, young, pregnant, disabled, those in financial hardship, and those seeking to separate are disproportionately at risk - those in multiple groups likely at vastly higher risk. Assuming this article stays independent, should this expansion in focus be lightly covered? 人族 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 02:18, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

The article is about the march, so anything like that needs to be specifically connected to the march. The march was specifically about treatment of women, so the issue of violence against does not belong, unless it is part of the discussion or criticism which arose directly from the march - which as far as I know, has not happened. If not directly connected to recent news, you could still add useful information at Crime in Australia. Adpete (talk) 01:13, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
