• 16px I don't understand why this is a separate article from Occupy Wall Street.--Ishtar456 (talk) 02:10, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

• A merger discussion is going on. Let wait until a consensus is reached. --SupernovaExplosion ^Talk 08:03, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

• The merger discussion is over and the consensus is against merger. --SupernovaExplosion ^Talk 19:18, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

• ... that the Occupy Wall Street movement has been described as having roots in the principles of anarchism? --SupernovaExplosion ^Talk 19:18, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

• Since I am on a mission to try to curb the backlog here you would think that I would just say "long enough, new enough (considering it has been here over a month)..." but I just cannot bring myself to do it. I doubt this article will ever grow beyond the 1740 characters that it is right now. I do not see it as a stand alone topic and I feel like it is missing from the main article. It is just my opinion, as I have seen other articles that I think are fragments (such as the history sections of colleges) pass through here. But it is a strong opinion and I cannot overcome it to pass this.--Ishtar456 (talk) 23:42, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

• I'm sorry, I just have to add that I think it is like having an article about the sky and a whole separate article to explain that it is blue.--Ishtar456 (talk) 23:49, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

• I disagree. It is a valid topic and there is a lot of scope to expand this article. Please refer to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Philosophy/Anarchism/Workstation#Potential_articles and Talk:Occupy_movement#Merger_of_Anarchism_and_the_Occupy_movement. --SupernovaExplosion ^Talk 01:09, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

• sorry, like I said it is my opinion and that is what is keeping me from reviewing it. Someone else can pass it if they want to.--Ishtar456 (talk) 01:30, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

• 16px Needs another reviewer Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:31, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

• 16px The hook reference checks out fine, as do the relevant dates and the length of the article. However, there are currently a number of statements listed as being "dubious", something that needs resolving before the article can be approved. Harrias ^talk 21:04, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

• Fixed. --SupernovaExplosion ^Talk 17:52, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

• 16px I have to concur with Ishtar456. While I believe a stand-alone article concerning anarchism and Occupy could exist, this article is lacking depth and comprehensiveness at the expense of balance and neutrality. I've raised a number of issues on the talk page and don't think this is ready for DYK. Gobōnobo ^{+ c} 18:34, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

• I agree with the analysis of User:Gobonobo, and after a short chat on their talk page, I have opted to effectively put the nomination on hold for a while longer. At the moment, I think it is too unbalanced to appear on the main page, and given that there have been concerns for over a month, I think it is unlikely that much will change over the next few days. I will revisit this (if noone else has done so) in a few days and see what has been done, but certainly at the moment more needs to be done to meet the concerns raised. Please feel free to contact me through my talk page with any conerns or questions. Harrias ^talk 19:37, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

• Hmm, then I've to withdraw this nom because it is not possible for me to expand the article right now. Time concern. Sorry. --SupernovaExplosion ^Talk 01:21, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
