1984-85 miners' strike | Result: no consensus[edit]

Unclear missionality. This sorta stuff would do better in a "History of UK/Britain/etc" article -- or really, not anywhere at all. FuzzyCatPotato of the Mexican Xylenes (talk/stalk) 23:00, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
It has info on union history, and isn't union coverage missional? --It's-a me, Lefty Green Mario! 23:05, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
Maybe -- but it'd go better in that article than on its own. Unions relate to anti-authoritarianism, but we're not-an-encyclopedia of all things union. Herr FüzzyCätPötätö (talk/stalk) 11:12, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
As a separate article, the way it looks now? Fugeddaboudit! However, I'm sure some of its overly-specific-yet-overall-incomplete narrative could be ported to somewhere? Like some article(s) on Thatcher/UK energy policy/global warming/unions/neoclassical economics/etc... But we're not keeping it as a standalone article, methinks.

Seems to me to be an even bigger deal in UK history than the breaking of the air traffic controllers' union in the USA, which was a turning point in US history. - Smerdis of Tlön, ^{LOAD "*", 8, 1.} 03:15, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

I'm not British so there might be something that makes it justified as its own article but as it stands we should add it to an article on striking or labor movements or even make a history of the British labor movement as a page but as it stands there are many other similar events across many countries and I don't think that they all deserve their own pages. ^{— Unsigned, by: Vorarchivist / talk / contribs}
