I think we should merge this into Amy Klobuchar 2020 presidential campaign. This is basically a definition (of a buzzword), and Wikipedia is not a dictionary.— Naddruf (talk ~ contribs) 01:37, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree, but might go far to say that it should be straight out deleted. Buzzwords, unless they have some form of cultural impact shouldn't be here, especially a word that only entered the pundit lexicon a mere 5 days ago. C. Pineda (クリス) (talk) 01:53, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
 * This is why it is a good idea to look at the article before joining a discussion; a December 2019 Politico article dates the word to the October 2019 candidates debate.IceFishing (talk) 03:14, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
 * You noticed I said pundit lexicon, and not existence? Reading comprehension is key. But seriously, if this is allowed to be an article, ee might as well make an article for Feel The Bern, which as of right now is what it should be, a redirect to the actual campaign page. C. Pineda (クリス) (talk) 04:27, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Feel the Bern, lower case.IceFishing (talk) 11:10, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for proving my case, as clicking on that redirects to the 2016 Sanders Campaign, as it should, because most slogans are not notable by themselves. C. Pineda (クリス) (talk) 21:18, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Pundits used it pretty freely in 2019: New York Times On Politics Lisa Lerer, 18 December 2019, writing about the Democratic candidate debate that would happen on Dec. 18: "Ms. Klobuchar is the one to watch most closely here: She’s been gaining steam in Iowa over the past month. Is this her last chance to make Klobmentum happen?" .  There was lots of stuff like this well before the last "5 days."IceFishing (talk) 11:00, 13 February 2020 (UTC)


 * I also think it should just be a mention in Klobuchar's campaign article, with redirects from the terms. It really isn't an encyclopedic topic, just one of those irritating cutesy things that media do to try to appear cool and relevant. (Doesn't help that it makes me think of fetch.)

 * Take a look at Category:Bernie Sanders 2016 presidential campaign, or Category:Donald Trump 2016 presidential campaign and you can see that this sort of article is normal. Hillary Clinton's campaign was a little less, ah..... noisy that the Bernie Bros or Trumpers, but even there you find  Hookers for Hillary and Basket of deplorables.  And  we're exactly running short of paper.IceFishing (talk) 16:19, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

If you want to merge this article into the Klobuchar's campaign article, you need to formally propose a merge. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Don't forget to share a Thanks ♥ ) 16:43, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
 * If you look at similar pages, you see that many are kept, while those that are merged seem to have been merged after the campaign ended. It does not make a lot of sense to merge a page on a hot, current topic.IceFishing (talk) 16:54, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not for deletion, I was just explaining the process. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Don't forget to share a Thanks ♥ ) 17:52, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

All comments so far are to merge into Amy Klobuchar 2020 presidential campaign; I'll go ahead and do that. – SJ + 06:06, 19 February 2020 (UTC)


 * I second this motion. This topic, while significant to her campaign page, does not warrant a separate one of its own. TheGreatClockwyrm (talk) 17:33, 19 February 2020 (UTC)


 * I would wait until the Articles for Deletion discussion concludes. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:22, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I've merged what seemed appropriate but didn't make the redirect. – SJ + 15:28, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
