Talk:Rick Santorum 2016 presidential campaign

WP:CRYSTAL
Another clear WP:CRYSTAL violation here – can you please just wait until these have been announced? Number  5  7  20:01, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
 * We talk about this every single time. The only time we agreed to a re-redirecting was on the Jeb Bush article. It's not even close to WP:CRYSTAL--in fact, WP:CRYSTAL says, "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place... . As an exception, even highly speculative articles about events that may or may not occur far in the future might be appropriate, where coverage in reliable sources is sufficient." This isn't remotely speculative, it's been widely covered and is certainly important. Even if it was highly speculative (which it is not), we absolutely 115% have the necessary media coverage from reliable sources to have the article.
 * Bottom line--we know he is running. We know he is announcing tomorrow. We are 99.9% sure his campaign will be notable and will affect the 2016 election. We are not speculating about anything. Jeb Bush's candidacy? I see why that's WP:CRYSTAL. Rick Santorum's? Absolute not. I respectfully disagree with you. I do appreciate the discussion but I ask that we not have to have it every time.

 * Again: Why can't you just wait? Number   5  7  19:30, 28 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Because it's an important and newsworthy event even before it starts. Look at all the O'Malley news today. He's near the top of Google News, for example, and most people don't even think he has a chance! Your concern is with WP:CRYSTAL. I think I have effectively answered to that. If you have any other concrete reasons to not put out the articles, I am happy to discuss them. But we can't turn this into a "NO, YOU!" "NO, YOU!" "NOOO, YOU!" argument. It's a discussion. And I'm happy to have it. PrairieKid (talk) 14:59, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
