Talk:Timeline of the Donald Trump presidency

WAY too many articles
I can understand that there is certainly much to cover in the tumultuous 4 years of the Trump presidency, but sixteen articles?! That is way too much, especially for only one term, and is the most amount of "timeline of" articles devoted to one person's presidency, as most other presidents either have one article devoted to a year, or even only one timeline article covering their entire presidency. For instance, Timeline of the Barack Obama presidency is split up into nine articles (one per year), and Timeline of the Ronald Reagan presidency covers his entire 8 years. However, Trump's articles cover just three months each, and are oftentimes longer than other presidents' timeline pages covering their whole presidency. It seems that there are articles devoted to Trump that no other politician has, such as Residences of Donald Trump and Racial views of Donald Trump, and these "per quarter" articles are no exception. They should be trimmed down. -- Politicsfan4 (talk) 03:26, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Maybe now that it is nearing its end, the topic of Trump's presidency will stop showing such a WP:RECENTISM bias. &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 04:53, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Now that it's over, we should look at trimming down the quarter articles, and then merge into half-years or even years. I agree with MJL that time will help draw recentism-based attention away from Trump, but we should also not forget another reason why division into quarters was chosen. Trump's presidency was, for better or worse (in my opinion worse, but let's not get forum-y), quite a noteworthy period in recent decades of American history, and it was the subject of great controversy and attention. As it stands now, this timeline is undue for writing too much about what Trump did, but we should also be careful not to overcompensate and write too little about it. The choice of quarter division was reasonable for the time in which it was made, but now that Trump's presidency is in the past it has become less useful. - 188.182.13.127 (talk) 12:06, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I'd like to contrib on this as a project, making a year by year 4 article version of his Presidency. There needs to be a better standardized version of the timeline before the 2024 election, or this will just get worse. Arvasu (talk) 06:46, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Timeline of the Donald Trump presidency → Timeline of the presidency of Donald Trump – Please correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've found, there was never a discussion for the 2018 moves of countless timeline pages regarding the presidencies of US presidents. Based on this, I would like to discuss whether it might be more useful to move those pages so that they follow the format "Timeline of the presidency of ..." rather than having the presidency as a "attachment" to the president's name as it is now. –Tobias (talk) 16:07, 26 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

 * Request withdrawal, people just vote randomly without even understanding the request objective and comparing it to other questioned titles. It is probably more suitable for the WikiProject about United States presidents. –Tobias (talk) 09:47, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I dislike wordiness.  This requested move is inconsistent with the timelines of former Presidents (e.g. Timeline of the George H. W. Bush presidency, Timeline of the Bill Clinton presidency, Timeline of the George W. Bush presidency, Timeline of the Barack Obama presidency).

 * @Rootsmusic that's exactly what I mean. They were all moved without discussion to their current titles and just because they bear them now doesn't mean that this is the best idea. –Tobias (talk) 17:35, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Almost all other timelines such as Timeline of the George Washington presidency, Timeline of the John F. Kennedy presidency, etc. 48JCL TALK  22:44, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @48JCL please read my comment above, they are part of this discussion, not other articles to orientate on. –Tobias (talk) 22:50, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Still oppose. More words = worse. 48JCL TALK  22:51, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @48JCL There is a reason that the article Presidency of Donald Trump isn't just called "Trump presidency" and this is definitely not worse. –Tobias (talk) 22:55, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
