‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Subject is unencyclopedic Meatsgains (talk) 00:52, 20 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep Article has shown topic's Wp:Notability, and it does not seem unencyclopedic. GliderMaven (talk) 01:25, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep, as the page's creator. Article satisifies WP:N. Multiple reliable sources, including the New York Times and the Washington Post, have written specifically about the "No Way To Prevent This" posts and the impact those specific posts (not just The Onion generally) have had. These sources have already been cited in the article. Purifiedwater (talk) 01:34, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep WP:UNENCYCLOPEDIC is one of the WP:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions, and I don't see how this falls under WP:NOT. The sources already in the article show that it meets WP:GNG, and more could be added. RebeccaGreen (talk) 02:32, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep has received non trivial coverage.  OxonAlex    - talk  03:17, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Onion  - this article has such a long title that it is unlikely any one would type in this term in the Search Wikipedia box. Vorbee (talk) 06:29, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
 * If the name is too long, there would be no benefit from redirecting it, and unless you have notablity concerns, it would be deleted under criteria 10 of WP:R.
 * Surely Merge or delete makes more sense.  OxonAlex    - talk  08:38, 20 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep - The WaPo, NYT etc. articles are clearly WP:SIGCOV for the topic of this article since they address it directly and in detail. The topic is notable as a cultural phenomenon. The title is clearly the WP:COMMONNAME for this series of articles since it is the way that reliable sources refer to it. Allegations of it being too long don't seem well founded, whilst WP:WAX is not a great argument, it is still instructive to compare and contrast with Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. FOARP (talk) 10:02, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - The nominator has essentially not advanced any meaningful argument for deletion, and numerous arguments against deletion have been given above. The title being so long that no one would type it in the search box is possibly the weakest argument for a redirect I've head in a while. The subject has received substantial independent coverage sufficient to meet WP:GNG, and that's good enough for me. Hugsyrup 11:08, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
