2016 United States election interference by Ukraine

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article only relies on one source: A Politico "Investigation"; this differs from the 2016 United States election interference by Russia as many agencies of the US government agree that Russia may have interfered with the 2016 Election. Also, on Google News, the incident isn't widely reported.  Yoshiman6464   ♫🥚 16:14, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. There is no need to cover a single news report. Joshualouie711talk 17:59, 18 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete... articles should not be created based upon one investigative claim by a single media source. I recall the article creator from Articles for deletion/American influence in the Honduran general election, 2009, we seem to have a pattern of anti-American sentiment here, a user that is creating fringey topics to promote a personal opinion.

 * Note - there are more sources out there, and similar Ukrainian connections have been reported as being behind PropOrNot, meaning additional material could be added. I've doubts that there is enough material to sustain an article though. Could there be an existing article to merge it into? Given the obvious connectivity, in ordinary circumstances Allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections would be the ideal merge-to. But that article is currently laid-low by out-of-control pov. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 16:33, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete as a wild theory not supported by multiple reliable sources. It seems to be of the "I know you are, but what am I" camp of rhetoric (pun not intended). I don't like blue people doesn't fly here. Bearian (talk) 13:08, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per NOTNEWS. Lepricavark (talk) 22:01, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge to 2016 United States election interference by Russia. Politico isn't Infowars. They're a legitimate news source. Merge any material that is relevant from this article into the Russia article. I can see a sentence or two being warranted somewhere. TonyBallioni (talk) 23:22, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
