2017 Washington D.C. Free Speech Rally

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Classic recentism and does not meet notability criteria for events. Another reason for deletion: According to the cited sources, this is actually two very separate rallies that have been improperly rolled up into one article. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 03:41, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete and consider SNOWing. The article does its own self in. If something actually notable ends up happening at or because of the rally, it can always be recreated, but we're not fortune tellers. Timothy Joseph Wood  20:33, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete 800 people at a rally is hardly a significant rally. If anything, it would be notable for being such a colossal failure compared to rallies from those on the other side of the political spectrum around the same time, but there's no indication from reliable sources describing it as such.
