Bernie or Hillary?

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Lacking of any proper significance or formal impact on the subject of the 2016 U.S. Presidential election. Otherwise, many other memes to come from the election of equal or greater impact or notoriety ought to have their own articles as well. Wikipedia isn't Know Your Meme.

 * Merge to Social media in the United States presidential election, 2016. Bernie Sanders' Dank Meme Stash and Texts from Hillary could also be merged there. Power~enwiki (talk) 06:15, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - it's had enough attention from reporters (admittedly B-list) that I think Bernie or Hillary? is now "a thing". If you insist on redirecting, though, how about Democratic Party presidential primaries, 2016 as a target? - Richard Cavell (talk) 10:40, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Social media in the United States presidential election, 2016. There is enough her to merge WP:PRESERVE; just not enough notability - especially not WP:LASTING - for a freestanding article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:22, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge to Social media in the United States presidential election, 2016. No lasting significance; one of many flash in the pan internet memes during the 2016 presidential campaign. Plantdrew (talk) 01:48, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Social media in the United States presidential election, 2016. A redirect would be preferable to a merge here; agree with the nom that the meme thing got to go. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:34, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge to Social media in the United States presidential election, 2016. The meme recieved coverage in reliable sources from mid-January to mid-March, which was the height of the Democratic primary. However, I have failed to find a single source citing the meme published after the conclusion of the Democratic primary. As such, I believe that the meme was notable within the context of social media during the campaign, but that it does not have enough sustained coverage to justify a standalone article.

 * Merge to Social media in the United States presidential election, 2016 § Bernie Sanders campaign, which presently has only one short sentence about this topic. This will improve the merge target article per WP:ATD-M, making it more comprehensive and informative. North America1000 09:06, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
