Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2012

 * – ( View AfD View log )

totally pointless content fork of Donald Trump Wuh  Wuz  Dat  18:59, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete let's see if he decides to run before we consider an article. C T J F 8 3  19:16, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 *  Delete -- yup, this is unnecessary absent an actual declaration. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 19:17, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Premature, and there are big distinctions in what a candidate may do after declaring (s)he's running vs. before. Content can be adequately covered in the Donald Trump article, and this title should not remain as a redirect. —C.Fred (talk) 19:20, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - no need for a seperate article that consists of nothing other than conjecture. --Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 19:32, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete But not for the reason nominated. The article is not "pointless", rather it is too "pointy." The topic is Mr. Trump and the info is already a section in his article. The campaign does not exist yet, if it ever will, so shouldn't be the subject of an article. Steve Dufour (talk) 19:39, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment and clarification: While the content is decidedly "pointy", its existence as a separate article is quite "pointless" at this point in time. Wuh  Wuz  Dat  19:48, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
 * okay :-) Steve Dufour (talk) 06:49, 6 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete for now - he has not even made his decision to run for certain yet, so this is at best WP:CRYSTAL right now. Some Wiki Editor (talk) 22:20, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete The key points IMHO are that the Donald Trump article already has a section on this topic, and there has been no announcement of candidacy.--Hokeman (talk) 19:27, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL. Basically an article for what is presently a non-existent subject. Should not be re-created (or redirected) unless Trump actually declares candidacy, or least starts an exploratory committee.--JayJasper (talk) 21:05, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
