First 100 days of Joe Biden's presidency

 * – ( View AfD View log )

WP:TOOSOON. Let's write about this when sources do. Not even sure if the mythical "100 days" of any administration are worthy of special treatment, besides the usual "Presidency of X" article. — JFG talk 20:15, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. We can recreate this when reliable sources discuss it, which to be fair might be very soon. SportingFlyer  T · C  20:24, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete/draft I'm really not convinced we need a separate article for this beyond Presidency of Joe Biden and its pending policy subarticles. Just because we had this article for Obama doesn't mean we should prematurely have one for every president. Not to mention there are likely to be timeline articles like Timeline of the Donald Trump presidency that are broken down by quarter. Reywas92Talk 20:47, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete or draftify. It's highly likely that Biden will have a Presidency, but even that is uncertain given the fact that shit happens. Further, the concept of the "First 100 days" developed from certain past Presidencies in which a mass wave of legislative or other significant accomplishments took place in the first 100 days. First 100 days of Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency is the paradigm case. Here, even if Biden assumes the Presidency, we do not yet know whether his party will control the Senate. If the Republican Party remains in control of the Senate, the first 100 days may well result in no significant legislative accomplishments.  Accordingly, we cannot yet predict or presume that the "first 100 days" of a Biden presidency will be a topic worth of a stand-alone article. Cbl62 (talk) 23:21, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Presidency of Joe Biden. There is no need as of this moment for this standalone article. — Emperork (talk) 00:56, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. We can revisit this after 100 days into Biden's term, but it's highly unlikely that it will be worthy of an article. FDR and the Great Depression was a special case. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:00, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. there are already multiple sources in major newspapers discussing what he should or would do duringthe initial days. It's true the country may collapse before that, or any one of a number of other tragedies, but if reliable news sources write major articles discussing it as not mere speculation (what would I do if I were president...) but as a discussion among actual politicians about actual politics worth reporting. Personally, if there ar sources, and I think there may be, I;d support a similar article by Trump--certainly before the election there was discussion what Trump would do in his second term., tho I don't know if there were any specifically about the initial period of it.

 * Comment. This seems to be a recent trend, as Category:First 100 days of American presidencies has only Obama, Trump and Biden to go along with FDR. That category's also a bit suspect. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:39, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment. The problem is that you could have another article about the first six months, the first year. Where does it end? Clarityfiend (talk) 09:55, 15 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Presidency of Joe Biden. No need for this article right now. cookie monster  (2020)  755  19:37, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
 * 'Redirect to the Presidency of Joe Biden article. If any significant events or accomplishments occur during the first 100 days of Joe Biden's presidency which might warrant the need for a standalone article, we can re-visit the question at that time.--TommyBoy (talk) 02:23, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
