Lion Guard

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:NOTNEWS. Also does not seem to meet WP:GNG, and about half of the sources provided are not WP:RELIABLE, two even being from the group's own website. I highly suggest a merge of this article to another article relating to the Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016 (possibly List of Donald Trump presidential campaign endorsements, 2016?).

 * KEEP: Half the sources are major newspapers, the other online journalism sites (which I admit, I do not know the specific rules about their inclusion here). As far as this group not being notable, in the first month of their existence, they were reported upon and noticed by several major outlets including, as mentioned previously, several mainstream newspapers.  Point of order note, as well, this group has the exact same name as a Disney series, so searching for sources on it using the defaults on Wikipedia might bring up the Disney show instead of the group.  Typing "Lion Guard Trump" typically gives better results (55,000+ hits)  and demonstrates the coverage on this.  In any event, a very notable group and one which will be remembered for some time after this election. -O.R.Comms 01:38, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, at this point it is notable enough per the independent coverage and it does get a fair amount of Google hits; in the alternative, if consensus becomes one of not to keep as a stand alone article, it could be merged into one of several 2016 election articles with cites.

 * Merge per nominators rational. Not independently notable. Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 03:47, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per O.R. above. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 05:49, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep: this is a group who will likely recieve greater coverage in the immediate future and are notable due to current geopolitical matters. ☭ cmn  ☭ ( ❝❞ /✍ ) 21:24, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
