Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Andrew Yang 2020 presidential campaign endorsements


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. The article has been significantly expanded since the nomination and initial delete votes; with no further arguments being made to delete in the last 5 days. If canvassing has affected this discussion, its primary result appears to have been a significant improvement in the article's content and sourcing. ~ mazca  talk 16:10, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

List of Andrew Yang 2020 presidential campaign endorsements

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article duplicates information already in Endorsements in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries. Yang has few endorsements compared with other candidates, so this split is unwarranted and will add to the difficulty of maintaining endorsements. - MrX 🖋 14:22, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Reply: Simplifying the maintenance process would be a reasonable if there were many pages to maintain. However, the number of active candidates is quite limited, and the number of top tier candidates is even more limited. This candidate is a finalist for what is, unfortunately, the most important democratic contest in the world; this means the content is both notable and globally relevant. If this article is delisted then all candidates endorsements pages should be redirects. Harmlesshumanist (talk) 03:22, 4 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Endorsements in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries, which actually has more endorsements for Yang listed than this article does. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:32, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. This article duplicates information from Endorsements in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries. This article is short and is not likely to be expanded at this point in the election. This article should be deleted instead of merged because Endorsements in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries lists more Yang endorsements than this article. --Tvc 15 (talk) 22:46, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete or Redirect for the reasons stated above. I do question whether these lists of endorsements are generally worthy of a Wikipedia article generally as Wikipedia is not a repository of campaign material, but as long as they are properly sourced, there is no inherent harm to the project and could have some lasting historical value. --Enos733 (talk) 03:47, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect Come on, this is nowhere in comparison to Biden, Sanders or Warren's endorsement pages. Very few endorsements for it to merit a page. Redirect this to Endorsements in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 17:07, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete This is an unjustified content fork, but we do not need to list this either, only cover ones that have gotten substantial notice in the main article on Yang.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:49, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete or Redirect for the reasons stated above. --NL19931993 (talk) 22:28, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Since the above comments were made, the page has been edited to include all of the candidate's endorsements (the majority of which were missing). The page now has more endorsements than on the Endorsements in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries article and I believe there are now enough endorsements to warrant there being a separate page for them. --TheEditor867 (talk) 17:18, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep The article has numerous endorsements and citations from reliable sources. Regarding what others have said about this article not likely to expand further, I remind people WP:NOTCRYSTALBALL. Quite frankly, the page is not some trivial article listing single digit endorsements. There are 39 endorsements and 31 citations at the time of my comment and I highly doubt this this the full list. If you want to delete this page, then the argument simply because that the other candidates' endorsement pages are longer doesn't fly. We don't go on article length here, we go on substance. If we want to delete this article then we should also delete the other candidates' endorsement articles as well. Transcendence (talk) 19:36, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Remember that deletion is a last resort. Valid deletion nominations rarely improve articles, and deletion should not be used as a way to improve an article, or a reaction to a bad article. It is appropriate for articles which cannot be improved. Clearly this article was able to be improved and has been. Unfortunately, this feels like a politically motivated nomination for deletion. The good news is that the article was improved and is now clearly surpassing the standards required by Wikipedia. --Brandorr (talk) 20:08, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - There is some canvassing going on. - MrX 🖋 20:48, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - There is no canvassing going on. The Reddit post is a call to the community to update an outdated page which is in line with Wikipedia. There is no spreading of political messages nor promotion of the Democratic Candidate. The endorsements listed on this Wiki page are supposed to be cited from reliable sources. As long as it meets those criteria, I do not consider it as canvassing. In case endorsements are inappropriately referenced, I think that particular endorsement should be deleted. -- Stoepkrijtske (talk) 21:00, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Article has been substantially expanded since 30 December 2019, and is well cited. 70.162.195.151 (talk) 21:45, 3 January 2020 (UTC) — 73.129.1.205 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep This article is well-cited and these lists have historical value. 73.129.1.205 (talk) 22:33, 3 January 2020 (UTC) — 73.129.1.205 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep - this is practically a WP:ODD article ready to wear. The nominations, and the bizarre list, is itself notable; the coverage is significant. FWIW, I'm not a fan and do not endorse Wang. Bearian (talk) 22:46, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Note there is severe canvassing going on as noted above. A post on "r/YangForPresidentHQ" with over 2.5k upvotes links here so closing admin be wary. EoRdE6(Come Talk to Me!) 02:30, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - This article has now been updated significantly with both content and reliable citations since its proposed deletion on 28-12-19 and should meet Wikipedia notability guidelines. This topic also has a large amount of coverage so it can be improved and updated in the future. Edi 7*  (Message Me! • &#128220; ) 01:38, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep/Comment - I would not categorize the recent edits as "canvassing" since the reddit post in question is well-intentioned and suggests its users to only contribute if they can make quality edits. It also urges its users to follow the rules and cite properly. I would also point out that WP:NOTCRYSTALBALL and that as a subject becomes more popular, there are much higher chances people write a wikipedia page about it. See Notability. Nothing stops other supporters from creating a page for their candidate of choice. If neutrality and objectivity is maintained, there is no reason to delete this page.
