This article belongs as a section within the article on Alan Grayson. Trilemma (talk) 04:39, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge as suggested, and quickly. The title is polemical; it's not Grayson's announcement of the plan, but his partisan attack on it.   I've moved it even for the time being before the merge  to a more neutral title:  Mass media coverage of Alan Grayson's comments on the Republican's health care plan  DGG ( talk ) 06:46, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge as recommended above, it is very rare for media coverage to be independently notable of the topic being covered. Ben Kidwell (talk) 07:24, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as a content fork, violating WP:NOT, recentism, not being a notable topic in it's own right (in other words, there are no sources that comment on the coverage, and for having a long-ass title. Abductive  (reasoning) 07:46, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete The content here is not relevant to the Alan Grayson article, is not notable, and does not improve the article. I created the article, see my comment on talkScientus (talk) 13:03, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete & Merge This doesn't deserve its own article. Does Joe Wilson's outburst of comments have its own article? Didn't think so. A8UDI talk  15:25, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge This can be cut down and included in the article on Rep. Grayson. Warrah (talk) 13:29, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. --JohnnyB256 (talk) 14:28, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. As DGG indicates, Grayson did not "announce" the Republican health care plan, but rather he attacked it. Furthermore, I don't see why "mass media coverage" of his statement would be notable. Yes, Grayson made a statement, and it was reported in mass media, but it's rare for media coverage of an event to become notable in itself. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:01, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. You've got to be kidding me. We don't need an article for every little Republican-contrived "scandal." —Sesel (talk) 20:42, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment There is no need for an AfD here. Just merge the content as appropriate and redirect. --agr (talk) 04:17, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete More appropriate to WikiNews. Orderinchaos 07:33, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per DGG, Sesel, Orderinchaos, Metropolitan90, et al. This is not Wikinews. Merge as an alternate. Bearian (talk) 21:48, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Some of the commentary here is not really notable period. And, fundamentally, it is Grayson and Grayson's beliefs that are notable. The Squicks (talk) 19:44, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with several of the reasons posted above. Reliefappearance (talk) 23:58, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. I't meets the guidelines of WP:Notability. —bambinn (talk) 22:08, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
