 * Delete. Does not pass WP:GNG.   It got some run of the mill coverage the week it was released, then quickly forgotten.  No lasting notability of any kind. -- ShinmaWa(talk) 15:56, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Redirect to 2012 United States Presidential election YouTube parodies . While it is not so  common, everyday,and  ordinary an item to be run-ofthe-mill, it does make sense that we at least send readers to where they might learn of this and other such parodies.

 * Redirect per Michael.-- Atlantima  ~ ✿ ~ ( talk ) 21:25, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Michael. It does get a decent amount of hits. —Ignatzmicetalkcontribs 23:32, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - Sources showing from Time magazine, CBS DC, and UPI.com dealing substantially with the subject of this article — which is the textbook definition of a pass according to our General Notability Guideline. A redirect implies the loss of information; there might be some case for a Merge — but I believe that Keep is the correct call here under our guidelines and policies.

 * Comment: The simpler term "Obama Style" is a poor search parameter since it has been used by media for many years in reference to other aspects of that presidency... and as this parody video was released just last September, I thus tighten the search paramaters.

 * Partial merge and redirect per Michael to Gangnam Style in popular culture  . Is that a better redirect choice? We could trim whatever's useful here and leave out the Infobox. ☯  Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 10:45, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Hmmm... right now just one sentence at that suggested target. My own thought is that it would be fine to speak of the Obama parody video as part of the main topic topic discussed at both suggested redirect targets just as it spoken of in the article about impersonator Reggie Brown... but as the main focus of the parody music video is about Obama's style as president and not about the Gangnam music style, I feel a better redirect (& partial merge) would be to the article focusing on various presidential parodies.

 * Sounds reasonable! Changed my !vote to a different target. Cheers, ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 12:33, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
