Planned presidential transition of Donald Trump

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Why do we need an article for something that may not happen at all? As soon as there are results of election and president elect is know, there is a reason for such article. Now, it does not look logical. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 12:35, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - as User:E.M.Gregory eloquently stated in Planned presidential transition of Donald Trump, "presidential transitions are a topic of significant and growing notability" while User:ALPolitico said "article subject is noteworthy, especially since the 2010 law regarding transition plans and teams" and User:The C of E pertinently noted that "this was something that the government felt was important enough to invest a good deal of time and money into so it appears to me to meet the GNG with the RSes that cover it."

 * User:LavaBaron, didn't we have an AFD on this article a couple of months ago?E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:08, 31 July 2016 (UTC)  I guess I was thinking of this: Articles for deletion/Planned presidential transition of Mitt Romney.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:19, 31 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep for all the reasons laid out here: Articles for deletion/Planned presidential transition of Mitt Romney. User:Arthistorian1977,  would you be willing to look at the Romney AFD? and consider re-considering? because sometimes we don't need to dance the same set twice.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:19, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I withdraw my nomination, yet personally think it does not worth an article at this stage. Probably, till after the election. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 14:10, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
 * And, after actually thinking twice, it will be probably worth to have a 'Planned presidential transition after 2016 election' article, since a lot of information in both Trump and Clinton article is duplicate. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 14:17, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep -- Presidential transitions are a matter of public importance and media scrutiny, and cost large amounts of taxpayers' money. I would be grateful if, on the same grounds, my article, Planned presidential transition of Hillary Clinton, which has been nominated for speedy deletion, were to be saved.
