Political beliefs of Elvis Presley

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable. Any sourced views of Elvis can be discussed on his page. Weird start "Not much has been written about Elvis's political views" Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:51, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into Elvis Presley seems like the common-sense solution. 83.203.129.196 (talk) 16:44, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep Elvis' political views (somewhat surprisingly) actually do seem to be a focal point of some detailed study. The first sentence of the article definitely needs changing, and sourcing might need a little improvement, but there's enough value here that I'm not convinced merger is appropriate.

 * Delete as (in CFD speak) this is an arbitrary intersection of topics, although I could accept a smerge into Elvis Presley. The article seems almost to exist as a place to show the Nixon photo. It is an interesting story, but even the biographers have a hard time nailing anything down as "political views" -- it's more like some random preferences for candidates. The article almost feels like WP:SYN in that some of these things have come up in biographies but haven't been distilled into an overall examination of his politics. --Dhartung | Talk 19:18, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm not sure the intersection is arbitrary, but otherwise I can't disagree with any of that. Merge might be difficult given the already significant length of the main article (WP:SIZE) but that's of course just a style point - a needless concern? Townlake (talk) 22:36, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge - most of this is speculation. Elvis was not political enough for this article to exsist --T-rex 01:08, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
