President Trump's Remarks on Charlottesville

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A spin-out article of Unite the Right rally, but this isn't a reasonable encyclopedic topic. This is purely a WP:NOT (largely WP:NOTNEWS) argument; obviously there are enough sources to meet WP:GNG. If Trump sneezes or shakes a hand funny, there will be news coverage; that coverage doesn't make it an encyclopedic topic. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 01:34, 21 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete Not everything needs an article. Everything we need to say about Trump's remarks concerning Unite the Right can be kept at that article. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:00, 21 February 2018 (UTC)


 * His statements have been considered one of the most notable events of his Presidency. The article needs a good cut anyway, as it has little focus. MichiganWoodShop (talk) 22:51, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:NOTEVERYSTUPIDTHINGTRUMPSAYSISNOTABLE. Mangoe (talk) 02:41, 21 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep- This is not an obscure statement. If this was a weekly item of Trump drama I would agree, but his comments are still being referred by commentators and pundits daily. If you want more proof, just look at Ben Shapiro's criticism of Donald Trump at CPAC today. MichiganWoodShop (talk) 22:59, 22 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete per NOTNEWS. Qualifies as WP:PLAGFORM. MT TrainDiscuss 03:12, 21 February 2018 (UTC)


 * It is a fork from the original article, so of course it is a copy. If this is kept, the original would be significantly trimmed and moved into this. MichiganWoodShop (talk) 22:56, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
 * That calls for an attribution, which has not yet been done. MT TrainDiscuss 09:46, 23 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete WP:NOTNEWS. Mangoe summed it up perfectly. sixty nine   • whaddya want? •  03:14, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - For common sense alone. Create a Every-Thing-Trump-Has-Said Wiki or something if you are truly incapable of summarizing the man's reaction in the main article itself. Such content forks are lazy and often created to focus on a certain POV.


 * But is it not independently notable on its own? The article is 1/3rd about Trump's reaction, not the rally itself. MichiganWoodShop (talk) 22:50, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete as per all above comments. It is certainly possible that future sources may analyse this in more details in which case I am not prejudiced against recreation but I currently don't see evidence for it. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 21:59, 22 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Would you be fine with moving Trump's reaction and the backlash to this page? It seems much more coherent to split the articles, then the status quo. Right no, half of the article is about Trump's reaction. I'd consider it a much needed fork. MichiganWoodShop (talk) 22:50, 22 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep - Around half of the Unite the Right rally is about Trump's reactions and the surrounding backlash. For most people, this is one of the most notable and polarizing aspects of his Presidency. Style-wise, the article is already bloated MichiganWoodShop (talk) 22:53, 22 February 2018 (UTC)  —Striking duplicate vote. MT TrainDiscuss 09:55, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - needless fork, should be covered in main article. Neutralitytalk 09:19, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - Trump's response is as notable as the topic itself. MikeAndJuliet (talk) 02:21, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
