Protests of the Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016

We have a WP:FORK issue. This article was created with the edit summary "A start", but by the end of the creator's initial contributions, as you can see here, the article was a clear duplication of content from 2016 Donald Trump Chicago rally protest and Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016. This does not appear to be in line with WP:CWW, despite this edit with the edit summary "from campaign article", without a link to said campaign article. I thought about nominating this for speedy deletion via A10, but am instead seeking a discussion of how to handle this. If either this or the Chicago article are to exist, it should be only one article, and the Chicago article history should be preserved. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:29, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete, too much overlap. Buffaboy  talk 18:34, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep, the article titles confused me. The fact that there has been an increasing number of notable incidents on a lesser scale of the Chicago one shows they deserve their own article. Buffaboy  talk 20:32, 14 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep and improve. Article was started as an attack on Donald Trump and his supporters. (Creator is proud of this fact ). However, while it may have started as a POV fork and was certainly created with malicious intent to use Wikipedia as a vehicle for a political attack, the protests at Trump rallies have been going on for months and are a significant part of the 2016 Presidential election.  Coverage of the protests that appeared pre-Chicago rally suffices to establish notability.   And while I think that the editorw  who creeated this article merits an topic ban, I maintain that we should asses the notability of this topic independently f the editor's partisan motivation.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:48, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - I thought we were in accord about how best to handle this. I think this article should be kept and 2016 Donald Trump Chicago rally protest deleted and redirected to it. WP:CWW can be addressed after the fact by placing a template:Copied on the talk page, as I mentioned here.- MrX 19:01, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I guess I misinterpreted how you suggested we handle this. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:49, 14 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep Important subtopic that can contain detailed information not suitable for Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016. Material in main article, Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016 should be summarized. User:Fred Bauder Talk 19:06, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Topic is still in news cycle, with more protests expected. Spirit Ethanol (talk) 19:18, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a notable subject, but it still needs tons of improvement. I don't recommend to delete articles solely on the basis of it being of too much overlap. However, if applicable, merge Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016 into this article and remove duplicated content that is present at 2016 Donald Trump Chicago rally protest, with a summary of that event per WP:SUMMARYSTYLE. epicgenius (talk) 19:23, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Withdraw I want to withdraw this one, as is right on the approach. I should've nom'd the other article. This mess is confusing me. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:50, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * , others interested, Given that article creator WP:CWW and quite openly used Wikipedia to create a highly POV attack article, should he receive some sort of warning or topic ban?E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:52, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: - I think not. I think it was an honest mistake or a question of not being aware of the policy/guideline. AGF. Buster Seven   Talk  22:34, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
