Republican Revolution of 2016

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A PROD tag was removed by the article's creator. I stand by my original rationale for the PROD:
 * Neologism. The article brings nothing that isn't already covered in articles about the US 2016 election cycle.

I guess I could also point to our policy on original research. Pichpich (talk) 18:56, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete not that it's implausible that we will come over time to refer to this election by this neologism; we may. However, I searched, and very few sources call it that as yet. At best, this is WP:TOOSOON.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:32, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Triumphalism aside, a Gnews search for this exact term yields absolutely nothing. A Gnews search for the term without "of 2016" does yield some passing mentions as a metaphor, but no more so than any article on "[name of politician/party] landslide" merits an article on such a landslide as a real thing, in addition to the election or politician in question. The Trump/GOP successes are well documented in the appropriate articles. Even Reagan revolution is a redirect. If someone wants to repurpose as a redirect, I've no objection.

 * Delete, fails WP:NEO and really WP:MADEUP. I don't think it's a plausible redirect. ansh 666 19:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
 * delete until sources actually refer to it as such, like the 94 Republican Revolution. ValarianB (talk) 20:43, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per above arguments re WP:NEO. This is not notable enough to warrant its own stand-alone article. The article basically summarizes the results of the election, which are already adequately covered in the main article. Gabe Iglesia (talk) 21:29, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete Not even a neologism - that would imply that someone has used it! It's the author's own WP:MADEUP term. Apparently, they were just itching to create an article. Jergling (talk) 21:51, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as far too soon. A more plausible redirect might be Whig Party (United States), Revolution of 1848. Bearian (talk) 20:55, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails notability, with no media coverage using the term. WP:MADEUP and WP:NEO apply here AusLondonder (talk) 21:30, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
