Residences of Donald Trump

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

We don't need to have the minutiae of every aspect of Trump's life on Wikipedia. While I can understand that he is an unusual president (businessman not politician) there is no reason why we need a list of every property he's ever lived in or owned, especially when most of these places will never have more than a sentence or two about them.

I could maybe see this turned into a "List of..." article, but I generally remain unconvinced that this is encyclopaedic information. Primefac (talk) 23:11, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's an appropriately cited article on a popular topic, and will likely be a much-used resource by journalists for years to come.  And it's already effectively a list, there's no particular need to have "List of" in the title.--Pharos (talk) 00:02, 16 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete. Trump is an unusual president, but that doesn't mean that Wikipedia should be a Robin Leach-like "Encyclopedia of the Rich and Famous". The type of thing is good for a tabloid, but not an encyclopedia. Coverage of Trump in Wikipedia should focus on more substantial things. Earlier in the day, I added material to the Protests against Donald Trump article and added material to Wikipedia's United States Environmental Protection Agency and Superfund articles which were related to Trump. So I am not against adding a significant amount of material to Wikipedia relating to Trump. It just should be done in a more thoughtful way.Knox490 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 00:08, 16 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete. People (and the press) care where George Washington slept, maybe Lincoln too, back when moving could be quite an undertaking. Not so much any president since, not even Kennedy (although they are curious about whom he slept with). Same with much more important and successful businessmen than Mr. Multi-Bankrupcy. Nobody cares about all the places Bill Gates or Warren Buffett put up their feet. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:27, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Addendum. An article could be written about his excessive travel expenses, picked up by the taxpayers, but that's an entirely different topic. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:47, 22 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep The media is interested in the places that Trump can reside at or has resided at because the costs of his travel are transferred onto the American people. If he was not president, this list would be simply a list of where a rich man lives. However, the fact that he is president makes the content of the article important enough to include in the encyclopedia. These places are notable in terms of the costs Trump incurs by traveling to them. PointsofNoReturn (talk) 02:16, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Except this isn't a list of the costs of his housing, or how much is spent every time he visits one of them. It's just a list of his properties and some trivia about one of them. Primefac (talk) 02:21, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
 * That content could be added, assuming that the information is available. Perhaps a summary of where the plane lands, such as the airport near Mar-A-Lago. This article may be underdeveloped, but it could be improved without being deleted. PointsofNoReturn (talk) 02:26, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Appropriate list-article.  "List of" does not need to be in the article title. -- do  ncr  am  15:04, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - Meets the WP:NOTESAL requirements in that the subject of the list, the Trump residences, has been discussed as a group by independent reliable sources, these being the two main sources cited in the article, and . Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:58, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - I am one of the primary editors of this article. I have been away from computers and will likely continue to be until the 24th, however I can write a short comment - I wanted to write about Seven Springs, Beverly Hills, and a few others but I and others didn't want to expand the already too large Trump article and subarticles, so this was created. Sources are ridiculous in number for this topic, like passing GNG by miles. Also keep in mind that Article content does not determine notability.

 * Keep checked the sources, meets the notability guidelines Seraphim System  ( talk ) 18:38, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep We can wonder why such topics have received as much coverage as they have but it's hard to deny that this has received enough to satisfy GNG concerns.LM2000 (talk) 20:00, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Well, it seems that this is trivial at best, and really could be merged with the Donald Trump article. &mdash; JJ Be  rs  23:46, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep but trim. This is notable and a subject of interest. Also see List of residences of Presidents of the United States. However, some entries should be removed, trimmed, or relocated. I think some entries are (or ought to be, because we may need to narrow the scope of the article) irrelevant. I'm especially looking at the Beverly Hills entry. Not opposed to moving the article.--Mr. Guye (talk) 00:01, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
