 * Keep. There is a clear distinction between the designation, which is a political determination, and the general assertion of a state actually being a sponsor of terrorism. There are many countries that are asserted to sponsor terrorism but do not receive the designation, and instances where a state has been added to or removed from the list for transparently political reasons that have nothing to do with any change in the behavior of the state. bd2412  T 16:16, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep This article is about the United States Department of State designation which is distinct from State-sponsored terrorism (which is about the concept in general). The name possibly should have a (United States) in the title to make this clear.Icewhiz (talk) 16:19, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep United States Department of State designation which is distinct from State-sponsored terrorism and this has a significant coverage in reliable  sources and the impact of USA designating a country as a terrorist state is significant. Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 07:44, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep per WP:SNOW. The nomination is completely off the mark. These topics are related but not redundant. Both pass GNG with flying colors. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 14:05, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep as this meets all content guidelines for notability. --  Dane talk  19:00, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
