TrumpVirus

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A few politicians coining an array of vaguely similar terms does not an article make. Words and terms themselves have a very high bar for notability for standalone articles (see Ain't for one example), and this doesn't come anywhere close to that. As it stands, this is a single paragraph chock full of WP:SYNTHesis, putting a bunch of wikt:WT:SOP phrases, a hashtag, etc, together into something that's kind of a WP:COATRACK about criticism of Trump's handling of the pandemic. If there's information to add to an existing article (and there sure are plenty about this already), then add it, but this doesn't deserve the redirect that was initially placed. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon &bull; videos) 13:15, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

 * KEEP - The current "TrumpVirus" version (and particularly the original "TrumpVirus" article - before an undiscussed subsequent edit) seems sufficiently cited in the responsible news media (including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, CNN News and many others) as well as Google Search (over 258,000 hits for "TrumpVirus" as/of September 5, 2020) to be relevant and satisfy WP:Notability - in any case - Stay Safe and Healthy !! - Drbogdan (talk) 13:39, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Umm, this article is not "cited in" any other media, although it does cite other media sources. You're neglecting to mention that what was removed (by me, see below) was a gross violation of WP:OR and WP:PROMO.  This does not require discussion to remove. And no, the citations weren't sufficient (Does Urban Dictionary count as responsible media? Really?).  There is no topic here to  notable.  It was originally an article promoting a single website, which has been removed.  People coin terms all the time and other people even talk about the coinage sometimes.  But the terms themselves are almost never notable (in the Wikipedia sense), even though what they refer to might be.  See WP:UMD for some ancillary info.  –Deacon Vorbis (carbon &bull; videos) 14:41, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment to expand on my original nomination a little. Looking at the original version of the article, all that was there was material serving to promote someone's website.  I've since removed that and a lot of the WP:OR that was present.  There's basically nothing left, which isn't surprising given that there's no actual notable topic here.  –Deacon Vorbis (carbon &bull; videos) 14:14, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - My clarified/updated edit to the above comments is as follows: * Keep [updated - per suggestion - since my first original edit above] - The current "TrumpVirus" version (and particularly the original "TrumpVirus" article - before an undiscussed subsequent edit) is WP:Notable since the term ["TrumpVirus"] seems sufficiently referred to by numerous sources in the responsible news media (including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, CNN News and many others) as well as Google Search (over 258,000 hits for "TrumpVirus" as/of September 5, 2020) to be relevant and satisfy WP:Notability - in any case - Stay Safe and Healthy !! - Drbogdan (talk) 13:39, 5 September 2020 (UTC) - Note: This is a newer reply - updated and improved due to subsequent comments - and suggestion - thanks - Drbogdan (talk) 15:29, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * The original article is also at User:Drbogdan/sandbox-TrumpVirus - thanks - Drbogdan (talk) 10:55, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * DELETE We don't create articles for every single nation that has the virus and name them after the leader of those nations. Seems to be opinion pieces using this the most.  They whine when things are shutdown, they whine when they aren't shut down and the virus spreads. A new editor with no other edits created the article, linking to their politically bias website. Special:Contributions/TalkBaja It was just a redirect before then.  D r e a m Focus  17:36, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Never underestimate the narcissitic, navel-gazzing, Americentricism of some editors.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:15, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - we don't need to create articles very every single cute phrase someone happens to come up with and appears in a few sources. This is an idiom, and could just be mentioned in an article discussing criticism of the administration's response to COVID more broadly. -- Zim Zala Bim talk 22:08, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Seems like a neologism to me. -Kj cheetham (talk) 15:43, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, delete the various redirects to it as well, such as National TrumpVirus Day. -Kj cheetham (talk) 19:01, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Yet another politically charged neologism that's wasting space here and is only notable to a small group of people on Twitter who communicate in memes. No restoration of the redirect, either.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 16:23, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment this was originally created as a redirect to COVID-19 but the present form was created by . --◊ PRAHLAD balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 01:16, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to COVID-19 (and all the others should be done so as well). Growingly plausible term, but not good enough (yet) for an article. ◊ PRAHLAD <sup style="color:#707">balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 12:20, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete The whole article is a huge violation of NPOV. Redirecting it would be an even bigger violation of NPOV.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:13, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * No it wouldn't. Read the appropriate policy before making big claims. — &thinsp;J947 ‡ message ⁓ edits 21:37, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
