Wake Up, America

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Placed a prod, but was removed by an anon. No indication of notability, only page that even links to it is Dennis Kucinich. A politician gave a speech at the Democratic National Convention. So what? Recognizance (talk) 20:52, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete speech fails WP:NOTABILITY one time event with little coverage... RP459 (talk) 22:27, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, a one-time event with no special notability and no need for a standalone article. Obama's press conference the other day got news coverage too, but we surely don't need Barack Obama press conference of 7 January 2009.  If anyone cares to merge a sentence or so of this article to Dennis Kucinich, that might be appropriate.    Glenfarclas   ( talk ) 00:35, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Mention this all you want to in Dennis Kucinich. I'm afraid it doesn't "electrify" me. Mandsford (talk) 19:29, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete and simply put a mention of the speech in his article. i could find no coverage outside kos, demonow, all liberal advocacy sites. if it helps, i am strongly biased towards his politics (though its hard to imagine what it would be like to have an ACTUAL outsider elected prez (right or left). perennial also rans are fascinating, probably valuable, but probably not good choices for the office). but WP, of course, is not a soapbox.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 20:21, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, significant public attention as demonstrated through sources. Everyking (talk) 00:11, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Not to get into "other stuff exists"-type arguments, but I'd like to point to Public image of Mitt Romney as an example of a speech that's covered as part of a larger article. As suggested above, this can be covered without its own article. Recognizance (talk) 00:28, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * But you nominated it for deletion. If you think it's reasonable to merge the content, why do you want it deleted? Everyking (talk) 01:06, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Because deletion doesn't mean expunging it from Wikipedia. A sentence on Kucinich's article is fine. The example I cited was meant to reinforce that anything more belongs with 2008 Democratic National Convention. Recognizance (talk) 04:30, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
