Originally nominated for speedy deletion by @Bait30 under speedy deletion criterion G3 as a hoax. F ASTILY  00:43, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: WP:NOTALTHIST. The plethora of fictional election infoboxes, such as the 2016 US presidential election where Obama beat Charlie Baker, indicates that this is an alt-history page.  Bait30   Talk 2 me pls? 02:11, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: User:Bait30, can you speculate on why these things exist? SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:15, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I mean I can definitely see the appeal in this. It can definitely be fun to speculate about different things in history and make little articles of even just infoboxes just to make your ideas look official. That's why alt history forums such as, , and . Many of the people on those message boards are aware enough that these kinds of posts aren't allowed on Wikipedia. They'll do the thing where they'll edit the page with what they want, click "Show preview", and screenshot with out actually saving the edits. There's also at least one website that runs on MediaWiki that hosts alt history stuff, but I guess some people still don't know about it.  Bait30   Talk 2 me pls? 04:35, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
