The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was merge & redirect to Donald Trump (Last Week Tonight). Three approaches were presented here. Some supported that the article be kept on the basis that there are a number of sources discussing this name, and that this very Wikipedia article has been the subject of sources. However, justification for this position was often based on subjective notions of importance or popularity. Others argued it should be deleted, noting that not all newsworthy subjects require Wikipedia articles. Some also expressed concern that the article could be susceptible to policy violations and should be deleted and protected from recreation. However, the name clearly has coverage, and we have methods to address policy violations. Consensus favored merging and redirecting to an article describing how the name was surfaced and the aftermath. Support for this position contended that the majority of coverage about the name is in the context of this particular episode. Some individuals also changed their position to supporting merge midway through this discussion.

Before redirecting the article, I will take care of merging any relevant material to the target shortly. I, JethroBT drop me a line 06:47, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
