Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John McCain lobbyist controversy, February 2008

A mini-controversy with no lasting importance Borock (talk) 09:33, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Controversy refers to events which happened before the presidential campaign, and were widely reprinted during. Page already avoided deletion in previous discussion early last year. Interesting that new deletion discussion comes up just as Iseman lawsuit and Times response have been added. With all these things in mind, I would argue much stronger deletion argument must be made in order to draw consensus than one similar argument made in last year's AfD.

Keep. The defamation lawsuit just filed shows that the article (which is about press actions as much as it's about McCain actions) has lasting importance. Wasted Time R (talk) 14:25, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Merge into McCain Presidential Campaign article. It is not a "stand alone" sort of article at all. Collect (talk) 15:53, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. Every little political "controversy" doesn't need it's own article. StonerDude420 (talk) 18:27, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
