Connection to TheDonald.win in Origins section

TheDonald.win is not just another website, it was created by moderators of /r/The_Donald subreddit and promoted specifically because they believed that Reddit would eventually ban the sub. This belief is largely attributed to the fact that every subreddit that has ever been quarantined has eventually been banned, with none so far being un-quarantined. This should be mentioned in the Origins section. --Techied (talk) 01:09, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because it is about a popular website. To meet the requirement for indication of importance, I will reference the number of users and posts the websites receives. It is a surprisingly large number, which makes the website appear notable (at least I think it does). Adil3214 (talk) 01:11, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because it is information about the website/forum thedonald.win, which is a popular site among Trump supporters. The site is very popular and thus a wikipedia article is acceptable for a forum of its size and popularity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bolt9094 (talk • contribs) 02:29, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alt-Right category

Sergei zavorotko, can you provide some context as to why you added this category? Alt-right says: "The alt-right is a biologically racist movement" however the site's rules specifically state "No Racism" --Techied (talk) 23:52, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To further clarify, I think that some definitions of the "alt-right" term are accurate and do apply here, however much of the definition provided here by Wikipedia does not apply to the site. --Techied (talk) 23:59, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The original subreddit and website has a lengthy history of associating themselves and being associated with the alt-right. In the similar fashion to how Breitbart News does for instance. Just because some alt-rightists believe in scientific racism doesn't mean the website adheres to scientific racism. Numerous categorizations of the alt-right don't apply to all individuals. The rules also claim "No Racism", but that rule is seldom enforced. Explicit Islamophobia and implicit racism is common throughout. Sergei zavorotko (talk) 01:27, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with your reasoning here, but nonetheless the category applies in some ways, so it makes sense. --Techied (talk) 08:11, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's not clear that thedonald.win associates itself with the alt-right. We would need sources substantiating this. Also, it is not going to be sufficient to merely find somebody on the internet who calls them "racist" since that is a term that is used indiscriminately in many cases. We would need substantiation of so-called "scientific racism" per above, and given thedonald.win's explicit stance against racism, that seems unlikely.
