The Feedback Loop of Saturday Night Live and Donald Trump

Good article, maybe useful for something :[1] Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 22:21, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable sources

Please stop using primary sources for this article. Plenty of adequate secondary sourcing exists, such as http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/18/arts/television/snl-donald-trump-vladimir-putin-alec-baldwin.html If it isn't covered in a secondary source, it likely doesn't warrant mention in the article. czar 08:07, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Baldwin section seems very large compared to the rest of the article. Sure, it´s easier to find sources closer in time, but still. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 20:33, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Way, way to much Baldwin

Fireflyfanboy and anyone else who is interested. The Baldwin-section is now way to large, with a level of detail that is well into fan-site territory. I intend to cut this section, including getting rid of the "episode" subsections. Remember, summarize what independent reliable sources say about the subject. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:17, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Saturday Night Live parodies of Hillary Clinton article have a similar problem. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:19, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I have now done some merciless and brutal cutting. The section looks more reasonable to me, now. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 14:11, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Another image

Since we already have a non-free image in the article, I'm sceptical if we can have another, but this one [3] would be nice in the Baldwin section. Too bad Spicey is missing. I thought Ivanka was doing another cameo, but no. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:58, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Section on Trump's reaction?

Shouldn't there be a section on Trump's reactions to the parodies (especially Badlwin's)? He has often tweeted about the show. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.229.187.122 (talk) 00:19, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe, or just add to existing sections. Some is in the article already, but it hasn't been updated in awhile. What sources do you suggest? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:47, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Other portrayals

There were a series of sketches called "Them Trumps" [4] which Kenan Thompson portrayed Darius trump, a Black version of Trump. In another sketch Leslie Jones appears as Trump, in the same sketch Vanessa Bayer appears briefly as Trump.[5]Shouldn't these portrayals mentioned too?

Do you have any decent secondary WP:RS who noticed these and bothered to write something about them? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:26, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
