Hillary Clinton brain damage rumor[edit]

(

)

... that most of the alleged evidence cited in the Hillary Clinton brain damage rumor is the result of photos or videos being "reinterpreted and wrenched out of context"?

I am struggling to think of a justification for featuring an article about a rightwing meme propagated by partisan websites with poor reputation for reliability. Especially in the middle of an election. In fact, I am struggling to imagine a justification for this article's existence at all. Sorry. Gatoclass (talk) 13:04, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Gatoclass - for the same reason we have, and disabuse, other extremist conspiracy theories like World Trade Center controlled demolition conspiracy theories, Illuminati, and Climate change denial. This is an important article as it collates the rational response and verifiable facts presented by RS that debunks a weird meme propogated by chat rooms, blogs, and notorious conspiracists like PJW in one place. This speaks to the very of the purpose of WP - to empower people with knowledge. If you think this fails GNG then AfD it but please don't just decide to plop down and sit on it. Thanks.

Thank you, Brianga. LavaBaron (talk) 17:43, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

In view of Brianga's AfD, I withdraw this nomination and announce my intent to repurpose both of the QPQs here to other articles. LavaBaron (talk) 20:12, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

in light of the above withdrawal from the nominator. Brianga (talk) 20:22, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
