Delete It seems that all of this is covered in the main article. These should clearly be combined. I see no reason at all why these have remained separate for so long. PickleG13 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 09:25, 15 August 2023‎ (UTC)

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2023 August 16. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 02:15, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep meets GNG and WP:EVENT. Potential merges can be discussed on relevant talk pages. —siro χ o 02:57, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As expected, it has extensive coverage in reliable sources. Meets WP:GNG and WP:NEVENT + AfD isn't really meant for merge requests, which is what I presume the nominator wants. ULPS ^{(talk • contribs)} 03:18, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep. Wrong venue to discuss merging. pburka (talk) 04:11, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep clearly notable. Start a merge discussion to merge. SportingFlyer T·C 12:44, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Her 2008 presidential campaign was only a primary campaign so I don't see why there are two articles. I would encourage PickleG13 to start a talk discussion if folks are going to get procedural here. Reywas92^Talk 13:26, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Whether procedural or not, AfD really isn't the best forum for this type of merge discussion. AfDs are fixed-length, general discussions about whether an article should be deleted based on policies and guidelines, and if alternatives can be found. For the type of merge being proposed, if a discussion is needed, it should give chance for editors who have worked on the article to participate, often taking longer than an AFD, but sometimes being much quicker when consensus develops rapidly. There's also the option for a WP:BOLD merge, with the understanding that it might get reverted if there's disagreement and a discussion ends up being needed anyways. Honestly, for actual article editing, I prefer any of these "less procedural" options than AfD. —siro χ o 16:23, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't realise there were two articles, but they're both lengthy and cover different topics. SportingFlyer T·C 21:34, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep per Siroxo and Pburka. Clearly meets WP:EVENT, and any merge discussions can and should take place on the relevant talk page(s). Sal2100 (talk) 19:23, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep: Notable subject and as others have already noted, this is the wrong forum to discuss a merge User:Let'srun 01:45, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Clearly notable. If a merge is warranted discuss then discuss that at the proper place. Grahaml35 (talk) 15:29, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Clearly notable, as others have explained. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:28, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep This article is nearly as big as main article on Hillary Clinton. Editorkamran (talk) 12:03, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
