Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Calls for Joe Biden to suspend his 2024 United States presidential campaign

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect‎ to Joe Biden 2024 presidential campaign#Calls for Biden to withdraw. Most of the Keep views focused on the amount of news coverage the topic received, and its political importance. Both are valid factors when determining journalistic importance, but not in establishing encyclopedic notability. Claiming notability comes from this being an unprecedented event is also not supported by our P&G.

Some participants called for waiting until November before we decide. Such an a posteriori determination of notability goes against our guidelines, as some here correctly noted. In the event that this topic gains notability in the future, nothing stops us from restoring the article from under the redirect. Discarding the !votes not based on P&G, we're left with a rough consensus to redirect.

There was a separate consensus since the AfD was opened to move the Calls for Biden to step aside section in both 2024 United States presidential election and 2024 Democratic Party presidential primaries to Joe_Biden_2024_presidential_campaign, so I picked the latter as the target most likely to reflect the intention of the Redirect views. That shouldn't prevent any editor from selectively merging content to the two other articles (or to List of Democrats who oppose the Joe Biden 2024 presidential campaign), or if consensus exists, changing the target of this redirect.
