Same reasons as those in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/International reactions to the 2008 United States presidential election and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/International reactions to the 2020 United States presidential election. This page is a case of WP:NOTNEWS and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Wow (talk) 06:46, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to 2012 United States presidential election (and remove the "main article" link from that page). I am mixed on this. The nom's assessment of NOTNEWS is fully accurate the way the article is structured, and there's actually a bit of SYNTH because of the extreme level of primary sourcing. However, there is certainly secondary coverage of international reactions we could use to construct a fine article on this if someone was so inclined. I am hopeful that by preserving history with a redirect we can leave breadcrumbs for someone to do just that. —siro χ o 07:36, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

just delete The basic issue is that, unsurprisingly, 99% of the reactions were routine congratulations. Even what negative reactions there were are just people talking. There is just nothing here worth saving, and the precedent is deletion. Mangoe (talk) 02:04, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Nothing encyclopedic, just regular political chatter with no analysis or context. And I don't see there being any significant secondary analysis of this topic anywhere. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 15:31, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
