Taco trucks on every corner

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A catchphrase from a presidential campaign spokesperson. WP:NOTNEWS. Fails WP:GNG and WP:EVENT. It's too soon to know if this statement is going to be notable, as it now fades from the current news cycle after having been a "nine day wonder." The essential, missing element is "enduring notability." Geoff | ^{Who, me?} 21:03, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Passes WP:GNG easily with significant coverage in numerous independent reliable sources. But that is not enough. Passing GNG only means it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article. On this topic we absolutely should also consider WP:EVENT, WP:NOTNEWS, WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTAL, and base our decision on existing coverage in reliable sources. And after much review of the voluminous existing coverage, my conclusion is that the topic passes WP:EVENT. The coverage of how the event sparked the creation of the Guac The Vote campaign from the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce was the 'final straw' that made me decide to move this article into mainspace. -- 1Wiki8...........................

Keep or Re-draftify. News coverage persists to this very day (e.g. [1], non-UTC time). It still may be too soon to deduce whether or not this may have lasting significance, or if it will end up being a WP:NOTNEWS situation. A great deal of sources have covered the topic, so it does meet WP:GNG. Including re-draftify as an option in my !vote because this was moved from draft to main namespace on 12 September 2016 (diff), perhaps prematurely. Another option is to selectively merge to another article, such as Discrimination in the United States § Discrimination against immigrants (obviously topically related), or perhaps United States presidential election, 2016, or perhaps to both.

Keep taco trucks memes on every wiki. Solid references. Ask me in 10 years if it has "enduring notability." --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 14:57, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Easily passes WP:GNG and, per 1Wiki8, WP:EVENT as well. Non-trivial coverage in reliable media sources has been persistent and voluminous.--NextUSprez (talk) 15:02, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this poorly written article, on the grounds that sourcing is massive, and the phrase has formed a significant part of the campaign. New sources include: "Samantha Bee Uncovered the Shady History of the 'Taco Trucks on Every Corner' Guy," Esquire (magazine) [2]; "Latino group hopes to troll Trump with taco trucks on Election Day," CNN [3].E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:27, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – The topic continues to receive coverage up to this very day: [4] (non-UTC time). Seems quite likely to have enduring notability. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 10:17, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep notable event in this election cycle. it will fade in immediate relevance, but thats not important for it to stay. it is notable NOW.Mercurywoodrose (talk)
