Delete - Fails WP:EVENT for lack of lasting effect, geographical scope, significant coverage, and duration of coverage. Most of the coverage has been in unreliable far-right sources like The Blaze, Twitchy, and Breitbart, thereby failing WP:INDEPENDENT and WP:DIVERSE.- Mr X 🖋 12:50, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

keep based on the reasoning of Vami IV and Jujutsuan in the last AfD. This article meets WP:GNG, and this Newsweek source also helps establish notability.desmay (talk) 19:23, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- Poor sources. The Newsweek one is fine, but it's a relatively brief mention from a few weeks after the event. The rest are either strictly local, or unusable political gossip and blogs. If this had any lasting impact it hasn't been explained very well. Grayfell (talk) 02:49, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Suggest that the reliable sources are used to create a paragraph within College Republicans#Activities. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 13:36, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
