Delete or Redirect to American_expansionism_under_Donald_Trump#Danish_and_Greenlandic_reactions. This is a classic case of turning confusing existence with notability and goes against what Wikipedia is not (in this case not a newspaper). All the citations were published the same day. As such, this does not have lasting coverage. I also believe that this event fails WP:EVENT inclusion criteria #4 specifically as this is a viral phenomena. It is WP:TRUMPCRUFT-adjacent as much like not everything Trump says deserves an article, not every response to what he says deserves an article either. Mpen320 (talk) 15:08, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

- Comment There are 19 references in the article, are they genuinely not enough?๐ฒJothefiredragon๐ฅtalk๐งจcontributionsโจlog๐ 15:37, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
:* Reply. My nomination does not ding it for quantity of references. It is that the event does not meet WP:EVENT.--Mpen320 (talk) 18:36, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
:*:I see. Then I say that it should be converted to a redirect. ๐ฒJothefiredragon๐ฅtalk๐งจcontributionsโจlog๐ 07:36, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete A facetious reponse, not anything serious. Obviously does not need a standalone article. Reywas92Talk 15:44, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete reactionary article that does not demonstrate WP:LASTING notability Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 15:45, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
- delete Between WP:NOTNEWS and the inability of anyone here, apparently, to write a sentence where three paragraphs would do, this is a hugely WP:UNDUE prose dump about an extremely brief snark-back at Trump's assertion about Greenland. Heck the Gulf-of-Anything-But-Mexico snarkage had a longer span; they lasted maybe two weeks. Mangoe (talk) 15:52, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

- Delete - nowhere close to a lasting impact, this didn't even get through a single news cycle. Bearian (talk) 21:30, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
- Keep"' this has enough references and gained lots of attention when it happened. Chorchapu''' (talk | edits) 19:04, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect to American_expansionism_under_Donald_Trump#Danish counter-proposal to purchase California as a valid redirect and search term.--Mojo Hand (talk) 03:17, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
