WP:NOTNEWS, and a variation on Wikipedia:Not every single thing Donald Trump does deserves an article. It happened, yes, but what is the lasting impact? It's just another protest against a politician, though in a somewhat original format, which gave it 5 minutes of fame. Fram (talk) 17:28, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

:* Draftify to give possible time for improvements and to wait for potential future coverage. Not ready for main space.

• If kept, it should be merged with Statue of Donald Trump (Portland, Oregon), which is a copy of the same piece. Not sure why two pages were made for it. The same artist apparently also made The Donald J. Trump Enduring Flame and January 6 United States Capitol attack memorial so they could all be merged together since sources like [https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/10/30/mystery-artist-poop-tiki-trump-statues-philadelphia/] cover them together – there's a lot of temporary protest art that that receives brief news coverage but doesn't individually need standalone articles (also Crooked and Obscene). Or merge to Donald_Trump_in_popular_culture#Art. Certainly not make as many one-line articles as fast as possible – that's what draft space is for! Reywas92^Talk 18:26, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

• Draftify I'm not sure Wikipedia should keep any of them. Please see [https://mikerowe.com/2021/04/p-t-barnum-once-said-theres-no-such-thing-as-bad-publicity/ There’s no such thing as bad publicity] (i.e. things like this keep his name and image before the pubic). On the other hand, I don't see Wikipedia guidelines on what to do about this. — Maile (talk) 19:04, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
• I think the Philadelphia and Portland statues are similar, but not the same. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:27, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
• :[https://www.phillyvoice.com/donald-trump-statue-philly-maja-park/] says "An identical one showed up in Portland, Oregon earlier this week". They're not as identical as bronze casts, but they are still functionally enough the same that there is no reason for two separate articles. Reywas92^Talk 19:39, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable temporary art installation. Nate • (chatter) 21:40, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
• Keep merged page as redirect. Since there are now more sources covering both statues together, including [https://www.kuow.org/stories/it-s-not-just-d-c-satirical-trump-statues-are-appearing-in-cities-across-the-u-s some] using "In Honor of a Lifetime of Sexual Assault" as the title for both, I've redirected the Philadelphia page and moved the Portland page so both can be covered under the official title. I've left the AfD tag on the redirect to avoid removing a template inappropriately. I request to have the redirect page kept (because it serves a purpose) and propose closing this discussion as moot. I've been bold here but hope this compromise / solution works for others. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:02, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

• Keep merged page as redirect as long as article it points to is accepted in main space Nnev66 (talk) 11:49, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
