The result was speedy keep. WP:SK1; nominator was unaware of WP:PM and proposes a merge, not deletion. Potental merges can be discussed there. The Bushranger One ping only 06:34, 11 November 2017 (UTC) reply

This article largely covers a single press conference and three states' response to that single press conference. It the topic is noteworthy but not deserving of its own article. There are single articles for the administration's policy on immigration and the economy, but a separate one for marijuana? Seems rather silly to me. The content should be stripped down and merged into Social policy of Donald Trump. Instaurare ( talk) 04:40, 9 November 2017 (UTC) reply

Hi Instaurare, perhaps it's a dumb question, but if the content should be stripped down and merged, why are you proposing a deletion instead of a formal merge? Regards, Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 05:31, 9 November 2017 (UTC) reply
I may be the dumb one. I have seen many AfDs where merge was the final result, so I didn't know there was a formal merge process. Instaurare ( talk) 03:27, 10 November 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Speedy keep Speedy keep CRIT 1, nominator is proposing a merger, not deletion (or redirection). Galobtter ( talk) 06:53, 9 November 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: a quick Google search shows that this is clearly notable for a standalone page. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. I'll add them where necessary. Janet-O ( talk) 14:02, 9 November 2017 (UTC) reply
Even the nominator seems to think so "It the topic is noteworthy but not deserving of its own article." and seems to be only proposing a merger, which is why I !voted speedy keep. Galobtter ( talk) 14:03, 9 November 2017 (UTC) reply
