  • The article contains a lot of information which is either trivial (not WP:TRIVIA) or redundant to the parent article. This article was twice nominated for deletion. My nomination was the first but it was improperly done as my intent was to propose it be merged into the parent article. The second nomination is here [[2]]. I would note the number of editors (and the closer), especially ones not involved with the article, who felt the article violated WP:NOTNEWS, and would really be better as a part of the parent March for Our Lives article. The March for Our Lives Albany article was merged away for basically this same reason. Springee (talk) 01:06, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Springee, two previous deletion discussions and this clear preference not to merge the article show other editors disagree with you. I don't feel a need to say more. Thanks for the review, Courcelles. I will address your concerns as soon as I can. ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:12, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • I would not say that we have a clear consensus not to delete. The AfD was clear not to delete. The first one was closed early as malformed. The local consensus was to keep but we haven't actually posed an open RfC. It also doesn't address the large amount of trivial or redundant content in the article. Perhaps the best way to handle this is an open RfC since AfM is not likely to get much traction beyond those who have edited the article. Springee (talk) 01:19, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        • Interesting discussion, however, notability isn't part of the GA criteria as written. It seems odd, but, indeed, it isn't something I'm supposed to worry about. Sources I have checked, and the sources support the content, and there's enough of them to support all the content, that's as far as GA worries itself about sourcing, not whether they add up to notability for a stand alone article. Personally, I think they do, but that's irrelevant to whether this review passes or fails. Accordingly, it passes as the GA criteria are satisfied. 16:04, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
          • Interesting. Kind of odd that but that's also good to know if people say "it's a GA" as a reason not to merge the content or remove a lot of the trivial information. Springee (talk) 16:36, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
