The result was WP:SNOW delete. Clear POV fork (relating to a BLP), no potential with the article's current title and presentation of only two past events. Jamie☆S93 02:45, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another Obama content fork. Also, the only two alleged "scandals" happened before there was any such thing as a "Barack Obama administration." Beeblebrox (talk) 19:49, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- We seem to have crossed paths. I was busy deleting sections from the article for exactly the reasons you cite. This article was speedied a few days ago and recreated. I'm not in principle opposed to "list of scandals about x" entries, but they should be titled as such; this page has a misleading title, given the content.

- Actually, I saw you creating the talk page, so I checked out the article. Was the previous version under a different title? I didn't see anything in the log. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:59, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- No, I meant simply that a list of Barack Obama scandals should be called that, not "Barack Obama administration controversies". It's completely misleading; the article doesn't deliver what it promises. Hairhorn (talk) 20:16, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as a BLP-oriented negative content fork. MuZemike 20:12, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong delete. Inherently fails WP:NPOV and probably WP:NOR. Stifle (talk) 20:16, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as a POV fork and per above. Tavix | Talk 20:25, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong delete as POV fork. Does the author edit Conservapedia by any chance? :-P Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 20:34, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Could be a freeper. Umbralcorax (talk) 21:47, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete- an article on a subject like this could be written, but it would need a neutral title, and a neutral point of view. This article currently has all but two of those, and I don't see it evolving past that. Umbralcorax (talk) 21:46, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
