Let's put this to the WP:10YT. This fails WP:NEVENT. I remember it, Obama won reelection, some upset conservatives created petitions on a website that doesn't exist any longer, they received official responses from the White House, and that was that. – Muboshgu (talk) 05:06, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Secession in the United States#State secession then selectively summarise (post-AfD) at Secession#United States. Muboshgu's point on the 10-year test is spot on: all of the sources presented are WP:PRIMARYNEWS, and there has been no WP:SIGCOV since then. All recent RS I can find are mere mentions, and the entire thing fails WP:NEVENT for (amongst other problems) WP:EFFECT, WP:DEPTH and WP:PERSISTENCE.
