We have a WP:FORK issue. This article was created with the edit summary "A start", but by the end of the creator's initial contributions, as you can see here, the article was a clear duplication of content from 2016 Donald Trump Chicago rally protest and Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016#Violence and expulsions at rallies. This does not appear to be in line with WP:CWW, despite this edit with the edit summary "from campaign article", without a link to said campaign article. I thought about nominating this for speedy deletion via A10, but am instead seeking a discussion of how to handle this. If either this or the Chicago article are to exist, it should be only one article, and the Chicago article history should be preserved. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:29, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, the article titles confused me. The fact that there has been an increasing number of notable incidents on a lesser scale of the Chicago one shows they deserve their own article. Buffaboy talk 20:32, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and improve. Article was started as an attack on Donald Trump and his supporters. (Creator is proud of this fact [1]). However, while it may have started as a POV fork and was certainly created with malicious intent to use Wikipedia as a vehicle for a political attack, the protests at Trump rallies have been going on for months and are a significant part of the 2016 Presidential election. Coverage of the protests that appeared pre-Chicago rally suffices to establish notability. And while I think that the editorw who creeated this article merits an topic ban, I maintain that we should asses the notability of this topic independently f the editor's partisan motivation.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:48, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - @Muboshgu: I thought we were in accord about how best to handle this. I think this article should be kept and 2016 Donald Trump Chicago rally protest deleted and redirected to it. WP:CWW can be addressed after the fact by placing a template:Copied on the talk page, as I mentioned here.- MrX 19:01, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: - I think not. I think it was an honest mistake or a question of not being aware of the policy/guideline. AGF. Buster Seven Talk 22:34, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
