Article declined--looking for dialogue

edit

Was just wondering what sources would meet the requirements? I had provided multiple mainstream sources including Associated Press, KOMO, Seattle PI, KING 5 (NBC Affiliate), Seattle Times, and more of which directly covered the event and not just in passing mentions, but the entirety of those articles are regarding this specific event. It being a 2016 US Presidential Election backed article should be enough in itself, right?, as the goal of Wikipedia is to bookmark notable events first and foremost--I believe a historical event about one of the most influential and consequential leaders of our time (Good or bad) is worth having on the main space in the name of preserving written history.-- was hoping to start a dialogue about this @BKissin Gonzafer001 (talk) 05:06, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

How is this rally different from the hundreds of other rallies that Trump did in his campaigns? We don't have an article for each one of his rallies. I think you may be misunderstanding what Wikipedia is for. It is not a an indiscriminate chronicle of every event, and WP:EVENTS are usually notable if they have lasting significance and effects on the world. A political rally (which is WP:ROUTINE for a political campaign) does not have that kind of significance. Bkissin (talk) 02:58, 4 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
That makes sense, thank you--Would this info instead be better off within a section of Donald Trump Page, or is there simply no significance at all to it? Gonzafer001 (talk) 05:40, 5 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
You could add it as a line in the article about Lynden, Washington, because a former president coming to the town is something. In terms of independent significance, I would say no, not really. If it's not already listed on the List of rallies for the 2016 Donald Trump presidential campaign, you could add it there. Bkissin (talk) 00:31, 6 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
