Comment: Far . This is a developing story. It may well end up being a major news story that deserves a separate article, but we're not there yet and things could go the other way as time goes on

Comment: per . The allegations are simply too recent. We can probably summarize everything in about 2 paragraphs in the main Gaetz article

Comment: it is far too premature for a standalone article on this. The article is still short and the main Matt Gaetz article has a discussion of these allegations which is more detailed than the one in this article. Nor do we have any good reason to believe that these allegations will have much |lasting significance, as they haven't been confirmed, they haven't led to any charges and the person they relate to is only a congressman. I don't see anything to merge given that the main article covers this in more detail already

Comment: I'm really uncomfortable with this. It says in the article that no charges have been brought, yet the article name uses the phrase "child sex scandal" without any qualifiers, which could well give the impression that not only charges have been brought but they've also been ''proven''. I know  sort of allows this, but while the article may be within the letter of that guideline, I don't think it is within its spirit. If it were my call, I'd say speedily delete this as wholly negative BLP that's also just . But given that the story is merely a day or two old, I guess I could live with it being draftified for a while, pending further developments, assuming that's okay legally etc. (And just to say, I've never heard of this chap, I don't even know which party he represents, so my comment is entirely unbiased in that respect

Comment: Blindingly, Obviously. 1, the topic is seeing sustained, widespread coverage in both national and international sources. 2, as long as the article is focused on the allegations of a crime and not stating that the subject actually committed a crime (until he is indicted, of course). 3,  is not applicable, as the subject is a public figure. If there are concerns about improper language used in the article such as "child s**" or "s** trafficking", than those can be handled by reverting to err on side of caution, and discussing. Finally, a merger is not appropriate given the scope of what has been reported so far. It would be undue to include this much info in the bio

Comment: as an  spinout of a BLP subject that is far too soon. The parent article itself is only 5500 words right now, and it absolutely could be trimmed further; there's no basis for needing a spinout article (that as pointed out essentially makes assertions of criminal conduct in the very framing). There's no reason that this article should exist as a separate topic. Suppositions that it could "blow up" or involve tons of people that require a separate article are entirely jumping the gun; we judge suitability for merging or deleting by the sources we have ''now'', not on the idea that maybe something will happen later
