Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alt-right
Leaning keep with the suggestion that cuckservative be merged into this article, as the terms seem very closely linked (i.e. cuckservative is the creation of the alt-right, and shares the same space online). For the sake of limiting the domain of action to this article, maybe it should be merge to cuckservative, with the expectation of a RM being opened to move that to alt-right. This is a tough one, though. There are a lot of sources that use "alt-right", a lot of sources that give brief definitions/explanations, and some very decent sources which go into a bit more depth. A delete seems hard to justify unless the rationale is just  (which may be applicable -- I'm trying to research before really diving into the article). Plenty of political topics/movements do cover a broader-than-ideal-from-an-encyclopedia's-standpoint range of people and beliefs, but are nonetheless included as encyclopedic topics because sources define them in sufficiently similar ways. In this case, the subject seems to be roughly a loud/bombastic/confrontational/trollish largely Internet-based extremist group with close ties to white nationalism and known in 2016 for their support of Donald Trump's presidential bid. There are plenty of other things, but that definition seems to fit with most of the reliable sources. That said, the tie with white nationalism is so strong that there may be an existing article on the subject that could sustain a merge. Alternatively, and this is certainly bound to be controversial, since the vast majority of sources also link it with the Trump campaign, we could merge to taht article, too. Ultimately, it's hard to ignore full-length articles in http://www.newyorker.com/news/benjamin-wallace-wells/is-the-alt-right-for-real The New Yorker and https://www.buzzfeed.com/rosiegray/how-2015-fueled-the-rise-of-the-freewheeling-white-nationali BuzzFeedNews (which is not a terrible source anymore, btw), http://www.vice.com/read/the-trump-loving-alt-right-turns-to-guns-to-provoke-and-offend Vice, http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/05/05/meet-milo-yiannopoulos-the-appealing-young-face-of-the-racist-alt-right.html Daily Beast, http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/12/03/rush-limbaugh-s-favorite-new-white-power-group.html Daily Beast again, http://www.dailywire.com/news/4396/responding-alt-right-are-they-bigots-or-just-ben-shapiro Daily Wire, and http://www.vox.com/2016/4/18/11434098/alt-right-explained Vox, as well as coverage in http://motherboard.vice.com/read/understanding-trumps-troll-army Vice again, http://www.newsweek.com/unashamed-racists-backing-trump-all-way-454698?piano_t=1 Newsweek, http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/05/10/ann-coulter-s-anti-semitism-runs-deeper-than-you-know.html Daily Beast again, https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2016/04/28/breitbartcom-becoming-media-arm-alt-right SPLC, and http://www.newsday.com/opinion/columnists/cathy-young/donald-trump-s-rant-against-political-correctness-is-comfort-food-to-racists-1.11391400 Newsday. &mdash
