Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stephen Colbert at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner (2nd nomination)
possibly '''Snowball'''. Even after reading his arguments, I'm not entirely sure what the nominator's point is. On one hand he claims that arguments that it is important is original research, even there are over 70 sources that prove it received substantial, non-trivial coverage from mainstream reliable sources. As one user pointed out, it was even named one of New York Magazine's most important events of the year. Apparently it had some lasting effect, then. He also cites okemon as a counter-argument to the fact that this article was a front-page candidate, neglecting the fact that the deletion of other front-page pokemon candidates were part of a sweeping policy change for Wikipedia. it also seems clear that the nominator didn't even READ okemon, as even the header of the page (which is an essay BTW, not an actual policy) says ''"This page in a nutshell: The Pokémon test is moot, now that almost all the individual characters have been merged into a list of Pokémon. This essay describes the historical context of this test."''. Besides, the speech itself was released as an audiobook on iTunes and was the best-seller for months, if not years after release. Surely THAT would suggest it is notable, no? The nominator's arguments for deletion are asinine and completely missing the point
