Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Invitation to the Inauguration of Barack Obama
as completely unencyclopedic trivia.  The author seems to be a very experienced editor, and has created a pretty good looking and well sourced article, but he should know better.  The fact that there are sources does not make it notable, as you need to consider the topic's lasting historical significance and impact, which differentiates us from the passing interests of the news media (see also #NEWS or the essay NEWS).  This article does not prove, or really even assert, the significance of the document. I don't see how it is anything more than a souvenir. The sources are tabloids, local news or human interest type stories about the making of the invitation, but that doesn't make it a good topic for an encyclopedia.  What's more, you can see how the article has been "padded" to disguise the lack of real substance.  The ''Recipients'' section for instance is only obliquely related to the invitation itself, and is more appropriately covered in the main article for the Inauguration. The controversy over Rick Warren is a political matter completely unrelated to this piece of paper.  Making note of which celebrities received invitations is just tabloid sensationalism.   Lastly, we should also consider whether celebrity worship of American politicians is appropriate for an international project
