Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer
A ''much'' briefer acknowledgement of this in the relevant and appropriate articles (i.e. Ted Cruz presidential campaign, 2016) would be fine — but by the same token whereby we don't and rightly shouldn't maintain a separate article about every individual pejorative nickname that one candidate coins to attack another one with, this isn't a thing that should have a full-on article in its own right as a ''standalone'' topic. Our role on Wikipedia is not to obsessively document every last bit of cultural flotsam that happens to float into view for a week or two — it's to apply some semblance of the |will people still care about this in ten years? test, and I don't see how this passes that. For a comparable example, Evil reptilian kitten-eater from another planet once had a standalone article too — but as our notability standards tightened up, it eventually (and correctly) got cut down and converted into a redirect to, and ''much'' shorter subsection of, the article about the election campaign to which it was relevant, on the grounds that even if it was |newsy at the time it happened, it wasn't a suitable topic for a permanent standalone article as a separate topic
