Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories (2nd nomination)
I don't think the relevant issues have materially changed since the last AfD.  Even leaving aside the basic rule that |Notability is not temporary, the fringe still hangs out there. Maintaining this separate article remains by far the best way to deal with the subject on Wikipedia.  Even if the issue isn't getting continuing play in the media, this article performs a genuine public service for Wikipedia to maintain an unbiased article carefully itemizing the allegations and their refutations, and it provides a place to redirect (and then delete where appropriate) material that would otherwise keep mucking up other Obama articles. Delete this and we have to spend a ton of energy keeping this sludge out of other articles for the next 8 years or more.  Not to mention, it is really a pretty good article, all things considered given the difficulties inherent in its subject matter.  I don't think it's overly long (but if it is, the answer is to compact some of the details, not to delete it) nor do I find it to be "pandering to the tinfoilers"; instead it provides an encyclopedic and authoritative treatment of a bizarre but real phenomenon
