Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Teleprompter usage by Barack Obama
per . And I would love to see the closing admin, if s/he deletes this, make a strong statement about why this kind of article is not appropriate for Wikipedia. Barack Obama is a very important person, of course, but we are not going to have articles about every aspect of his life and presidency that has been discussed in the media. This article&mdash;though it relates to an issue that has caused some to criticize Obama&mdash;is the equivalent of an article like Basketball playing by Barack Obama or Book reading by Barack Obama. Literally everything this guy does will be reported extensively for the next few years&mdash;we could easily develop an article about his eating habits as someone suggests above, but this is an encyclopedia so we ought not do that. Instead content like this would probably fit in an article like Presidency of Barack Obama. I'm not sure this story is notable enough at this point, but eventually the article on Obama's presidency should have (it doesn't now) a section on the administration's communication strategies. Probably something about the teleprompter situation could be mentioned there if this continues to be an issue in the months ahead. But it will never warrant an article, and it would be good if we sent a message with this AfD that these kind of articles&mdash;whether they are about Obama or any other person who receives obsessive press coverage&mdash;violate the policy that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information
