Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Edwards paternity allegations
although at this point, when the allegation itself has shaky sourcing to the National Enquirer (and only sourcing of part of the allegation to Fox News), the focus should be on the overall media coverage, with the allegation as background (and therefore worth giving fewer details per ). But the shape of the article is not an AfD decision: AfD is about whether there is a subject we can know is worth an article. There is just no way that the subject of the tortured, complex media coverage of this allegation is not a worthwhile subject for this encyclopedia. I'm not just talking about the NE and Fox coverage, but even the coverage of decisions by news organizations not to cover the allegations. There are plenty of sources that have discussed these decisions. Note the long section on media coverage at John McCain lobbyist controversy, February 2008. That section is encyclopedicly useful to readers interested in the media coverage of this issue. Above (timestamp 19:29), User:Livitup used the "Donna Rice affair" section of the Gary Hart article to see how we cover that. He found information worth considering in thinking about the media coverage here. In other words, Livitup used the encyclopedia as an encyclopedia and that editor could do so because we covered the subject as an encyclopedia of our size should. This is what we do
