Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bill Ayers election controversy
The matter of Obama's past association with Ayers has been a campaign issue and is likely to continue to be, if only as background rumblings.  I may personally think that it's a prime example of a guilt-by-association smear, but it's a guilt-by-association smear that has been covered in reliable sources and as such deserves to be given encyclopedic treatment.  I suggest that active editors review #Criticism and praise, in particular the bits about balance and structure; the article could perhaps be reorganized to give more weight to the views of experts familiar with the Ayerses in Chicago.  But that's not an argument for deletion.  (Incidentally, I agree that the current title is awful and should be changed
