Trump speech

She is not apparently the sole writer. According to Haberman, Maggie (19 July 2016). "How Melania Trump's Speech Veered Off Course and Caused an Uproar". New York Times. Retrieved 20 July 2016., Scully and John McConnell wrote it and Trump rewrote most of it. Toddst1 (talk) 17:22, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Toddst1 - I clarified the wording, added a ref, and removed your tags. Brianga (talk) 17:24, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

Speedy deletion due to "No indication of importance"? Come on, she helped Trump write multiple books and her name is appearing in headlines around the world right now. AfD would be more appropriate for a real deletion discussion, but speedy deletion does not seem justifiable. ----Another Believer _(Talk) 18:03, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Update: By the time I wrote the above comment, another user removed the tag. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:03, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I deleted it; the article makes claims of notability so the CSD was improper. An AFD would also be silly at this point, but can't stop it in circuses like this, most likely.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 18:05, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I, too, think AfD would be a waste of time. But certainly CSD was inappropriate, so thanks for deleting the tag. --Another Believer _(Talk) 18:07, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@GoldenSHK: I deleted this edit because the displayed banner did not link to a discussion about this article, so I don't think the nomination was executed properly. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:15, 20 July 2016 (UTC) If you guys disagree I respect that, all I was saying is that she is a ghost writer for Donald Trump which in itself is not that notable and the only reason she has a page now is that she was trending due to "sppechgate." As evidenced, she only started having a page this week. If she had one for awhile before this issue, I wouldn't really feel the need to think about it.

Image

I think this is an image of McIver at Commons. Should it be included? --Another Believer _(Talk) 18:12, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
