List fork composed of speculative information that seems better handled in John McCain presidential campaign, 2008. -- Suntag (talk) 06:02, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

• Merge into John McCain presidential campaign, 2008. I was expecting a much larger article when I clicked on it. The campaign articles are already mammoth, so if there aren't a lot more content forks to ease the page size, this isn't necessary. Given its small size, it probably wouldn't be anyway.

• Delete not worth merging. People get sued everyday without being notable. Notable people get sued everyday without the individual case being notable. article is POV in its very essense. I've removed 2 items that don't fit the "legal actions" reason for inclusion and have formatted the references for what is left. I don't believe p2pnet is a particularly reliable source for verifiability.Jasynnash2 (talk) 11:47, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - lack of claimed notability --T-rex 13:26, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Like Nosleep, I was expecting more of an article than this. Three musical performers (Jackson Browne, Heart, Frankie Valli) have asked the McCain campaign to not sue their songs anymore. Note to author: A "cease and desist" letter is not the filing of a legal action. Mandsford (talk) 13:31, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - for the reasons cited above. The three cease and desist orders are nothing. What's next: parking citations? Besides, a little-watched fork like this is more prone to pro- or anti-McCain POV mischief than a bigger article on many watchlists. --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:47, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per everyone above. Nothing outstandingly notable about any of the lawsuits. User:MrMarkTaylor ^{What's that?/What I Do/Feed My Box} 16:48, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Trivial. If you want to help Obama get out and volunteer for his campaign. :-) Borock (talk) 18:31, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
• Delete No indication of notability, not enough here to even be worth merging. Edward321 (talk) 22:22, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Sources are 404 errors, and these are more 'please use another song' requests more than demands that they will sue the campaign into oblivion if they keep using them. Nate • (chatter) 23:24, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
• Merge into John McCain presidential campaign, 2008, as suggested above, though mentioning that they're mere COD orders, not lawsuits. Also, the 404s were due to someone (likely the original author) adding "|", between the URL and the description, which is a no-no in Wiki linking rules. -- azumanga (talk) 02:30, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
