The result was redirect to United States presidential election, 2016#Debates. No objections to anyone reverting the redirect once more info & sources pop up (non-admin closure) –Davey2010^Talk 18:26, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

this is way too soon to have its own article. we should not create it until at least just before the first debate (unless the decision process becomes particularly newsworth). redirect to CPD and put a small note there for this info. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:36, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to United States presidential election, 2016#Debates until actual details are mentioned; everything here is the same as it is in the main article. Nate • (chatter) 04:17, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep If there had been no information available about these debates, I would have opted to redirect, but since the process has actually started (i.e. venue selection), there is material available on the topic, so it doesn't violate WP:CRYSTAL. Number 57 13:00, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect per Nate, for the time being. Restore to article form when more information/content becomes available. Until then, no need to duplicate content.--JayJasper (talk) 20:46, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Per Number 57's point. Gage (talk) 13:28, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect per WP:Duplicate article. At the present time, it is a mere duplicate of United States presidential election, 2016#Debates, so a standalone page is clearly redundant at this point. As Nate and JayJasper have pointed out, the article can be re-started when there is more information and the content expands beyond what could be reasonably be contained in the aforementioned section. Seems like a no-brainer, really.--NextUSprez (talk) 15:53, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect Indeed, quite a no-brainer that the article is an unnecessary duplicate of the main article until the debates actually happen. Reywas92^Talk 02:01, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect for now, until more information is available. Egsan Bacon (talk) 19:23, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
