Delete. Non-notable neologism. --Mass147 (talk) 08:05, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Redirect to Barack Obama presidential campaign, 2008. The use of terms like "Obamania" and "Obamamania" are unquestionably notable, but in the end they are all just cute neologisms to refer to the furore surrounding his campaign. A redirect is more than sufficient. Arkyan 19:02, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Redirect per Arkyan. I agree that a redirect is adequate. WilliamH (talk) 00:01, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. The article obviously needs a lot of work, but it easily meets any notability requirements. Redirecting to Barack Obama presidential campaign, 2008, while a noble suggestion, has some practical problems. My guess would be that any attempt to incorporate the term "Obamania" in the text of that article would be immediately deleted by editors. Also, I don't feel that "Obamania" directly translates to Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, as one could argue that it occurred before, during, and possibly after the campaign ends. It seems to me to refer more directly to Obama than to the 2008 presidential race itself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.176.231.129 (talk) 03:27, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Redirect - this is not notable enough to have it's own article. --Chetblong (talk) 03:37, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
