Content was added that indicated POTUS Trump "...is using the State of the Union address to bilk his supporters into donating to his 2020 reelection campaign." This article is from the website HillReporter.com which is said by many to be somewhat partisan (left-leaning) and not terribly reliable. The content was reverted twice and re-added a 3rd time after which I reverted one last time and requested the OP bring the topic here for discussion which I am initiating now. IMO, this content does not meet WP:RELIABLE and if false, it can certainly be considered slanderous. Conversely, if true, I'm not convinced that this article (2019 SOTU) is its proper home provided it belongs on WP in the first place. I also believe this content may violate other key WP polices as well. Please share your thoughts. airuditious ( talk) 04:50, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
Content has been added mentioning the Trump campaign using the SOTU for fundraising purposes specifically with how donor names were displayed along the bottom of Trump's Facebook page during the SOTU broadcast. Fundraising at any point during a re-election campaign is not particularly noteworthy be it in the lead-up to the SOTU or at any other point during a campaign. In fact, the only thing notable about fundraising in our time might be how new techniques and\or media are used to accomplish the goal - for example with what Obama did in 2008. However, nothing Trump did in connection with this SOTU is new or noteworthy and even if it were, I struggle to see how it belongs on the SOTU article page. Furthermore, I did check other SOTU Wikipedia articles and none that I surveyed contain any reference to fundraising of any kind. Those articles appear to be constrained to the event itself and then how remarks made by the POTUS relate to matters of the Country and World. Therefore, I am inclined to remove this content but I think it is worth a discussion prior to doing so. Thanks. airuditious ( talk) 06:40, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
