Can anyone find any news stories carrying this? It's also on the same day as this rally. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:252:D46:350:1DA0:CA59:403F:2D24 ( talk) 20:20, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. ( non-admin closure) TonyBallioni ( talk) 04:54, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
Mother of All Rallies → Mother Of All Rallies – lowercase O does not make sense, M.o.A.R. or M.A.R. not used. ScratchMarshall ( talk) 00:34, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

Is https://patch.com/district-columbia/washingtondc/pro-trump-rally-ridiculed-after-bad-turnout an appropriate source? --- Another Believer ( Talk) 16:45, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
Given that just a few hundred people turned up, and the "rally" was dwarfed by a gathering of Insane Clown Posse fans, I would seriously question the long-term encyclopedic notability of this (non) event. I should know, having earlier in my Wikipedia career been on the wrong end of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2015 London general election protest and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2015 Reclaim Brixton protest.

Even its Facebook page has #MOAR. Reliable sources use MOAR, not M.O.A.R. [1] Doug Weller talk 08:28, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
I reverted this [ [2]] for a number of reasons:
-The lead paragraph was not NPOV anymore -Too many different changes all in one edit- I would suggest that editor make different changes in different edits. -Some nicely sourced material was removed -It added in facebook, twitter and instigram links -It was listed as a minor edit, which it obviously was not
to name a few.
I am not saying all the changes were bad or wrong... just too many different ones, with some problematic ones, all in one edit. TantraYum ( talk) 06:11, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
