I think it is als worth mentioning that trump is written in modern German as "Trumpf". So it is basically just a translation. Which has a long history in Americanizing immigrants. e.g. many Müllers changed their names to Miller. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.191.251.109 (talk) 17:10, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The episodes creators, HBO, are showing a different "title" when they list the segment. They are now calling it "Drumpf the Donald" [1]. So shouldn't we change the title to reflect the title given by the show? (That was the consensus achieved in naming process for this page). Otherwise the common name should be adopted, simply "Drumpf". Mascot of Donald Trump might be a good title, too.
"Here's what we did on our piece, if you didn't seen it. We were trying to seperate the kind of 'Mascot of Donal Trump' from the Man" - John Oliver[2]
The page is about the HBO video clip that is listed on YouTube. The clip was originally called Donald Trump, therefore this page will always be called that name. --Frmorrison (talk) 15:34, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That makes no sense, it should use the WP:UCN for the segment, if the segment has been renamed (as is stated above), and it becomes/became more common, then the title of hte article hsould change -- 65.94.171.217 (talk) 04:01, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Another Believer: I have no idea. I think a quick overview of these episodes would be great, but if we want to go deeper into Oliver's episodes about Trump (which seem to be numerous), this should be moved into a new article about Donald Trump segments. epicgenius - (talk) 00:02, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, or, there could be separate articles for those specific segments? Perhaps they don't have as much coverage as this segment to justify standalone articles. Wikipedia often has separate articles for individual episodes of television series, but this is a bit different. Maybe there are some SNL-related articles about characters or repeating sketches? If this article is going to be kept and expanded to include subsequent segments, then it will require a bit of an overhaul. Currently, the article mentions subsequent segments as an "aftermath" of the Drumpf segment. ---Another Believer(Talk)00:07, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Another Believer: Nice work. We may need to polish this up a bit, but now I guess we can bring this to Featured status. Although, with Trump as president-elect, getting this to TFA may get a lot harder. epicgenius (talk) 05:30, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I know. ;) Except in real life, I don't know if Trump is going to see this. If he does, he's probably going to say something along the lines of "Wikipedia is rigged" or else sue Wikipedia. (Only kidding.) If it's TFA, that means that this episode will be on the front page of Wikipedia for a whole day, and since this is politically charged, we probably don't want Wikipedia to be accused of being anti-Trump. Or maybe John Oliver does want that... epicgenius (talk) 14:18, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for nominating the article for featured status. Had hoped to co-nom, but I'm glad to see this moving forward either way, since I've working on several other projects at the moment, too. Thanks to all who have assisted along the way! ---Another Believer(Talk)22:23, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As this is undergoing a Featured Article Review, I'd like to have some feedback on whether this hidden sentence belongs in the article. It is located at the last sentence of the "Make Donald Drumpf Again" section's first paragraph, and is sourced to The Boston Globe.
In a 2015 Boston Globe article about the impact of the "Drumpf" name, brand-naming expert Nancy Friedman explained, "That ‘pf’ combination is tough for English speakers and ‘dr’ doesn’t have the same effect on the ear as ‘tr’", resulting in a name that was "almost-comical in English".
I'm aware of that. The series is satirical, but just not exclusively political, so for that reason, I don't feel the need to make "American political satire" cover allLast Week Tonight episodes. epicgenius (talk) 02:17, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
