This article covers mostly media speculation about which judges might be appointed by Hillary Clinton if she became President. She did not herself communicate on this issue during her campaign and she wasn't elected, so there is nothing to report. The whole article is WP:CRYSTAL and has no chance to be expanded. — JFG ^talk 12:30, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete or Move to Russian Language Wikipedia. And darn, I was on her short list according to my tea leaves and other reliable pollsters. Randy Kryn 12:54, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, 2016#Platform and add a line or two there about the statements that she made about the kind of Supreme Court candidates she would like to appoint. There are some sources in the article to that effect, which can be incorporated. bd2412 T 13:40, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. What about doing so to Planned presidential transition of Hillary Clinton instead? Gabe Iglesia (talk) 15:40, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• No. This is a misunderstanding of the scope of a United States presidential transition, which involves Executive Branch appointments; not Judicial appointments.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:03, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• • • I'm not seeing how it is an either/or situation. The Supreme Court candidates are unrelated to a planned transition. bd2412 T 00:51, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge / redirect to Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, 2016 There's lots of speculation here, but not enough to merit a standalone article. Trim significantly and merge the relevant and encyclopedic details to Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, 2016. Alansohn (talk) 16:35, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge – As nominator, I'm fine with merging whatever can be salvaged into Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, 2016. — JFG ^talk 18:57, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and Merge into Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, 2016. No redirect necessary. TROUT whoever created this POV fork. That first AFD is a shining example of the way campaign enthusiasms can overwhelm process in the heat of political campaigns at poorly attended AFDs.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:01, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • If any material is merged, the redirect will also maintain the edit history behind that material. As for the article itself, these were simultaneously created for both candidates in response to a unique historical situation. For the winning candidate, this turned out to be a very good idea. bd2412 T 12:12, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, 2016 per WP:PAGEDECIDE; it is the best place to host this information. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 01:34, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
