Kanye West 2020 presidential campaign
- ... that Kanye West announced his 2020 presidential campaign on Twitter? Source: https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/9413556/kanye-west-presidential-run-2020
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Børge Ring
- Comment: Currently being expanded but already meets the minimum length; very much a collaboration by multiple editors so I suggest checking the history when this is closer to the main page to determine authorship credits

@DannyS712: @Amariokart: @Nice4What: Date and length fine as is the Billboard source in the lead. No close paraphrasing aside of quotes and QPQ done. However this is currently undergoing a AFD so this nomination cannot proceed until that is complete and it is looking unlikely at the moment. If the AFD is closed as keep, this can move forward. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 06:26, 5 July 2020 (UTC)- @DannyS712 and The C of E: Could I propose an alternative blurb considering the recent developments in his campaign?

- ALT1: ... that Kanye West's advisors for his 2020 presidential campaign are his wife Kim Kardashian and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk?
- ALT2: ... that Kanye West is running under the "Birthday Party" for his 2020 presidential campaign, because "when we win, it's everybody's birthday"?
- Got no response but want to put out these proposals anyways. Making announcements via Twitter is no longer unusual in this Trump era. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Thanks ♥) 16:07, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
- Update: @The C of E: AfD closed and the article was kept, so this can move forward. There are probably better hooks, and the credits definitely should be updated to reflect the bigger contributors --DannyS712 (talk) 10:29, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
Good then. Well with the new ones, I think ALT2 is the most quirky so I'd go for that one to be promoted. Good to go, rest of review as above. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 12:12, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
