Editgate, as a topic, has not received enough coverage in reliable sources for a stand alone article per WP:GNG. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 12:53, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Coverage at Shooting of Trayvon Martin#Misleading audio editing by NBC is sufficient. The term doesn't really show any promise of WP:PERSISTENCE, but there's no reason we can't add a sentence at that section to say that some media outlets have labelled the incident "Editgate." --BDD (talk) 17:00, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Pure soapboxing. The article offers no evidence that any reliable source has actually used the term "editgate", and I could not find any reliable source use of the term on searching; it crops up only on a few blogs and POV sites.[1] Furthermore, the article claims "various errors" but cites only one. That one did receive mainstream coverage, but not under this name, and this has not risen to the level of a "fill-in-blank-gate" scandal. As pointed out by BDD, there is already a whole section on this incident at the George Zimmerman article; that is plenty. --MelanieN (talk) 21:24, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
