• ... that Kid Rock brokered the dinner meeting between Bill Maher and Donald Trump that Larry David satirized in "My Dinner with Adolf"?

• Source: Maher informed listeners that the musician—and recent Real Time and Club Random guest—Kid Rock invited him to meet the president. “Kid Rock was here a couple of weeks ago, and he said, ‘I want you to meet Trump,'” Maher explained. “He said, ‘I’m gonna take you to the White House.’ So now we’re gonna do that.” and I also understood Larry’s intent in writing this piece. We had spoken about American politics and how some on the left and in the center think it’s important to talk and engage with President Trump. Like many people, Larry listened to Bill Maher talk about his recent dinner with Trump; Bill, a comedian Larry respects, said in a monologue on his Max show that he found the president to be “gracious and measured” compared with the man who attacks him on Truth Social. Larry’s piece is not equating Trump with Hitler. It is about seeing people for who they really are and not losing sight of that.

• Article is new enough, copyvio detector show 30% but that's just because of a few attributed quotes so that's ok. Qpq is done. The images are fine. The hook is interesting, but I suggest to simplify it a bit:

ALT1: ... that the dinner between Bill Maher and Donald Trump was satirized in "My Dinner with Adolf"?

I'll approve the ALT version, pls ping me if you disagree or have other hook proposals. Artem.G (talk) 15:05, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Notability?

It's only been days since the piece was published. I can see this being merged into the Larry David page. Bremps... 17:02, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think the sources cited in the article easily satisfy WP:GNG.  Bait30  ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 18:31, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Wiki rules say this website is not a newspaper. We do not need to cover every single thing that happens. "My Dinner with Adolf" is just another article. It's not worth its own page. MagicatthemovieS (talk) 10:59, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there is coverage contributing to notability past late April. Bremps... 00:23, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree as there is zero sustained coverage. As previously mentioned, the article was created days after the piece was published which was certainly too soon. – AllCatsAreGrey ^(talk) 06:47, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There was enough coverage upon publication to ensure its notoriety as satire. No Swan So Fine (talk) 13:35, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, if no one objects, I propose removing the merge tags on both pages. IMO, they can remain stand alone. Thank you m a MANÍ^{1990(talk | contribs)} 17:47, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

David Lloyd George

The David Lloyd George essay is out of the scope of this article. There are no sources that compare David's essay to that of George. To make a comparison in this article would go against WP:SYNTH.  Bait30  ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 22:56, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
