coverage on the matter, and people are only drawn to it because of its salacious nature. It fails notability and is just salacious tabloid clickbait. There are also no good sources which identify him by name. Merging makes no sense because of the lack of reliable sources, and it would just be edited out of the other article since his identity cannot be confirmed with reputable sources. All of the sources currently discussing this are borderline for inclusion anyway.
247:). This story is quite salacious, and so naturally it was picked up by major media outlets and produced enough copy to create a Wiki article. But, the actual impact of this is minimal, presumably leading to nothing but the staffer's unemployment. All sources in the article are dated December 15-20 and there is no further coverage of this, so I question how "in-depth" the coverage really is, beyond noting what was filmed and that the staffer lost his job.
383:, I agree that its probably much slighter than other incidents mentioned. In any case, that article is supposedly about scandals involving elected and/or senatorially confirmed individuals; this incident does not qualify. Going through the list, I see only once such list item from 2005, involving a regular participant in the White House press pool, which seems to me distinguishable.
379:. I also want to note the multiple and varied BLP concerns raised by myself and several other editors on the talk page. I think its a testament to the lack of notability of the article topic that the staffer concerned arguably qualifies as a low-profile individual by every single criterion. While I hadn't considered the idea of folding it into the

or even more slight than that; in short, nothing that demonstrates this had any significant fallout versus the sex scandals we do cover, which sway races, prompt resignations of elected officials (versus just an aide or staffer.)
433:. It's not news anymore, people involved are low profile (as far as anyone can be sure, no one has admitted being in the video or been definitively identified, I believe), if anything it's just a salacious news story.

The article's status as an orphan also shows the lack of notability, as there aren't articles that link here, though I suppose it could be added to the see also link.

Scratched the orphan remark. I neglected to notice the page moves that meant no articles were directly linked to the current title, but rather to the redirects. –
