The result was DELETE, with 4 Deletes (incl. nom.), 1 Weak Keep/Merge and 1 Merge, we tend toward delete. There's no article to merge to. Should one be created to make a merge place for this article? I don't think so. There are scores of hundreds of congressional candidates every two years. Herostratus 18:36, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Linnea Noreen

As with other candidates, bringing this to AfD for a concensus. Article is about a candidate for office. Until she wins, she would be non-notable, not other claims to notority Wildthing61476 19:35, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I added Noreen, because I noticed information about Darcy Burner (also a non-notable by the above definition) was added for the Eight District election, and I figured informing the electorate is an important function for these entries.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Annabrinkmann (talk • contribs)

• Delete No, generally the purpose of these entries is to advertise/promote the candidates. Darcy Burner doesn't look like she belongs either. Fan-1967 20:10, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment I have added Darcy Burner as an AfD as well. I agree, she does not have any notority outside of running for public office. Wildthing61476 20:14, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as per nom -- Whpq 22:14, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep because some sources are cited and I think the article has notability. At least Merge with an article on the election under the Elections first, then individual candidates guidelines. Allisonmontgomery69 22:30, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per Allisonmontgomery69. -- Mwalcoff 23:46, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
• Week Keep If you can get it to read less like a political ad, otherwise delete. --Cheesehead 1980 13:39, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
