Debra Bartoshevich[edit]

Individuals only notable in the context of a single event should not have separate articles, per WP:BLP1E; her participation in McCain's campaign probably qualifies as a single event. Recommend merge and redirect to Democratic and liberal support for John McCain in 2008. — Swpb^{τ • c} 20:17, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This article documents the extremely aggressive approach taken by the McCain campaign to recruit Bartoshevich. Her sister was hired by the McCain campaign. A man from the campaign phoned her within minutes after Clinton's concession to have a long, sympathetic conversation. She gave different stories about how her name got onto a public list of Democrats for McCain but was crystal clear that the McCain team notified the press about its presence there. This is a story that should not be disappeared from Wikipedia under the misleading title of "Democratic and liberal support..." How about "McCain team efforts to recruit Democrat and liberal support"? Or maybe "Democrats and liberals who declared support for McCain"? betsythedevine (talk) 22:59, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Bartoshevich was a Democrat supporting McCain. There is nothing misleading about that statement, and content merged to that article will not disappear from Wikipedia. The title of that article is probably outside the scope of this discussion. The policy is clear, though, that for living people whose notability stems entirely from one event, we should focus on covering the event, not the person. — Swpb^{τ • c} 17:39, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Merge. Article is entirely about a minor facet of the 2008 U.S. Presidential campaign, so should go in one of the many 2008-campaign articles. --Delirium (talk) 22:58, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
