~~No reason for this page to be independent of Alan Keyes, recommend merge. UnrepentantTaco (talk) 18:03, 5 June 2013 (UTC)~~ [Edit reverted as per WP:BE and [1]. Unscintillating (talk) 03:08, 24 June 2013 (UTC)][reply]

Comment I have created the redirect to the appropriate section in the main Alan Keyes page, assuming no objections this debate can be closed. UnrepentantTaco (talk) 14:45, 14 June 2013 (UTC) [Edit reverted as per WP:BE and [2]. Unscintillating (talk) 03:08, 24 June 2013 (UTC)][reply]

It's best if you don't redirect articles in the middle of an AfD. The discussion may decide that a redirect is the best outcome, but until the discussion is closed redirection is preempting the outcome. Hut 8.5 17:54, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep subject matter is notable and reliably sourced, too lengthy to merge with Alan Keyes article.--Cjv110ma (talk) 03:52, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Per NOTDIRECTORY. This is more or less political fancruft which has the effect of forking the main article. If the exact percentages of this race or that are truly significant, merge them into Alan Keyes. Carrite (talk) 04:18, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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

Keep - Really? Why are we here? This is yet another miss-nomination from an editor who clearly fails to understand guidelines based on dozens of recently contested AfD nominations. This article clearly meets WP:GNG as there are plenty of WP:RS to support the content. Also, the article length would take away from the Alan Keyes article and as such should be independent. If there is ever a case for WP:OTHERSTUFF, this would be one of them. Take a look at the examples here. If it were not for the single delete !vote, this would qualify for Speedy Keep based on criterion #1. AfD is for deletion discussion, not a merger discussion. --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 00:15, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
