United States House of Representatives elections, 2008 - notable races[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Delete - all US House of Representatives elections are notable per the general notability guidelines. These articles take an editor-formulated concept (an election is notable if the seat changed party hands and/or was considered "competitive" by someone and/or "became competitive" according to someone) as its premise, which is original research. These elections are already covered in other articles and there need not be endless articles on every possible permutation on how to divide up the set. PROD removed by article creator.

Delete Redundant to the main article. A much simpler approach would be to put an asterisk next to each seat that switched parties, in the article that already covers all of these elections: United States House of Representatives elections, 2008. First Light (talk) 14:29, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete AYTCOP says it best-- all U.S. House of Representatives races are notable, and it's purely a matter of opinion when it comes to which ones are "more notable", another way of saying "interesting". Mandsford 21:03, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete House members from states all have the same powers given to them by election, the rest is at the discretion of the House as a whole, so no election is per se more important than another and the articles and their titles are necessarily reliant on opinion.
