Talk:2010 United States House of Representatives elections in Virginia

Merge 1st District election article
I suggest we merge Virginia's 1st congressional district election, 2010 into this article, as it only has a paragraph about the Republican primary. It's not expected to be a highly contested election, so I don't see why it should have its own (small) article. If things change, we can always split it out again but right now it hasn't even been updated post-primary to mention Ball is now the nominee. Flatterworld (talk) 20:09, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I've done the merge, but am leaving the articles separate awaiting other input. Flatterworld (talk) 15:25, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Still no input, so I redirected the article. Flatterworld (talk) 16:42, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Merge 5th, 8th and 11th articles
I don't see the point in having these as separate articles. Photos can be added to this main article. The rest appears to be not much more that a repetition of the material in theis article and the district articles - minus the 'third party' candidates which is quite problematical. I've now added all the third party candidate to this article using the official Virginia government list. It's hard enough to keep these main articles updated, without having to run around and update a bunch of separate articles as well. Having an article which is incomplete in such an important area as the actual candidates isn't helpful, imo. Flatterworld (talk) 16:49, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Support merge. Location (talk) 21:08, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose merge. Covering eleven elections with primary results general results, polling, and narrative description on one page would make for an overly long article. -LtNOWIS (talk) 10:42, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Note: The discuss link on Krystal Ball's page said this was a discussion on merging MS. Ball's article with the first district article, not merging all the districts together. 96.228.59.55 (talk) 22:01, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose merge. I opose Merging the districts together. 96.228.59.55 (talk) 22:01, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose merge Racepacket (talk) 09:39, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose merge I've included enough information to make this worthy of an it's own article. ~BLM (talk) 17:55, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose merge There is enough information in these articles to warrant separate ones. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 14:50, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Merge Krystal Ball Article with 1st District

 * Support merge. Krystal Ball is no more notable than Floyd Bayne which has been merged with 7th District Race article and Rick Waugh pending deletion and Mr. Bayne at least is more notable than Waugh and Ball combined. 96.228.59.55 (talk) 21:56, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd lean towards oppose merge. I'd say that Ball is more notable than the average "no chance of victory" House candidate, because she got some media attention for the photo controversy. Much of that coverage was more about female candidates and social media than about the election itself. -LtNOWIS (talk) 07:39, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * In other words, I'd say she meets WP:POLITICIAN under the third criteria, because the coverage of her controversial photos was essentially independent of her race to unseat Wittman. -LtNOWIS (talk) 17:47, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose, as above. Quite notable. Jack Merridew 00:28, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
