Talk:2010 United States Senate Democratic primary election in Pennsylvania

Weird
Isn't that weird to want to preserve the article history when it's only edited by one person and has no edit summaries? One might as well put the content out there as intended, a finished article, because I can't imagining anyone bothering to look at the article history, in a review or outside of it.

 * I was mostly concerned about keeping material that might be needed down the road. For example, I had an entire "Issues" section that I cut from the article, but if we ever needed it back I could go in and grab it. —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  16:01, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay. I see some references (for example "Dems here back Sestak for Senate" and "2 Specter foes team up for meeting on health care") that have no weblink/no retrieve date but the rest of the citation. If they are from print media the page should be included, if possible. Regards Hekerui (talk) 16:06, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * In most of those cases, I got the article/info from a Lexis Nexis search because the weblink was no longer available. I included links where possible. But you're right, I left off the pages, so I'll go back to Lexis when I can get access to it again (which should be within two days or so) and find/readd the pages to the citations. —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  19:18, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keeping article history is how we do things on Wikipedia. Sometimes it is very important, sometimes not, but always the right way to do things. --DThomsen8 (talk) 16:06, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Purpose
Should this be merged with its parent article? Why is this a separate fork? Don't get me wrong: This is a great article; it's well written and very interesting. It just seems like too small a topic for Wikipedia. —Markles 19:06, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * There was some discussion at the United States Senate election in Pennsylvania, 2010 talk page that that article was too focused on the Sestak/Specter campaign, and should be reworked for focus more strongly on the general election. My own feeling was that the Specter/Sestak primary was in many ways more interesting and notable than the general election, for multiple reasons including Specter's loss after 30 years, Sestak's come-from-behind victory, allegations of Sestak's job offer in the Obama administration, etc. etc. I asked on that talk page whether it might be prudent to create a separate article for the primary election, which would both allow a strong focus on that race and prevent the general article from being too primary-focused. There was some agreement voiced to that idea, and no disagreement, so I started working on it. This is the end result, and I'd argue the large amount of reliable sources (and extensive media coverage) used indicates that the primary election is notable enough in itself for a separate page altogether. Plus WP:SIZE indicates that when a page gets too long it might be prudent to break them into separate pages, and I think to combine this Democratic primary page with the general page would make that article way too long. —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  19:14, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Regarding the recently added size tag, this article is longer than the general article, yes, but that's because the general article needs expansion (which I'm working on), not because of problems here. This article is long because it's comprehensive. I see that tag was added but there were no comments made here on the talk page about any particular sections that were overlong or parts that need to be cut. If no such discussion takes place in the next few days I will likely remove that tag. (I also don't think there's ANY legitimacy to the claim that it reads like a personal essay.) —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  20:09, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
 * There is NO reason why this page should be merged back into the parent article. It has alot of info, and deserves its own article. Not to mention, it is pretty historical, considering career politician Arlen Specter was upset in the primary. Very rarely do Democrat incumbents ever lose primary elections. Also, Specter was supported by almost every single major Democratic figure. Again, having a seperate article is no brainer.--Jerzeykydd (talk) 00:42, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
