Talk:2014 Florida gubernatorial election

Source Expiration
Can we agree on how long a link indicating someone is a potential challenger is relevant? I know the article for the presidential election caps it at six months, and I would like to ask for a consensus for the same period of time for this article as well, if there isn't one already, so that linked articles are not out of date. --Vinnyvinny2 (talk) 22:39, 22 March 2013 (UTC)


 * If anyone would like to disagree with my decision, they are more than welcome to do so. Until then, I will now remove all expired sources at least six months old. I have failed to find more recent sources for Kendrick Meek, Jimmy Morales, and Jeremy Ring, so will remove them as prospective candidates as well. --Vinnyvinny2 (talk) 21:28, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

New polling
New (Nov.) Quinnipiac poll. — DavidNYC (talk) 17:11, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

There's now (Dec.) a Rick Scott internal. Does that get included? DavidNYC (talk) 20:57, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
 * In races where there's little public polling, I have no problem with including internal polls, as long as they're clearly marked as such. However, in races such as this, where there's a huge number of public polls, I would argue against their inclusion. Tiller54 (talk) 12:31, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Statement on Scott's vulnerability
An anonymous IP keeps on removing the statement that Scott is vulnerable due to low approval ratings. Is this statement still accurate considering his improvement in the polls? FirstDrop87 (talk) 22:11, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Polling in Infobox
I believe the latest 3 or 4 polls should be included in the Infobox. The infobox template is designed to include polls and due to the length of this article, I think it makes sense to include it. The casual reader is going to struggle to find the general election information in this article and I have yet to discover how to cut down the page while retaining the information. Unless there are strong objections I'm going to add it back within a few days to ensure all the page watcher's can comment. FirstDrop87 (talk) 01:18, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
