Talk:Eliot Cutler

Reopened as redirect
I nominated this article for deletion, as shown above, but believe that due to this search term being potentially popular, I reopened it as a redirect for the sole purpose of letting people know the one thing he was recognized for: His performance in the Maine gubernatorial election, 2010, where this now redirects to.

 * Which doesn't quite work. He was a significant candidate in 2014 election too.  I understand his votes received as independent were bigger than the difference between Dem and Repub candidates both times.  He needs to be linked from both election articles, and he is linked from other articles already (e.g. an article about spoiling, see "what links here").  It's better, simpler, to have this article.
 * This article is now under discussion at deletion review and at a new, second AFD (which I believe should be closed as an admin matter). --Doncram (talk) 17:41, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

Restarted etc.
The article was deleted entirely I guess, whether or not that was appropriate if a redirect was going to be created. This is under discussion now at Deletion Review, at Deletion review/Log/2018 September 17. Also the article was restarted, perhaps with different content and sources (I can't tell), then it was redirected, and then I restored the re-started article. The fact that a topic was once deleted does not preclude a new article being created. --Doncram (talk) 13:59, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Then there was another redirect and restoration. At the deletion review I suggested that discussion about the new article should take place, here. At about the same time, though, a new, second AFD was started.  Hey, I think the main discussion should first be at deletion review, but I am not in control, whatever.  Anyhow, at the deletion review I asked for anyone to please restore the old version of the article to somewhere, which would in fact inform any discussion of whether the new article is sufficiently different. --Doncram (talk) 17:54, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Please Change X to Y: Cutler was born and raised in a Jewish family in Bangor, Maine, the eldest son of Lawrence and Catherine Cutler. His father was a physician and his mother was an economist.
 * Cutler received secondary education at Deerfield Academy. He then proceeded to graduate from Harvard College and later earned a degree from Georgetown Law.
 * Cutler began his career as a legislative assistant to Senator Edmund Muskie of Maine, helping craft the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act.
 * He served as associate director for Natural Resources, Energy and Science in the Office of Management and Budget in the Carter administration, and was the principal White House official for energy.
 * He then worked from 1980 to 1988 for the law firm Webster & Sheffield, focusing mostly on environmental and land use issues.
 * He was a founding partner of Cutler & Stanfield LLP, with fellow Webster & Sheffield associate Jeffrey Stanfield, which became the second-largest environmental law firm in the country, eventually merging that practice with international firm Akin Gump in 2000.
 * In 1990, Cutler purchased property on Shore Road in Cape Elizabeth. In an interview with Portland Magazine, Cutler recounted the purchase, "It took two years to find this property. Once we saw it and bought it, we wanted to build a house that sat well on land and was not overly imposing, from the road or the water. We needed lots of room for us and our family, a growing family along the course of time, where we could gather family and friends to enjoy the Maine Coast with us." Cutler resided in Cape Elizabeth with his wife, Melanie Stewart Cutler, during his gubernatorial campaigns. They have two adult children. In 2006, Cutler moved to Beijing, where he acquired a collection of Chinese vernacular furniture and antiques. When he moved back to his home in Cape Elizabeth, he integrated the Far East influence with the Maine mystique of the residence. In May 2017, Cutler put his 15,455 square feet (1,435.8 m2) oceanfront home in Cape Elizabeth for sale for $11 million, citing his intention to move to a condominium in nearby Portland and also to look for a place on the water in Maine. At the end of 2020, the home was purchased by Jonathan S. Bush.

 * I changed the suggested edit to be placed at the end. The source is from Thornburg's website -- it is an artifact they have since scrubbed.
