This page should not be speedily deleted because I'm still working on the article, and I only was away a few minutes before it was tagged for deletion. Please let me work on the article and if you then still decide it is not a good enough article then you can re-tag it.


 * Thanks for the response. There was no content in the article when I came across it, and it had been 20 minutes since it was created. There's no time limit on how long you have to create an article, but the WP:A3 guidelines allow it to be tagged by anyone if it has no content after "a few minutes". Articles without content confuse readers and add maintenance burden. You're welcome to add content now, but if you aren't ready to do that yet (or want to experiment) I would suggest doing it in the article wizard or as a draft on your user page. If you do that you won't worry about it being tagged, and you can then convert it to a real published article when you're ready. If you need more help just reply here or on my talk page. Also, don't forget to sign your posts with four tildes ( ~ ). Pianoman320 (talk) 20:02, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
 * and don't stress about the tag. They usually take a while to get processed, and an admin probably won't delete it right away after seeing your explanation. If it does get deleted, it's only temporary. You can always recreate it once you've decided on content to put in it, there's no rule against that. I'll take the tag off if you do add content, though.

I removed the WP:A3 tag because the article now has content, and the WP:A7 tag because the article now makes a claim of significance. It looks like it could use more content, and definitely needs some references. Take a look at WP:CITE and WP:V for help adding references. Pianoman320 (talk) 20:30, 28 July 2016 (UTC)


 * @Pianoman320 Thank you for your understanding. I'm filling in more now and will add citations once I've put all the info in. It definitely is not a completed product yet but I'm confident it will turn out well.

Sources?
This article only references two sources, which is far from enough. Additionally Clinton's 2008 vote total seems to be incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BrendonJH (talk • contribs) 23:01, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
