2006 Michigan's 8th congressional district election

Fails WP:GNG and WP:SPLIT. This article doesn't go into a whole lot of detail (at least, detail that would go beyond a simple summary in 2006 United States House of Representatives elections in Michigan) into a race that was supposedly somewhat competitive but ultimately did not switch seats, so there's no indication for any special notability regarding this story. Much of the article is instead focused on providing a WP:BIO on the Democratic nominee who lost to the Republican incumbent, so if there is some notability to be found in that topic, I would recommend an entire revamp of the article so it could revolve around that person.

 * Comment - I'll also have to point out for transparency's sake that this article had been bundled into an earlier AfD, which was closed as keep. According to the user who filed that bundle,, the writer of this article apparently "even admitted up-front that this article was basically not notable at all".

 * Merge to 2006 United States House of Representatives elections in Michigan, not independently notable, but the sources could be useful at the target. Devonian Wombat (talk) 08:55, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
