What is this? This could possibly be an article some day, but now it's just a serious of mostly disconnected links about NASA and the Armenian Genocide. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:47, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 *  Weak keep  Seems like it was created as a shell equivalent to Comparison of United States presidential candidates, 2008, which is a good article, but nothing has been built here outside of a skeleton list of links. Definitely can do with an expansion to resemble the 2008 article, though it definitely needs TLC in the next seven days. None however and I would argue for delete if it hasn't been built up.

 * Change to Delete Obvious that no expansion has taken place outside of the additions of hemp/marijuana headings that probably will never be addressed. Userfy is possible if someone picks up the ball, but this article can't continue in this form.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 06:09, 24 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. It's already been around for three months, with no substantive activity and still no content.  Wasted Time R (talk) 11:28, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment. The 2008 version is a good and useful article; it would seem that the 2012 contest would merit a similar article. This, at least in its current form, ain't it. Is there enough useful formatting or (cited!) information to warrant a move into the userspace as a draft? UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 14:55, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete or Userfy as a draft, per UltraExactZZ, if possible. Has potential to be a legitimate article like its 2008 predecessor, and can be recreated if and when actual content is added. Until then, however, it is little more than an unencyclopedic collection of wikilinks.--JayJasper (talk) 18:07, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment This page could be very important very soon. I think we should add to it rather than delete it.--pauperoooonnndkj
 * Delete a bunch of empty sections with headings of issues and some internal links, please Go Phightins! (talk) 02:56, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
