Delaware gubernatorial election, 2012

 * – ( View AfD View log )

For the time being, and probably for the next few months, there's absolutely nothing to say on this subject. I'd be happy to see it re-created as and when some actual information becomes available. (Contested prod.) – hysteria18 (talk) 16:05, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - given that there will probably be some candidates declared over the next few months (taking a look at some of the other gubernatorial elections for that year), it seems pointless to delete this simply because there are no declared candidates. We have pages for elections really quite far in the future ( see Scottish parliament election, 2016), so I don't see why we can't have a stub for one next year for which there will soon be plenty of reliable information. --Anthem of joy (talk) 16:37, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - I don't support deletion for this race. "For the time being, and probably for the next few months": Granted, nothing has happened yet, but to make the assumption that nothing will in the next few months is not true. This is not a 2014 or 2016 election article, this is a 2012 article where races across the country are changing in some way almost everyday. So to delete this article would be pointless, as things are bound to pick up soon. That said, thank you Hysteria18 for starting this discussion, as I do believe that this proposed deletion does deserve a look-at. America69 (talk) 16:38, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Keep. Crystal ball policy doesn't apply here -- there are current events that go on that affect the election. Elle vécut heureuse à jamais  (be free) 12:17, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
