 * Trim and merge into main article. Imagine if we had a similar article for every Congressperson who was ever elected.  Yikes!  There's much too much data here and not enough information. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:22, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Jesse Jackson is slightly more famous and important than most congresspeople. If someone has the record of achievements and the coverage in reliable sources they get more than the average coverage in Wikipedia. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:36, 28 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge into main article. That is the obvious solution. Qworty (talk) 06:30, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge - Not an encyclopedic topic, no realistic reason forcing a split of this from the encyclopedic and searchable subject. Carrite (talk) 16:47, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge into Jesse Jackson, Jr.. Almost all, if not all articles about US politicians have their electoral history as a section near the bottom of the page. No reason to depart from that practice here. Lord Roem (talk) 19:19, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
