original research that is not encyclopedic, simply an indiscriminate collection of information on candidates' views. Was originally proded (with myself providing a prod2), but creator removed. --YbborTalk 21:22, 3 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per concerns regarding original research. Addhoc 21:32, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm not convinced this is an indiscriminate collection of information, but WP:NOT a voter's guide. eaolson 22:17, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Information comes from the candidates web sites, so does not constitute OR. It's not an indiscriminate collection, either.  The second section, on $contributions from healthcare sources, may be considered OR. Capmango 22:47, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Candidates Web sites would be considered primary sources, and hence not allowed. --YbborTalk 23:01, 3 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per concerns regarding orginal research, particularly with unsourced contributions. As for "according to campaign websites", WP:NOT a voter's guide. However, an article Health care in the 2008 US elections could be kept if sourced appropriately. Canuckle 22:53, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Today's NY Times article, Health Care Looms as Top Campaign Issue could be the start of a better article if there was a willing, talented editor(s) who could equal the quality of Medicare (United States) and Health care in the United States or even Clinton health care plan.

 * Keep and rename to Health care in the 2008 US Presidential Election. This actually is encyclopedic - it just has the misfortune of being created by a user not familiar with policies. Most of the information is sourced, and whatever isn't can be removed. The Evil Spartan 17:01, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete There is potential here, but there is not current article worth keeping. It can be brought back when someone with the expertise is willing to put considerable effort into the task. --Storm Rider (talk) 06:53, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
