Iowa's 1st congressional district election, 2006

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

NPOV problems, unref'd, half the article is a little bio for the losing side. 99DBSIMLR 13:18, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - article topic seems in line with Category:United States House of Representatives elections by state and Congressional elections are pretty much notable by definition. Slap the appropriate clean-up tags on it. Otto4711 13:26, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Changing to Merge and redirect per Davewild. I think the election article is the better merge target since both articles are strictly about the election and not the district as a whole. Otto4711 19:46, 29 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep per Otto.   RGTraynor  14:02, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm no fan of this type of article - I don't think Wikipedia should be an elections compendium - but my personal opinion here is a moot point.  It passes inclusion criteria.  Ark yan  &#149; (talk) 16:39, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - There's much better information about the election found in this article: Iowa's 1st congressional district. Maybe a merger is in order. 99DBSIMLR 17:12, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * DELETE — Article is now outdated. The pertinent information that readers will find most useful is included in the article Iowa's congressional elections, 2006. Briguy52748 17:47, 29 May 2007 (UTC)]]
 * Merge and redirect to Iowa's congressional elections, 2006. Valid article topic but see nothing that cannot be incorporated within the main article on the 2006 elections in Iowa.  A sepearate article would only be valid if there was too much information to fit on the main article. Davewild 18:44, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * merge to Iowa's congressional elections, 2006 and Iowa's 1st congressional district. Pretty much anything can be covered in those. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 23:11, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep This article is about a notable event and has lots of company at Category:United States House of Representatives elections by state. Lots o' tags exist to request cleanup, as required; deletion is not the solution. Alansohn 04:13, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect (unless expanded at the time of closing). This article is not large enough to fork off from Iowa's congressional elections, 2006. Looking at Category:United States House of Representatives elections by state, I found that better examples like Texas's 22nd congressional district election, 2006, California's 48th congressional district special election, 2005, and Arizona 1st congressional district election, 2006. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 07:32, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect. This content is poorly written.  The best factual parts should be salvaged with a merge.  Nimur 01:52, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
