Kathleen Troia McFarland
non-notable candidate for Republican nomination for US Senate, other candidate has party's endorsement, mostly known for claiming that Hillary is spying on her by flying helicopters over her house and peeking in her windows. JChap (talk • contribs) 01:23, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Too many non notable senate nominees are there in AFD. delete all of them. --Ageo020 01:29, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Ageo020 nominate them and I'll vote delete if they are all up to this standard. Viridae Talk 09:03, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: The men in black told me that I had to vote to delete, lest the black helicopters land on my apartment building and send me for reprogramming.  (Actually, it's because she's a nominee.  Her current position is scary/explanatory, but not of a high enough profile for her to pass BIO.)  Geogre 12:19, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: The proposed wikipedia policy on candidates and elections calls for using a redirect rather than deleting the article. [Full disclosure: a redirect is technically a "keep"; any editor can reverse it.  It would be nice if there were a "hard redirect" resulting from an AfD, whose reversal would require some extra effort/justification, but that's not the case now.]  John Broughton 14:24, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: That's not the worst solution, but it is only proposed for now, for the very reason you indicate.  One of the ulterior motives of seeking deletion of candidacy pages is that they attract devoted proponents and opponents.  A mere redirect leaves the temptation open to infinitely piddle on and recreate a page when the candidate or opponent needs "just that little extra push up Google" or "any free advertising we can get."
