Delete Simply being a candidate in an election does not confer notability on a person. All the linked sources are either deadlinks or generic pro forma websites that cover all such candidates.

 * Delete - per WP:POLITICIAN being an unelected candidate does not confer notability, and I don't see the substantial independent comment required apart from that. JohnCD (talk) 16:19, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep a major party candidate for US senator will always have enough press attention to be notable. Its just a matter of adding them from the dozens at Google News Archive  . It takes quite a notable political career to reach that point even if one loses--this only adds about 15/year to Wikipedia    DGG ( talk ) 20:58, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete then redirect to United States Senate election in Massachusetts, 2006. Nothing in the page needs to be merged. Looking at the sources identified by DGG, they are mostly Senate-race related. Some could be added to the race page; the cash-poor nature of Chase's campaign here for example. TerriersFan (talk) 16:03, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
