List of close elections

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article is unsourced and unneeded because wikipedia has List of narrow elections. Any information not on the "narrow elections" list, such as Todd Thomsen's election, should be added and the "close elections" article should be deleted. BBiiis08 (talk) 05:21, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Redirect. 1) When material from this list is incorporated in the other, the GFDL requires the relevant history to be preserved 2) It's a bad idea to merge unreferenced material 3) The title is a reasonable alternative for the phrase "narrow elections". Those are the three reasons I support a redirect, but not an immediate merge. If a merge were to occur anyway, then deletion is the wrong follow up.

 * Delete close is inherently subjective. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:39, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Not if you define what "close" means-- (from List of narrow elections) "This is a list of narrow elections at national and state level that have been decided by a margin of less than 1 vote in 1000 (a margin of victory of less than 0.1%)". — LinguistAtLarge • Talk  03:42, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
