The result was delete, page seems to duplicate template. Also applying prior precedent as established in Articles for deletion/U.S. Congressional Delegation from XXX. No offense taken if anybody takes this to DRV -- in particular, if there's anything that needs undeleting to be merged, you need only let me know. Luna Santin 02:18, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

List of current Iowa Senators

 * - (View AfD) (View log)

This list simply duplicates the information found in Current Iowa Senators without providing any of the unique, useful information that would justify keeping it around. The normal process would be to simply merge this with the article it duplicates, but the template already contains all the relevant information and redirecting from an article to a template just didn't feel right.

 * Delete - seems rather pointless to have duplicate information Jayden54 17:28, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom. Neonblak 19:26, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep it does contain slightly more info than the template mentioned, but I think it could still do with being expanded personally. Jcuk 20:57, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as above + The word "current" does not belong in an encyclopedia article, let alone the title of an article Bwithh 22:40, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. There is way more information that the template: it lists the home county. Also, unlike the template, the possibilities for expansion are endless. My personal feeling is that the template just takes up a lot of space and should be deleted. However, shouldn't this be called List of Iowa State Senators. --JJay 22:53, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Note, approximately 50 state/DC/PR articles of the form U.S. Congressional Delegation from XXXX were deleted in October 2006. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dhartung (talk • contribs) 23:14, 15 January 2007 (UTC).
 * Keep, or merge into the article on the Iowa Senate, where it could easily fit. It contains additional information in a more readable format and is also a better base for expansion than a template. Christopher Parham (talk) 09:41, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Clarification I would be fine with merging the list into the Iowa Senate article to create a result similar to what currently exists at Alaska Senate. I simply do not believe it merits its own separate article. --Tim4christ17 talk 22:25, 16 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge with Iowa Senate. Alaska Senate is a nice article as a model.  If kept, it really needs to be moved to "List of Iowa State Senators" per JJay.  I was expecting a "list" of two people.--Kubigula (talk) 06:56, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. If this article is to be merged or kept, it really needs to be cleaned up.  I noticed a number of inconsistencies between the list and template.  The template appears to be more correct.--Kubigula (talk) 07:06, 17 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep but rename to List of Iowa State Senators. Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 17:07, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. All the list adds is the home county. Not sure that adding that is worth keeping this as an article. The point above about the list and template being different is an additional reason to delete.  The template has wider exposure and mistakes are going to be noticed and fixed sooner.  Also as others pointed out, why have the same data in multiple places?  Put it in one place and then link to it! Vegaswikian 23:03, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
