 * Keep or careful merge into the main article. I don't like this article, not because of its content but because its existance could set precedent for cruft-filled similar articles much further down the celebrity food chain (we absolutely wouldn't want an article on the political beliefs of Jessie Camp, Lonelygirl15, or the fat Star Wars youtube kid, for example).  But with that said it's impossible to ignore that this is a notable and well-researched article, and the existance of an actual published book -- albeit a minor one -- specifically on this topic suggests it is encyclopedic.

 * Merge to Frank Sinatra, or, if not, Delete. The topic is unsuitable for a stand-alone article and properly belongs as a section in the biographical article about Sinatra. Nsk92 (talk) 14:19, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge. It strikes me that there is enough material here to make this a reasonable fork from the main article, but it should be merged if that could be accomplished without either the loss of information or the appearance of undue weight.  Celebrities are going to vary widely in the attention paid to their political beliefs and activities.  Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger stand at one end of a continuum; perhaps Lonelygirl15 stands at another, and Sinatra falls somewhere in between.  The decisive test is the existence of verifiable commentary by unaffiliated third parties, and Sinatra's political views meet that test. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:32, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge It is interesting to note that in Frank Sinatra's main article, there is no mention of his political views. Trim down the non-necessary parts and then make it a section in his main article. Tavix (talk) 15:42, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge Content does not appear to warrant enough reason to have its own article, and would do better located in the main article. tj9991 (talk | contribs) 16:21, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge I didn't read far enough to find out who Ol' Blue Eyes would be voting for in 2008, but a separate article about any celebrity's political beliefs is hero worship gone horribly wrong. Mandsford (talk) 21:01, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge interesting contnet that is valuable and well sourced. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 00:43, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
