 * Delete per nom or merge and redirect to Shoup Voting Machine Corporation . Minor, unnotable crook. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:25, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I am reminded by my own comments in my previous Afd that his crime is unrelated to the Shoup Corporation, so strike the second option. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:24, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete: The then-lack of an article on the Shoup Voting Machine Corporation seems to have influenced the 2012 Keep decision. The two sentences on the subject's 1979 conviction in the 1988 New Yorker article don't make clear the extent to which the company was implicated so I agree with in that earlier AfD that merger may not be appropriate. When all is said and done, there is nothing here to indicate the prosecuted event was notable and meet the WP:CRIMINAL criteria. AllyD (talk) 09:29, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
