Republican Party (United States) presidential primaries, 2012

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

Content fork of United States presidential election, 2012; all the information on this page is also available on that page. Should be redirected there for the next two years or so, then recreated when more information on the primaries and candidates becomes available. — Hysteria18 (Talk • Contributions) 19:46, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * If there's truly no new content in the subarticle, then redirect. But I don't see the point in holding people off from fleshing out the article for 2 years or whatever... I seriously doubt I'll join them, but if they want to add valid, sourced content... might as well let them. --Movingday29 (talk) 23:01, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I created the article (initially as a redirect); under no circumstances do I think the article qualifies for AfD. If anything, it should be a redirect, but I personally think that this article is a keep. With some work, this could potentially be a valuable addition to WP's series on the upcoming presidential election. United Statesman (talk) 23:07, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete It has the potential to be valuable; it just doesn't have the potential to be valuable today. Although the information concerning the "Ohio plan" looked promising, the April 2008 blog page noted that it was non-binding and that decisions would be made at the GOP Convention.  If anything came of that, it's not in this article.  While I realize that at some point in the next two years, dates will be announced for which states will have caucuses or primaries on which Tuesdays (Jan 10, 17, 24, 31; Feb 7, 14, 21, 28; etc.), this article makes up for its lack of something concrete with pictures of people who might run in those primaries.  No reason to put a foot in the door unless you've got something to sell.  Mandsford (talk) 01:50, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Not currrently notable, nor will it be for two years. ¿SFGi Д nts!  ¿Complain! ¿Analyze! ¿Review! 16:56, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep as a stub. It will expand as coverage does, but the topic is already notable the predictions are well-coveraged by independant, reliable, third-party sources. Themfromspace (talk) 22:34, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
