Delete as non-notable individual. Would only be notable in this case had he won the election. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 16:51, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Nonnotable per WP:POLITICIAN. DARTH SIDIOUS 2 (Contact) 20:31, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:12, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Arguably unique as a Republican who wasn't elected to Congress yesterday. But the election's over the campaign is over, time to take down all the posters and signs including this one. Mandsford 22:20, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. There were about 200 Republicans who lost their races for the House and Senate yesterday. We have a lot of deleting to do. Qworty (talk) 02:09, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Too bad that there can't be a mass nomination of all the self-serving campaign advertisements, but I'm sure many of them will get through by proving that they were state legislators. We had some guy argue in another AfD that a seat on a county board counted as being part of a "provincial legislature". As a Democrat, I'm intrigued by the idea of deleting the the articles of the losing Republican candidates. Mandsford 02:35, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * As a Democrat, since we're baring our souls, I can say I would not have been too sorry to see Barney Frank lose, although I also would have liked almost all the other Dems to have won. The election is over, so enough trash talking. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 02:45, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * As a voter from Massachusetts, I'm perfectly happy for us to tend to the selection of our own representatives and let those from other areas tend to theirs. As an editor peering over this article, like others, I don't see how this particular subject passes WP:POLITICIAN, nor how it had in the first place.  Make mine Delete.

 * Delete (e/c) noting I was by far the primary contributor to the article. Oh well.   jheiv  talk  contribs 02:46, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect. The actual article is United States House of Representatives elections in Massachusetts, 2010. I didn't notice a link to that article from this Sean article, which generally means (along with no External links other than the campaign site) that it's just a sleazy cut-and-paste campaign article, but I suppose the material could be summarized and included in the election article. (Added Nov. 9: I've now added the link to the article, just for the record.) Flatterworld (talk) 20:27, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Recommend closing out now under WP:SNOWBALL (too many pages already on my watchlist). Thanks. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 03:51, 6 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge and Redirect per WP:POLITICIAN. The above editors are misquoting the guideline; the guideline explicitly enjoins us to redirect and not to delete. This is so that, if the subject should attain notability later, we don't have to go fishing for an admin to undelete the article history and sourcing. At least, that figured prominently on my mind when I helped write that portion of the guideline. Ray  Talk 06:48, 7 November 2010 (UTC)


 * With all due respect, redirect this article to where? Bielat is not particularly notable in any area or field. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 19:20, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The obvious place is United States House of Representatives elections in Massachusetts, 2010. Ray  Talk 13:23, 10 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete. Merge only if there's material pertinent to the election article. Shii (tock) 14:06, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
