The result was redirect to Virginia United States Senate election, 2006. While this is a different article than that discussed at Articles for deletion/S.R. Sidarth, the issue of notability is the same. The relevant content of each of the articles with respect to notability is the same. -- Samir  धर्म 07:39, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

An article on the same subject was listed for deletion at Articles for deletion/S.R. Sidarth. Essentially, the subject is only notable because of an incident involving George Felix Allen whereby he was called a pejorative term. He received fifteen minutes of fame for the incident &mdash; and ten minutes more for an essay (sort of) regarding the incident &mdash; but that doesn't make him notable enough to have an Wikipedia article all to his lonesome. --  tariq abjotu  06:09, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Article you cited did not go through full AfD, so the fact that it was listed has no bearing. Besides, the redirect to George Allen doesn't really even mention the whole issue, as it is given more detail at Virginia United States Senate election, 2006. So it's not even that good of a merge/redirect and a clumsy solution in my opinion. For now, I'm making the redirect at least point to the new article while we slog through this AfD.--Rosicrucian 06:24, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
