Parent article deleted per Articles for deletion/Straw polls for the 2008 United States presidential election (2nd nomination). Both articles suffer from WP:SYNTH with the republican article also suffering from WP:COATRACK. Neither article presents reliable sources that explain how these particular presentations of the data are noteworthy. I don't know if they can be speedied per the original AFD, but I thought I should list them here just in case. Burzmali (talk) 17:55, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete both per the arguments at the AfD for the parent article. Also, per WP:NOTNEWS, these are not "verifiably of significant lasting and historical interest and impact". JohnCD (talk) 22:24, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete both: Was always a WP:COATRACK with dubious criteria. Niteshift36 (talk) 01:42, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
