Summary of the 2004 United States presidential election controversy and irregularities

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

As an encyclopedia any article surely should be a summary of its topic - this article seems completely redundant to 2004 United States presidential election controversy and irregularities. Note that that other article, while controversial and on arbcom parole, is more extensively linked to including on navigation templates for this rather fractured topic, while the "summary of..." article is virtually orphaned when you check what links to it. Much of the content of this "summary" page seems to be along the same lines as Timeline of the 2004 United States presidential election controversy and irregularities which has been deleted (see AFD) for just just being a series of links to news sites, violating WP:NOT. In summary, it's an article at a daft title, which is redundant to one at a better title, almost completely unlinked to, and should probably be merged with the better-titled article except for the fact there's not much salvageable content (it's almost completely uncited and the biggest section is a timeline violating WP:NOT and similar in format to one already deleted)...so AFD seemed the most appropriate place.

 * Delete: Duplication of an article essentially, for a summary. No reason to have this. It's also mostly uncited.  Seicer  (talk) (contribs) 04:44, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Entirely superfluous, the article it's a precis of is bad enough in itself. Nick mallory 06:17, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I concur with what other editors have said. It's very obviously superfluous because we already have 2004 United States presidential election controversy and irregularities. THE KING 09:31, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I think this may constitute a WP:POVFORK. The place for an article summary is the lead section, not a separate article. Sheffield Steel talkstalk 17:50, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Ugh. --AliceJMarkham 01:29, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
