United states presidential election in Kentucky 1960

No references, and percentage's don't add up. And the author has changed the percentages a few times. --Abc518 (talk) 17:29, 2 August 2009 (UTC) Adding near identical pages from same editor:
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Kentucky-related deletion discussions.  — Cliff smith  talk  02:49, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. POV, OR, and unnecessary fork. Do we need separate entries for each state for each election year? that would add up quick. Perhaps if they were better entries. Hairhorn (talk) 01:55, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Such forks are not necessary. And even if they were, this is certainly not the answer. -- L P  talk 02:00, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Both were up for speedy as misnomer redirects... but I created the redirects to get rid of the articles, so they should have been reverted rather than speedied. Hairhorn (talk) 02:25, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete The Kentucky article is atrociously bad.  For example, the author cites Kennedy's victory in Kentucky as notable, due to Kentucky being a heavily Republican state with respect to Presidential elections.  However, Kentucky's history as a Republican-leaning state doesn't really start until the Reagan era; Kentucky went Democratic in nearly every Presidential election from 1856-1956, so Kennedy's victory in Kentucky was something of a given, and hardly a surprise.  I could quite easily improve this article a great deal...but do we really need an article about the 1960 Presidential election in Kentucky?  Why? KevinOKeeffe (talk) 12:43, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Read it more carefully. Kennedy lost in Kentucky, per the article. Are the state by state results available in some other article? They seem important enough, for each state, to be tabulated in one article per election. The results in each state had substantial coverage in  multiple reliable and independent sources.
