West Virginia Gubernatorial Election, 2012

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This election won't be held for another three years; there has been no coverage whatsoever in the press thus far, let alone substantial coverage, and this article is essentially unsourced speculation at this point. Obviously this article ought to be created in the future, but at the present time I argue that we should delete it per WP:CRYSTAL. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 01:23, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge back to West Virginia elections, 2012, by the same author. That one seems like a legit article, but this one is about an event where even the primaries are more than two years away.  Mandsford (talk) 15:00, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Looking at the article, there's not really anything worth merging. It is, as I said, unsourced speculation. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 05:18, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete As a West Virginian, I can confirm that there is virtually no discussion of the 2012 elections in the media, at least in the northern part of the state. As such, WP:CRYSTAL applies. DarkAudit (talk) 00:33, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
