Orphaned references in United States House of Representatives elections in Arizona, 2010[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of United States House of Representatives elections in Arizona, 2010's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 20:17, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jesse Kelly[edit]

Suggesting merging Jesse Kelly into this article because it fails WP:POLITICIAN and WP:BIO as a stand-alone article. Arbor832466 (talk) 15:42, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I oppose merging. His run for office is one part of his life. In the future people may debate if he's notable enough to merit continued inclusion, however, as an active major party candidate in an election for the U.S. Congress he's worthy of his own article.--Utahredrock (talk) 05:04, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Utahredrock's point. And the fact that according to polling he has a real good shot at defeating an incumbent, makes him notable in and of itself. Especially in this election cycle where control of the U.S. Congress is up for grabs. -- Evans1982 (talk) 07:47, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Besides, if he's elected in three weeks, it won't matter. He'll definitely be notable at that point and we'll need the separate article about him. --SchutteGod (talk) 17:18, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with SchutteGod. The article is good enough to leave until after the election, at which point we can re-open discussion if he loses. Flatterworld (talk) 16:03, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Paul Gosar[edit]

I've proposed merging Paul Gosar because Mr. Gosar doesn't seem to meet the criteria of WP:POLITICIAN or WP:BIO. Simply running ahead in partisan polls does not qualify him for his own article, although that information should certainly be included this page. Thanks! Arbor832466 (talk) 15:37, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you making all these challenges so close to the election? I mean, if it was still five months out, I could understand it, but three weeks? This guy could get elected, and we'd need to change it right back to give him his own article. U.S. congressmen and congressmen-elect are notable bio subjects. Opposed, though I do favor revisiting this request should Gosar lose. --SchutteGod (talk) 17:22, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with SchutteGod. The article is good enough to leave until after the election, at which point we can re-open discussion if he loses. Flatterworld (talk) 16:04, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
