per Wikipedia is not a crystal ball Thomas.macmillan (talk) 20:14, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep - Seems notable and likely to take place. Gtstricky (talk) 17:10, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. It may be "likely" to happen, but until any sources verify it, then it should be deleted as crystalballing. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 17:40, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Carnac the Magnificent says Delete. Pastordavid (talk) 18:08, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete' Little early for this I'd say. Wildthing61476 (talk) 18:10, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Not exactly crystal balling as it is a currently scheduled election. Some brief mentions in the press: [www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1747642/posts], [1], [2]. Though it could also be merged into United States gubernatorial elections, 2010 until we have more to say about it.Kmusser (talk) 20:30, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, per Kmusser. DJ CreamityOh Yeah! 17:42, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - I know that American elections go on for ever. Yes, an election is due, but surely we do not need an article until autumn 2008 or even later, any morte than we need one for the 2012 prsidential election (I hope). Peterkingiron 22:49, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Per Kmusser. It could be merged until more happens. America69 (talk) 22:34, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as speculation per WP:CRYSTAL and because it fails WP:NOTE. This election probably is scheduled to take place, but there is little which can be verifiably said about it which could not also be said about the 2016 or 2022 elections. The article is currently unreferenced, and the subject will remain non-notable unless and until there is some substantive reporting of facts relating to the topic: declared candidates, electoral arrangements or whatever might do it, but al we have now is unsourced speculation. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:34, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
    • You need a citation that a gubernatorial election is the election of a governor? I added sources, even the silly ones. Kmusser (talk) 02:15, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
