[edit] Tom Delay arrested Helen Giddings

Delete. A POV article that does not follow naming conventions. If anything, information should be put into article on Tom Delay.--BaronLarf 00:10, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)

  • Merge between Tom Delay and Helen Giddings after suitable NPOVing. Is there a reason why Helen Giddings currently redirects here? -- Brhaspati (talkcontribs) 01:46, 2005 Apr 7 (UTC)
    Because User:Political hack moved it from there. It needs to be moved back. Gazpacho 19:02, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - What is the point of having a seperate article of this incident when we can just need to put this on his bio page? Helen Giddings should not redirect to that article either. Anonymous Cow 02:28, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Doesn't show the need for a separate article. RickK 04:42, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, POV fork. Megan1967 06:54, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge any verifiable and NPOV content to Tom DeLay and Helen Giddings, undo the redirect of Helen Giddings, then delete this mistitled page. Note that, although the Congressman from Texas specializes in delay, there is an uppercase "L" in his surname. Barno 14:55, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: someone please check the last two entries in the Tom DeLay article. Dates are given as "April 6, 2004" but "2005" may be correct for these. Barno 14:58, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge to either Tom Delay or Helen Giddings. Should not be it's own article.Gorrister 18:20, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with Helen Giddings. P Ingerson 19:25, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • If any of this article's text is to be kept, then by my understanding of the license it can't be deleted. Moving the article and its history back to Helen Giddings (where it originated) would be allowable. Gazpacho 04:32, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Moving the article back to Helen Giddings would make sense.... if it really talked about her. There's only one offhand reference to Helen Giddings. --BaronLarf 01:14, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: It's been eight days since the last vote on this article, and it is getting worse, not better. Ahoerstemeier and TheGrza both tried to fix it and could not. The title makes no sense and the article is horribly POV. Political hack has now apparently set upon making a wikilink for every single word. I will try to clean it up, but have no doubt that it will be put back to its previous state by Political hack. Could a moderator figure out the rough consensus here so we can make this encyclopedic? Cheers. --BaronLarf 02:07, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
