[edit] Why Separate?

I'm just wondering why this page is a separate page than the main John McCain page. Not only is this about a secondary career of his, but it doesn't even go through the entirety of that career. I propose that this page be merged back into the main John McCain article.Dcs315 (talk) 23:52, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

The reason is that the main article on John McCain became long. When that happens, Wikipedia has a procudure called WP:Summary style. That means that separate articles are spun off, and then only a summary goes in the John McCain article. See the summary here.Ferrylodge (talk) 23:59, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
