Contested deletion

[edit]

This article should not be speedy deleted as being recently created, having no relevant page history and duplicating an existing English Wikipedia topic, because... it's a unique law relevant to a particular U.S. state. The right thing to do is have a merge proposal. -- Kendrick7talk 05:48, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Technically, Scott Walker has dropped out, although he may very well end up as the GOP's VP candidate. Feel free, IP editor, to expand the stub from reliable sources, existing or new, in order to provide more context.
In any case, deleting an article with 5 references in favor of an article with absolutely no references is problematic. Are the concepts related? Maybe, but who knows? There's no references to tether the other article to anything verifiable. -- Kendrick7talk 01:30, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
After reading the discussion, I support a merge proposal. Mr.Bob.298 (talk) 05:04, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
