I propose to merge Gubernatorial recall effort against Mike Dunleavy into Mike Dunleavy. I think that the content in the Gubernatorial recall effort against Mike Dunleavy article can easily be explained in the context of Mike Dunleavy, and the Mike Dunleavy article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Gubernatorial recall effort against Mike Dunleavy will not cause any problems as far as article size is concerned.

I think that it is premature for an independent article to exist. When it results in an election (or appears all but certain to, like the 2021 California gubernatorial recall election at the moment), then it would be more appropriate for it to be a stand-alone article, in my opinion. If the recall effort were more complex, or there was more information on Wikipedia about it than would be appropriate to fit in the Mike Dunleavy article, then it could be justified as a stand-alone article regardless of whether it results in an election, but it does not seem that it warrants that length of coverage at the moment.

I feel like this article should be kept for now. If the recall petition ultimately doesn't go anywhere, then it can definitely be deleted and the relevant content merged to the relevant articles. Love of Corey (talk) 22:04, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I also think there is enough coverage of this effort to merit an article at this time; if it fails(though even Dunleavy seems to think it will get there) we can deal with this then. Note that there was a Supreme Court decision on this matter. 331dot (talk) 12:30, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think now that since the article has been expanded and covers more content, including polling data, it probably is now broad enough to be a standalone article SecretName101 (talk) 13:45, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
