Mayoralty of Sarah Palin
- Mayoralty of Sarah Palin (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
There is not currently enough material to warrent a subarticle and the article is currently a word for word copy of the main article ThaddeusB (talk) 20:05, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
I support the Article , in my opinion there is enough material to support the article. and the article should be kept.--MisterAlbert (talk) 20:15, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
- Keep. Tha article is well-sourced and it's a notable topic. The main article is growing in all directions, and the replacement of this material with a summary would improve it. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 20:18, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
- Keep, per Will Beback. Note that there is also an article on Governorship of Sarah Palin, and this article goes well with that one. This is standard practice for political figures. For example, see Governorship of Mitt Romney and Mayoralty of Rudy Giuliani.Ferrylodge (talk) 20:22, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
- Comment On the talk page of the Sarah Palin article, sentiment is against this particular fork because it seems to be hard to create a fair summary (only Ferrylodge disagrees). The sub-article and the section are very similar, and will remain so, negating the main purpose of a sub-article. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 20:25, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
- The talk page discussion about summarizing that section only began a few hours ago, so it's premature to say that no consensus can be reached. Keeping this article will help promote that consensus.Ferrylodge (talk) 20:28, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Also, you can't compare an article about the governer of NY, the third largest state, or NYC, the largest city in the USA, with an article about a town of about 7,000 people. The main points can be made in the primary article about Sarah Palin. Anything else is either bound to be a POV fork, or a coatrack. I don't see any other articles about being the mayor of a town of less than 10k people on Misplaced Pages, so the premise is flawed. PHARMBOY (TALK) 20:26, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
