Deletion of Gerrymandering in the United States

Comment: I don't see any of the -REASON|deletion criteria being applicable to this article, nor does the nominator posit any. Volumes of material have been written about gerrymandering specifically in the United States, and information specific to the United States was taking up a disproportionately large amount of space on the main Gerrymandering article (see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gerrymandering&oldid=599966762 revision 599966762). The main article is sizable; before moving out some of the U.S.-related material, its readable prose size was large (per ) at 67kb. Gerrymandering in the United States is an appropriate |spinoff article that was created in line with Wikipedia's guideline on |summary style and . If the main article encompassed everything related to gerrymandering in the United States—the history, relevant federal and state legislation, relevant court cases, the several different types, legal and political remedies—it would be unbearably large and slanted toward the United States content. The reason I "admitted" to copying material from Gerrymandering was to give proper attribution when copying material from one article to another, which is a permitted practice (with attribution required by ). Even still, the new article is not a duplicate of its parent by any means; I've added a large amount of new material and sources that were completely missing from the main article—including info on bipartisan gerrymandering, racial gerrymandering, the constitutionality of partisan gerrymandering, and alternative voting systems—and I've rewritten much of the old. As I mentioned, volumes of material have been written about gerrymandering specific to the United States, certainly enough for the topic to merit its own article per  and , and I plan to continue to work to expand and refine the article with any other editors who may wish to participate
