Deletion of Harrison Bagwell

Comment: while the passing mentions are not "significant coverage", we are talking about early-1950s Louisiana. Many paper records are still being digitised (see those few Google Books records that ''do'' exist) and online coverage is predictably scarce. That said, I'd argue that his contribution to Southern politics (his "field") is significant enough for him to pass #2. We're not talking about someone people are trying to "promo" for election now (60+ years later). I think there's value in keeping this article as part of the enduring political record of the region in that era. But I agree that at present, there's not a lot of significant coverage there, such that a strong case is difficult to make. I certainly don't fault the nominator for bringing it here

Comment: This article is about the first Republican to run in the general election for governor of Louisiana in 24 years.  Bagwell also played a role in the effort to revive Louisiana's moribund Republican party apparatus and to get the pro-Eisenhower Louisiana delegates seated at the 1952 Republican convention, thereby securing the nomination for Eisenhower. (See, e.g., http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=AQssAAAAIBAJ&sjid=scYEAAAAIBAJ&pg=1070%2C4007750 this 1952 AP article and http://scholarlycommons.law.wlu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1642&context=wlulr this law review article.)  As such, he played a meaningful role in Louisiana politics, and its long term transformation from yellow dog Democrat to Red states and blue states|Republican bastion.  I agree that there's some extraneous detail in the current version of this article, but I don't think our coverage is improved by deleting the whole article. If we don't want a separate article, the |better solution would be to merge and redirect to Louisiana gubernatorial election, 1952, not to delete it
