Deletion of Patrick Murray (politician) (2nd nomination)

Comment: to Virginia's 8th congressional district election, 2010. Fails  and , but I could see him possibly being a valid search term. There is a decent possibility he might try for office again, so keeping the edit history in a redirect might be a good idea later on down the road

Comment: I should note that I just removed two "references" from the article, one sourced to a blog and the other to a radio station repeating something from examiner.com (a "reader-written" non-reliable source), and both of which were definite BLP violations attacking Murray's opponent). I am of course |assuming good faith on the part of Jim Miller

Comment: Seeing as no admin has closed this nomination yet for being too soon after the intial nomination and decisive keep, I must note that absent a procedural close I believe that the article should be kept. The prior AfD was closed as '''Keep''' without noted exception or explanation, and any after the fact explanations should not be relevant to the re-openeing of the discussion. There is no policy-based allowance for a "Provisional Keep" or a "Temporary Keep." The subject of the article meets  and  through international coverage in http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/world/2010/1103/1224282556889.html The Irish Times and http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/8102816/VoIP-and-the-Mid-terms.html The Telegraph, as well as national coverage in http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/252578/defeat-then-denial-jonah-goldberg the National Review. While my opinion is that all major party candidates for federal office are notable, this particular campaign attracted far wider than normal coverage and clearly meets our inclusion criteria

Comment: I closed the previous AfD, with the consensus present there. I agree with Racepacket that this should now be deleted, as Murray does not meet . However, I would not be averse to this being deleted and recreated as a redirect to Virginia's 8th congressional district election, 2010
