Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Patrick Murray (politician) (2nd nomination)
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
