Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2012 us presidential election
and fix the title by moving to United States presidential election, 2012. The 2012 U.S. Presidential election is a daily topic of coverage on TV news channels and in print media and is thus |notable. When reliable and independent sources discuss some future event, especially the very next in a defined series which gets worldwide coverage each time it happens, it is not crystal ball gazing. There have been polls of who Republicans prefer as the nominee and discussion of who is taking the actions a prospective candidate would take, such as maximizing their national presence. There have been discussion of actual or proposed rule changes, such as requiring voter-verified paper ballots and avoiding states moving their primaries early as happened in 2008. The rules are being adjusted. The candidates are getting set, since a presidential campaign is not a spur of the moment thing. The article on the 2008 election was created early in 2003 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=United_States_presidential_election,_2008&oldid=2012468 and survived a deletion debate in December 2003
