Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Harrison Bagwell
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
