text: Baffled as to why we're still using a garbage image. Nowhere in the archives is there a discussion where this terrible image was a consensus pick. We should be using the best quality image freely available, unless there is a preexisting consensus which overrides that, which there is not. This is the dictionary definition of WP:Status quo stonewalling. Curbon7 (talk) 20:27, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

message: The article doesn't explain what Hutchinson (who loved public service) did about the draft and Vietnam.   He would have been in college during the hottest years
of the Vietnam War, and it was THE biggest issue of his youth, but the article remains silent on this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.27.38 (talk) 14:15, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

message: "he presented the National School Shield plan during a news conference at the National Press Club." What was the essence of the plan?  It is neither explained nor linked. 2600:6C67:1C00:5F7E:E8B4:539A:F2B2:4D82 (talk) 15:42, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Details, pleASE 

message: I propose merging Asa Hutchinson 2024 presidential campaign into Asa Hutchinson and leaving behind a redirect. I think that the content in the campaign can easily be explained within the biographical article for the foreseeable future, and a merger would not cause any article-size or weighting problems in the candidate’s main article. It is not clear whether the campaign will obtain enough note down the road to warrant its own article, but it is not useful to have a stub article at this moment. I am not opposed to a future spinning-off/re-creation of the campaign article if there later becomes sufficiently more to write about the campaign, but for now I believe the stub-article on the campaign serves no use and there is not enough to expand the article beyond what is now contained in it. I am in the process of making similar requests for some other 2024 campaign articles.

message: Presidential campaign went nowhere.  191 votes and he's out pbp 19:52, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose I actually do believe his campaign should be a separate entity because he garnered significant media attention and participated in one debate. Regardless of the vote total, I think a lot of people knew he was running and simply refused to vote for him MoMoChohan (talk) 13:50, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

text: Support The criteria for notability should consider the lasting impact of the campaign. I believe the campaign's influence is primarily tied to Hutchinson's overall political profile rather than standing as a defining, separate entity in political history. The campaign's significance can be adequately covered within his main article.   In response to the comment re: the size of the article, much of the expanded content (particularly regarding Hutchinson's policy positions) can be effectively and appropriately consolidated into the main Asa Hutchinson article. Some of the policy positions listed underscore his political ideology/career as a whole, not just within the context of the 2024 campaign. Svenskbygderna (talk) 00:50, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

text: Unsure/lean Oppose Is there any precedent for how well a candidate has to do to warrant their campaign getting it's own page? His campaign definitely has enough media coverage and poll presence (0% is still a presence) for this page to exist, but seeing how badly he did I have doubts. Scu ba (talk) 16:30, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

text: Support not because he had no chance but because the majority of the article is made of Hutchinson's political positions, which would fit better in his article especially since most sources refer to before his campaign began. The actual "campaign" section feels to small to keep on its own and would fit well into the main article as well. DukeOfDelTaco (talk) 10:56, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text:  That is not true. While that may be the largest section, the Campaign section is quite large as well. Besides, while the positions would fit into the main article, they are also useful information for the person's campaign. QuicoleJR (talk) 13:35, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed merge of [[Asa Hutchinson 2024 presidential campaign]] into [[Asa Hutchinson]] 

message: This is the guy who as the 8th Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration spent untold thousands, perhaps millions, going after people in hospice and people with AIDS and cancer and other illnesses who used free cannabis that was supplied by cooperative farms who made no profit.  Not a word mentioned in this article, yet I'm reading all about it many different books.  This is a complete and total whitewash of his disastrous record as both a public servant and as an American who repeatedly and willfully violated the individual rights of US citizens for no known reason or benefit to the country other than to perpetuate mass suffering and pain.  Just a total whitewash ignoring what he's done to the country. Viriditas (talk) 01:48, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not a word about cannabis 

message: I just read that when he was governor in 2022, his state was ranked 
* third biggest drug problem in the US
* second in opioid pain reliever prescriptions per 100 people
* seventh in drug arrests per capita
* 10th in share of adults who couldn’t get treatment for illicit drug use in the past year
Why isn’t any of this discussed in this article? For someone who has spent so many years waging war against drugs as his major pet policy, he has almost nothing to show for it.  This indicates that his policies either don’t work or actually make the problem worse. Viriditas (talk) 02:34, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
