Canada and the 2004 U.S. presidential election

I wouldn't normally list such a long page on VfD, but I think that this page 1) Is unnecessary 2) Is so unencyclopedic, biased, and lacking NPOV that it's nearly unsalvageable, and 3) Could only be effective if placed in the context of the worldwide view of the upcoming election.

Consider the first sentence: "While the entire world is paying attention to the 2004 U.S. presidential election, no country is doing so more than Canada." Aside from the NPOV problems, a page on the Canadian view of the 2004 election is just too specialized to be effective.

• Abstain. It is, in large part, glaringly NPOV, but the comments about Canadian-resident US voters are probably worthwhile. Bits and pieces look mergeable, but I haven't a clue where they could go. --Aponar Kestrel (talk) 23:09, 2004 Sep 30 (UTC)

• Keep. At present it is ridiculously POV and pro-Kerry (e.g. it does not even mention the various arguments made by Canadian newspapers against Kerry for his protectionist urges). However, I think that the historical, linguistic and cultural connections between Canada and the U.S. are such that an article detailing Canada's specific response to the event deserves to exist. The article is its present form sucks, but that's a reason to hack it up, not delete it. --Saforrest 23:17, Sep 30, 2004 (UTC)
