Keep possibly fancruft, but if one googles using this search string of national news sources, there are about 15 sources; there are probably more using different search sweeps, particularly using news sources in Dean's home state. Still, the article could possibly be trimmed.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 20:01, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Notable list of Democratic Party candidates endorsed by Howard Dean for election to various offices in targeted races. I follow American politics closely, and I was not aware of Dean's endorsements and organizational and financial support of Democrat candidates. The existing article does not do justice to the subject and requires some work in terms of describing the activities of Dean's program and better in-line sourcing. That having been said, my Google and Google News Archive searches revealed multiple mainstream media sources discussing the "Dean Dozen" program, as well as the individual candidates that Dean supported through the program, sufficient to support the notability of this list/article per the general notability guidelines of WP:GNG and WP:NLIST. I hope a knowledgeable editor will take this on as a weekend project and significantly upgrade this article. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 09:27, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If the article stays I'll try to revamp it, although I'm not a particularly knowledgeable editor, although I'm a student at the greatest university in the world.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 11:17, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I guess maybe it is cruft in its current state, but it seems notable enough. It gets covered in this book, this book, and at Highbeam Research, such as here and here. I think a credible article could be written on this topic; if not, then we can have a merge discussion on the talk page later. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:03, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
delete - open to article being recreated in the future; requires far more work than can simply be suggested in an AfD BlueSalix (talk) 05:08, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
