* I don't get why this article's been re-created; I can't find any particularly significant coverage of Sheehy that has passed into SIGCOV territory. Since the old article has now been turned into a redirect, what's the next course of action; AFD for the third time?

Not sure if the circumstances have changed since the last AfD, since Sheehy has attracted significantly more media coverage (though not cited here). Pinging previous participants: Muboshgu, Enos733, Tbennert, Radiohist, Intothatdarkness, Ser!, Wikishovel, BottleOfChocolateMilk, and SportingFlyer.

I'm still in the Delete camp, at least until after the election. Intothatdarkness 15:42, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I still believe this should remain a redirect. - Enos733 (talk) 16:10, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not opposed to a redirect. But I still don't think he needs his own article. Intothatdarkness 17:35, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
