Delete

1. Whoever it was that put the delete template on the page wrote, "Out of office, irrelevant to state politics or RW mission." Spud (talk) 12:44, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
2. Questionable relevance to the mission. There are only three other articles that link to this one. Perhaps he was relevant in 2008 but no more. I recommend removing and changing the three other links to WP links. --Cosmikdebris (talk) 15:43, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
3. Loser article.-President Donald J. Trump ^{Mr. USA, build up this wall!} 20:40, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
4. There's so little here that it could be merged into the GOP article. Ah gaht yer historical perspective right heah I like historical articles but I'm scratching my head as to how this guy is unique or important. We had celebrity pols before him (James J. Walker).

Keep

1. Clearly missional and informative, no reason to delete a perfectly good article - David Gerard (talk) 20:32, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
2. I like this historical perspective. It's like the article on Charles Coughlin in that it provides historical depth by example to a current phenomenon. Bunning is useful as a reminder that the entertainer turned wingnut turned politician is not a new thing. ScepticWombat (talk) 10:58, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
