Appears to be largely a duplicate of Faithless elector revolt in the United States presidential election, 2016. Perhaps could become a redirect. So many other potential issue but I'll stick with that for now. TheCrazedBeast (talk) 02:27, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

• Redirect Hang googles (talk) 05:35, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Redirect, the page should be changed to a redirect to the faithless elector 2016 page. --Frmorrison (talk) 15:04, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

• Redirect (with a note that the "revolt" page has now been renamed Faithless electors in the United States presidential election, 2016.) --Nat Gertler (talk) 16:37, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

OK so I'm not clear on protocol with this. Should I remove the AfD and ask you all to go add your commentary to the redirect suggestion I put on Talk:Hamilton_Electors? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheCrazedBeast (talk • contribs) 20:56, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

No, you should encourage the dissenter there to move here. Broadly speaking, an AFD discussion carries more weight than a talk page discussion. --Nat Gertler (talk) 21:57, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Nat Gertler! I added an entry there to suggest contributing here.TheCrazedBeast (talk) 22:58, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

• Redirect, then merge: It would seem that "Hamilton Electors" should be a section of its own, within the Faithless electors in the United States presidential election, 2016; whereas by the time that the Electoral vote occurs, perhaps not all revolting Electors will be under the banner of the Hamilton group. ^Knowledge_Battle ^(Talk) | ^Godless_Infidel ︻╦╤── 07:14, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
• Keep. I do think this article (Hamilton Electors) should be kept, simply because the name Hamilton Electors has become popular and someone trying to find a citation on that term would not necessarily know to look under the term "electoral revolt" or "faithless elector". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.249.144.58 (talk) 23:24, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

That's what a "redirect" does - when people look up Hamilton Electors, it will send them to the right article. That way, we don't have to have two different articles for the same thing with two names. --Nat Gertler (talk) 00:21, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

• Redirect. Unnecessary duplicate of the other page. It's already discussed there. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 07:01, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
