 == Redirect of U.S. presidential election, 2012 == 

 Please see ""Election 2012"" in .  Basically, the 2012 election was deleted after a VfD.  Unfortunately, this article would then get recreated by a user who wasn't aware of the VfD and didn't know why the community had decided that this wasn't a good article to create.  So, I figured that a good solution was to create a redirect that would let new users know immediately why the page wasn't to be recreated. 

 On the other hand, a redirect to U.S. presidential election, 2004 makes very little sense.  If you want to redirect to the last presidential election page, that would be 2008.  Either way is still highly confusing to your average user who will want to know why there isn't an article there, why they can't start one, and why the article is locked down. 

 Could you please revert your change?  Thanks,  —  "
