The result was redirect‎ to 2006 United States Senate election in Washington#Democratic primary. Unclear whether first V-A has been verified, nor whether that would constitute notability. History remains under the redirect should facts change. Star Mississippi 02:36, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Minor candidate for office. Fails WP:BIO, only media coverage is in the context of being a long-shot candidate. Chajusong (talk) 18:24, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to 2006_United_States_Senate_election_in_Washington#Democratic_primary. Wow FIVE percent!? All coverage is regarding the losing campaign, so best covered in the election article. Reywas92^Talk 22:17, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I was all set to redirect this article but then noticed that this is the 2nd AFD for this page. So, I'm relisting to ensure adequate consideration of its fate.

Question: Has anyone checked out if any other sources confirm the first Vietnamese-American to run for U.S. Senate claim? If it's true, this article may be worth keeping. If it's not true, then I'd probably vote delete. TulsaPoliticsFan (talk) 19:14, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I went over all the Senate races from 1996 to 2004, and did not find any Vietnamese-american (or at least anyone with a Vietnamese-sounding last name). It's not definitive, but Hong does seem to be the first Vietnamese-american to run for the Senate. Tutwakhamoe (talk) 23:20, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
