Only notable for being a failed candidate in the 2022 United States Senate election in Colorado; there is no significant coverage of him outside of the context of that election. Elli (talk | contribs) 00:27, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

- Redirect to 2022 United States Senate election in Colorado as an appropriate and usual outcome for candidates for the US Senate. --Enos733 (talk) 02:42, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect I'm inclined to agree with Enos733. Articles like this New York Times piece and others surrounding the race would probably be enough to make O'Dea notable, but almost all of them discuss him in the context of the race itself, so there is probably no need for him to have his own page for now.

- We should also do the same for this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephanie_Trussell Putitonamap98 (talk) 15:49, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
*Delete candidates of election or a nominee for the 2022 United States Senate election in Colorado, does not pass Wikipedia:NPOL.AndrewYuke (talk) 12:57, 18 November 2022 (UTC) - strike sock - Beccaynr (talk) 00:38, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect (or merge if anyone thinks anything needs to be merged over) per above. This is less a question of notability than a WP:NOPAGE issue: everything that needs to be said about O'Dea can be said on the election page, so we can exercise our "editorial judgment" to have one stand-alone page instead of two. If O'Dea does something else that attracts RS coverage in the future, then it would of course be fine to split the article out again at that point.
