I am nominating this for featured list because I feel that these types of lists on United States presidential elections have a great potential to be FL. I almost completely re-formatted the list, added a lead, and key for political parties. It lists all the elections in which Arizona participated, with votes and percentage. I would respond to every comment, and try to bring this nomination to FL standards whenever needed. With one of the list (United States presidential elections in Alaska) currently a FLC, with a support, and reviewer's concerns have been substantially addressed, I nominate this too. Thanks!

Comments from ChrisTheDude

  • "William Howard Taft was on the fourth position" => "William Howard Taft finished fourth" or "William Howard Taft finished in fourth position", but not what you have currently (same in note b)
  • Is there any way to avoid having four consecutive sentences starting with "In the 19xx presidential election"?
  • "Since the 1952 presidential election, Arizona was considered" => "Since the 1952 presidential election, Arizona has been considered"
  • Notes c and d need full stops
  • That's what I got -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:01, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from RunningTiger123

Two small things:

  • Given its notability, it might be worth linking 2021 Maricopa County presidential ballot audit somewhere in the lead. (Of course, we also have a lot of coverage of the 2020 election in the lead, so if it can't be noted in just a few words, it might be better to keep it out.)
  • "recent political realignment led to Arizona becoming a swing state" → "recent political realignment has led some to consider Arizona as a swing state" (hedges a bit, but one election probably isn't enough to determine long-term trends)

@RunningTiger123 Done the second one, left the first point, as we already have lot about 2020. Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 10:17, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Reywas92

  • Like Alaska, start the article with its topic, it doesn't need to be pointed out what region the state is in.
  • "percentage of vote share" is redundant since vote share is implied to be a percentage.
  • "by 42.92%" implies a margin so "a margin of" is superfluous.

Promoting. --PresN 13:51, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • @PresN – May I just bring to your notice that this has been promoted without a formal Source review. Now, in various other lists which you promoted without an source review, you mentioned that "Source review pass, promoting". Is that the same case here? Thanks anyways! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 14:01, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks, yeah, I did check the sources before promoting. --PresN 14:34, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
