Title section[edit]

Claytie vs. The Lady was an actual nickname given to the election during the campaign. Can you provide any verifiable source for the other title being used during 1990? Ratemonth (talk) 22:16, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removing OR tag[edit]

Someone flagged this claim as original research:

As of 2022, this was the most recent gubernatorial election in which both major parties' gubernatorial nominees are deceased.

WP:NOTOR states "Compiling related facts and information from independent sources is part of writing an encyclopedia." There are reliable sources for the birth and death dates of all major party gubernatorial nominees, and aggregating them to determine that 1990 is the most recent election for which the nominees are both deceased. I'm removing the OR flag, but adding clarification that this applies only to Texas elections and doesn't extend to gubernatorial elections of other states. --Heath 45.3.75.7 (talk) 15:42, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
