Splitting up this article

CA-10 from 2002-2012

This article is very confusing, in no small part because of the redistricting that occurs after every U.S. Census. It seems to me that there should be four articles:

California's 10th congressional district (2012-present) - information about the current version with Stanislaus County, Tracy and Manteca. - The material about the 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018 elections, as well as brief WP:summary style descriptions of Jeff Denham's and Josh Harder's respective tenures would go here.
California's 10th congressional district (2002-2012) - this would become the overview article for the prior District 10, centered in Contra Costa County- The material about the 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, and 2010 elections, as well as brief WP:summary style descriptions of Ellen Tauscher's and John Garamendi's respective tenures would go here.
California's 10th congressional district (historic) - Most of the current content of the page. All of the prose about the 10th district before the 2003 redistricting
California's 10th congressional district - this would become the overview article for the three articles above (or maybe a disambiguation page)

Here's some prose that I wrote for the Jeff Denham article earlier today:

The newer 10th district includes all of Stanislaus county and the southern portion of San Joaquin county (including Tracy and Manteca). It shares some northwestern portions of the old 19th district (e.g. Turlock, Riverbank, Oakdale, and the rest of northeastern Stanislaus county) but also shares much of the 2003-2013 version of the 18th District (including Modesto, Ceres, and the southwestern half of Stanislaus county).[1]

[1] This map of the 2003-2013 18th district from nationalatlas.gov shows that the current 10th district includes the much of the northern portion of the old 18th district

Jeff Denham originally represented CA-19. From 2002 to 2012, CA-19 covered parts of Fresno, Madera, Mariposa, Tuolumne, and Stanislaus counties.

You'll note that the California's 10th congressional district (2002-2012) (which I'll call "CA-10-2002" for purposes of this discussion) and California's 10th congressional district (2012-present) (CA-10-2012) have very little in common with one another due to the 2012 redistricting, which made big changes to the map. Both Republican Jeff Denham and Democrat John Garamendi were able to get reelected in 2012, even though Denham switched from the 19th (CA-19-2002) to the 10th (CA-10-2012), and Garamendi switched from the 10th (CA-10-2002) to the 3rd distrct (CA-03-2012). CA-10-2002 and CA-03-2012 had way more in common (both physically and politically) than the two most recent iterations of the district known as the "10th district" (CA-10-2002 and CA-10-2012). CA-19-2002 and CA-10-2012 also have way more in common than the old and new "10th"; since Stanislaus County was split in half between CA-18-2002 and CA-19-2002. CA-10-2002 was miles away from Stanislaus County, separated by Altamont Pass.

I'm very tempted to start writing Draft:California's 10th congressional district (2012-present), with an eventual plan to rename California's 10th congressional district to California's 10th congressional district (historic). That would keep the edit history over at the "(historic)" version of the article, and then the other three articles would be new articles. We could spin off earlier versions (e.g. an article about CA-10-1992) if we really needed to, but I suspect the "(historic)" article would be good enough.
