Notability

edit

Hello, For the time being, I’ve taken the liberty of removing the “notability” tag at the top of the article, because I believe that at this time the article establishes sufficient notability to justify its removal, for two reasons. The committee:

  1. received coverage from Politico and Reason at the time of its accreditation by the FEC
  2. marked the first time in American political history that the FEC formally recognized a third party's campaign committee. It continues to be recognized by the FEC

Additionally, the article is now much more in-depth than the articles corresponding to the Democratic and Republican equivalents (though of course I’m not claiming that the GSCC is more notable than they are!).

However, I can certainly see the opposing side here too: there isn’t much independent coverage of the committee after about 2007, and for that matter, the committee's site hasn’t been updated for several years. Therefore, if someone wishes to re-add the notability tag to the article, or to further dispute its notability, I won’t seriously contest it (especially since, in a worst-case scenario, the info could be merged into the main Green Party article).

Thanks for your time, — Historical-idealist (talk) 21:37, 9 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
