Merger Discussion[edit]

Request received to merge articles: Hill Committee into Political party committee; dated: May 2024.

I believe merging the pages would allow for greater clarity and context to how political parties operate in the United States, as there is significant overlap in how they are regulated, how they function, and how they are studied.

The FEC and campaign finance law categorize the "Hill Committees" (DCCC, DSCC, NRCC, and NRSC) as "party committees" in the same category as the DNC, RNC, and state parties. All of the organizations are subject to the same contribution limits and regulations with regard to candidate support and independent expenditures, as well in how funds are raised. Furthermore, the groups are frequently combined for the purposes of academic studies of party committees.

Each individual committee has its own wikipedia page to outline more specific functions and history. The history of the four Hill committees as a group is not substantially different from the other political party committees so as to require its own page.

Proposed merge of Committeemen and committeewomen into Political party committee[edit]

I haven't been able to find any sources that would indicate that committeemen and committeewomen is a notable topic in its own right, or that that article could ever be more than a WP:dictionary definition. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 13:45, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No objections, so I've gone ahead and done this. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 16:58, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
