Split into two articles
This article deals with two distinct things: Apart from both being called "blue slip", and both relating to the U.S. Congress (but to different houses), they have nothing to do with one another. I propose to split them into two articles, one for each subject. The Senate topic appears to be the more primary of the two(and was the sole subject of the article until the material on the House blue slip was added about a year after the article on the Senate blue slip was created), so I propose to split the House-related content out to Blue slip (U.S. House of Representatives) while retaining this article as the unadorned Blue slip article, with a redirect Blue slip (U.S. Senate). Any objections? TJRC (talk) 20:30, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The U.S. House of Representatives' process of maintaining its constitutional prerogative of introducing all revenue bills;
 * The U.S. Senate's mechanism by which the senators from a judicial nominee's home state may block confirmation of that nominee.
 * I support the split, in the fashion TJRC has outlined. Activist (talk) 12:40, 18 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Would it be prudent to have this page as a dab page, split to Blue slip (U.S. House of Representatives), and merge Blue slip (U.S. Senate) with Senatorial courtesy?

 * , I think that's an even better solution, except that the present article should remain titled Blue slip instead of Blue slip (U.S. House of Representatives), sinec there would be only one Blue slip article. A hatnote could refer readers to Senatorial courtesy for that topic. TJRC (talk) 01:42, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Except that I agree the Senate topic appears to be the primary topic, hence the WP:DAB page. However, either way appears more efficient than what we have, and you have had no objections in 3 months, so WP:BEBOLD and close the deal using your best judgement.
