Talk:Infrastructure policy of the Joe Biden administration

Merge with American Jobs Plan
Two stubby articles that can be apart one day, but at this point it's too early and both need a lot of work. Ribbet32 (talk) 17:24, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

The American Rescue Plan was a stubby article, but was not mixed with Covid 19 in Biden's administration. Make a sub article under Infrastructure policy of Biden, but leave this page alone. Moleoz (talk) 11:56, 10 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Oppose: The plan itself certainly merits its own page. This would be somewhat similar to suggesting the Affordable Care Act should be merged into Health care reforms proposed during the Obama administration. Jaydavidmartin (talk) 22:43, 25 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Support, as this article is little more than a fluffy bit that was written during the time Biden was running for president, with pretty vague aspirational policy hopes, and has little good content. Having said that, I recognize the quite plausible position of Jaydavidmartin above, and would be happy to see editors choose to do the hard work to make this article better.  If not, I suppose we can just gradually clean up/delete the fluffy and poorly sourced stuff in this article.  Cheers.  N2e (talk) 04:52, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Where is the Wikipedia explication of the late-March 2021 large infrastructure plans that Biden administration is proposing?
Where is the Wikipedia explication of the late-March 2021 large infrastructure plans that Biden administration is proposing? Have seen some news articles that large proposals were made a week or two ago, and finding this article strangely missing all of that. No sources since Jan 2021; and a number of totally empty and fully-unsourced sections. Weird. N2e (talk) 21:58, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
 * N2e I agree and have tagged the article to highlight update issue. Feel free to add the content if you wish.Phillip Samuel (talk) 21:32, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Why does this article suck so bad?
Seriously, what the heck? The Biden administration has put forward an infrastructure bill that has already passed the Senate that is (adjusted for inflation) bigger than Eisenhower's interstate highway bill! It's a huge deal and this page doesn't even mention it!
 * User:75.175.105.130 In milder terms, I agree and have tagged the article with an update template. Feel free to add more content if you wish. Phillip Samuel (talk) 21:30, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I propose merging Build Back Better Plan into Infrastructure policy of the Joe Biden administration. I think the content in the former can easily be explained in the context of the latter, and a merger would not cause any article-size or weighting problems in the latter.Phillip Samuel (talk) 20:23, 24 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I disagree with this because the BBB Plan also includes a COVID-relief bill, not to mention the Build Back Better Act which includes health care measures, etc., which aren't strictly infrastructure. Also, I just merged from the articles for the now-obsolete American Jobs & American Families parts of the agenda, so there's quite a bit that would be excessive to include here. This should be an overview – keeping in mind that the administration still has over 3 years to pursue other infrastructure endeavors. UpdateNerd (talk) 10:19, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Oddly enough I planned but forgot to act yesterday (1 week wait period), and I noticed you voiced your opposition to this. I mildly agree with your previous merger and take your arguments. Overall I'm inclined to withdraw my merger proposal. Phillip Samuel (talk) 16:10, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Definitely not. Welfare is not infrastructure under any reasonable definition, and most reliable sources simply call it a "social policy" bill nowadays instead. Bill Williams 16:51, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Nomination for Deletion
Proposed deletion of Infrastructure policy of the Joe Biden administration

The article Infrastructure policy of the Joe Biden administration has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Entirety of contents are already included in Build Back Better Plan and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, while this article includes around a thousand views per month average against multiple thousand on the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs act article and tens of thousands of views on Build Back Better Plan"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Bill Williams 17:27, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 * All aspects of this page are included in the two aforementioned articles besides the cancellation of the Keystone XL Pipeline, which is stated in Environmental policy of the Joe Biden administration. Bill Williams 17:31, 14 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom, this page is outdated and redundant, and future infrastructure policies can be better addressed in articles about the specific legislation. Carguychris (talk) 14:54, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
 * since someone removed the proposed deletion, I have nominated it at AfD . Bill Williams 20:29, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Reason being "Entirety of contents are already included in Build Back Better Plan, Build Back Better Act, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and Environmental policy of the Joe Biden administration, all of which have much more information that is better written than this article."
