Talk:Pay Our Military Act

Proposed deletion
For reasons that I am unclear on, someone recently proposed deleting this article because "there is a general consensus that bills that are not enacted don't get articles." There are several problems with this. First and foremost, this bill did in fact already become a law. It is a law. Therefore, it passes that criteria. Second, who decided that - what general consensus, where, and when? If ten people agreed five years ago that that would be their rule, we don't have to follow it. Finally, bills have long shelf lives. If this bill had not been enacted, it would still be inappropriate to delete, at least until Jan 2015. Until that time, any bill still has a chance to pass. Thanks.HistoricMN44 (talk) 03:42, 5 October 2013 (UTC)


 * This sounds like a confusion. First, I think the proper guidance for whether something gets an article is actually WP:Notability.   Second I would point out Equal Rights Amendment as a disproof, an example of unpassed things which are still notable.  Markbassett (talk) 21:39, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
