NEED Act

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable failed bill. Unlike NESARA, it (and any fictional counterparts) do not have significant commentary in reliable or notable sources. Almost all the article is interpretation of the text of the bill sourced to the bill, and some commentary about the subject of the bill (eliminating fractional reserve banking), not the bill, itself. I have seen little evidence that there is anything else. I would add that the fact, mentioned on the article talk page, the bill was proposed in previous sessions of Congress should be in the article, but I'm not sure that we can find a reliable source for that, either. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 18:11, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. Generally agree with nominator. Major problems with article include original research and extreme reliance on primary sources. I did a web search and found little; there was an op-ed piece in the Huffington Post. There was discussion in the Epoch Times which looks like a fringe publication; the Washington Post had a vote tally here. Not much else, suggesting to me it does not meet the general notability guideline, but I may change my vote if more sources can be found, and the article trimmed substantially.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 13:57, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - tens of thousands of bills like this one die in committee every two years; since the defeat of Eric Cantor yesterday, this bill is even less likely to pass. The Epoch Times is a free newspaper distributed via boxes on street corners in New York City, Canada, and other places.  IMHO it fails WP:RS.  Amongst other weird topics, it pushes the conspiracy theory that John Liu is a commie. Bearian (talk) 21:20, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
