Noxubee County Democratic Executive Committee

 * – ( View View log  Stats )

WP:COATRACK article for describing a single WP:EVENT (United States v. Ike Brown). Mentions of topic in books are limited to passing mentions and/or WP:FRINGE conspiracy theories. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 21:12, 13 January 2018 (UTC) (edited 04:57, 14 January 2018 (UTC); see below)
 * Comment: I would also support a redirect and merge of some content, after appropriate pruning, to . The New York Times, along with the one decent book source shown in GBooks, describe the topic in this context. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 23:16, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Move to United States v. Ike Brown; the sources above, plus the articles mentioned below by Mendaliv, seem to show that the court case is notable, but not the County Democratic Committee itself. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 04:57, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep but move I don't think there's enough about the organization itself to merit an article. It's been the litigation that attracted the attention. There's significant legal scholarship on this case, as well as a small but decent body of caselaw citing it and its appeal. The coverage in these academic articles taken with the general media coverage ought to overcome GNG at least.   Also, the long opinion the article cites is presumably at 494 F. Supp. 2d 440 (S.D. Miss. 2007). This opinion was affirmed on appeal at 561 F.3d 420 (5th Cir. 2009). There are also a trio of unpublished district court opinions: 2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 49834; 2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 53916; 2007 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 63228. I don't have WestLaw citations for those. —/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 02:27, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

 * I came here from the WP:LAW talk page. What y'all write above makes good sense from an outsider's perspective, i.e., you all present clear, logical reasons for a merge. (By "outsider" I mean that I lack the in-depth knowledge you all possess.)   - Mark D Worthen PsyD   (talk)  18:52, 17 January 2018 (UTC)


 * This article isn't really about the Noxubee County Democratic Executive Committee at all, but about the case. Move to United States v. Ike Brown, with redirect in place, add link in Voting Rights Act of 1965.  There's already sufficient mention in Noxubee County, Mississippi.Jacona (talk) 20:03, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Rename to United States v. Ike Brown as per above. The committee likely isn't notable, but all the content is about the case. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 04:46, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
