Standing Rules of the United States Senate, Rule XXIII

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable outside of Standing Rules of the United States Senate. Not enough info to merit its own article. Mr. Guye (talk) 03:42, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Standing Rules of the United States Senate, which could use some expansion. bd2412  T 04:05, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Keep or merge; if kept, rename to privilege of the floor of the United States Senate). It's a stub and does need expansion, but the "privilege of the floor" of the Senate has a long history and adequate discussion in sources, e.g.:
 * Precedents Relating to the Privileges of the Senate of the United States (1893 Senate report)
 * Selected Privileges and Courtesies Extended to Former Members of Congress (2014 Congressional Research Service report briefly discussing floor privileges extended to former senators, with exceptions for lobbyists, and exceptions to exceptions)
 * Riddick 1992) - Floyd M. Riddick's commentary on privileges of the floor of the Senate)
 * Senate historical website: discussing long history of topic: "The matter of Senate Chamber floor access for non-members has provoked controversy for as long as there has been a Senate Chamber. ..." --Neutralitytalk 04:08, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Why not merge until it has been expanded enough to support an article? bd2412  T 11:14, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, I've revised my vote to "keep or merge." Neutralitytalk 16:03, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Keep/Merge?
 * Keep The article needs to be expanded, but I see no need to merge. I'm fine with renaming too. --David Tornheim (talk) 03:10, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect and possibly expand if needed in the future, but see no need to delete. Seraphim System  ( talk ) 17:44, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect per BD2412. This article gives no real information about what the content of the rule is. It would be better if the article Standing Rules of the United States Senate summarized the content of the rules rather than just listing their titles. If there are rules that require full articles to describe their content and implications, those can be broken out separately later. But this article consists at present of only two sentences of uninformative prose. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:23, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
