Safe Climate Act

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article should be deleted. Bills from previous Congresses that never became law don't warrant inclusion on Wikipedia, since there are at least 4000 every year. There was no contention, major endorsements, or even legislative movement on this bill. THOMAS is the appropriate location for a permanent record of it, not Wikipedia.

Weak delete - While it's true that bills which never became law don't warrant inclusion on WP, this bill seems to have gotten a decent amount of coverage in mainstream media, as evidenced in a google news search. The coverage seems to have significantly waned lately, which is what pushed my !vote to delete, as the notability of this bill appears to be temporary. Also, the external link to the house.gov site appears to be dead. SnottyWong talk 12:10, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This article starts with the words "The Safe Climate Act (HR.1590) is a climate change bill". Surely that means that the article title, unless and until it gets passed, should be "Safe Climate Bill"? I'm more familiar with parliamentary procedures in the UK, but I'm still pretty sure that in the US nothing becomes an act until it has been passed by Congress and had whatever the equivalent term is for the royal assent.

Delete - while some proposed laws (Bills) could be notable, this is not. 24.97.138.94 (talk) 18:44, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
