To closing admin: "the article offers no secondary sources" this is not a valid reason for deletion. Per WP:BEFORE it doesn't matter if sources are present in the article. What matters is are there sources available on Google or elsewhere? This !vote should be discounted. – Lionel(talk) 21:40, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - my BEFORE check comes up with a couple of articles on it, but no reliable source. It would seem that non-enacted law would fall under GNG, and it does not meet those requirements. Nosebagbear (talk) 19:40, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - There are very few available independent sources. This subject could become notable in the future, but for now, the bill is in committee and may very well die on the vine.- MrX 🖋 20:59, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: this nomination is way, way off the mark. Without much effort I found numerous independent reliable sources with significant coverage establishing notability under WP:GNG. In fact, it took longer to write this comment than to find the sources.
  1. The Oklahoman
  2. The Daily Signal
  3. Deseret News
  4. The Hill
  5. Washington Post
Now, before you complain that some of the sources are partisan, you should read WP:BIASED which explicitly permits partisan sources. Editors !voting here must follow WP:BIASED and not disqualify sources because of a preconceived notion that they are biased. – Lionel(talk) 21:26, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
