There doesn't appear to be any significant coverage of this subject in independent reliable sources, although there are several mere mentions, as well as coverage by Taiwanese government sources that I would hesitate to call "independent". Since the subject is a caucus within the US government, I'm not sure whether it's appropriate to judge it by WP:NORG (which it certainly fails). If we are to merely judge it against WP:GNG, I am still leaning toward it not being notable based on a lack of coverage in RS, but this is a much weaker case. Another version of this article was deleted via PROD about a year ago with the concern Does not meet WP:NORG. I am unable to locate sources that discuss the topic directly and in detail, apart from the fact that the caucus exists.. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 22:10, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep this nomination is flawed because it misses an important look at how Wikipedia treats this topic already. The US Senate is clearly notable but the main article can not reasonably contain all the Caucus/Congressional caucus subdivisions of the body. There are many examples of the similar pages Afterschool Caucuses, International Narcotics Control Caucus, United States Senate Republican Conference, Senate Oceans Caucus, Senate Ukraine Caucus, Outlying Areas Senate Presidents Caucus, Tea Party Caucus (one of the most famous), Liberty Caucus, Congressional Steel Caucus, Congressional Progressive Caucus, Senate Caucus on Missing, Exploited and Runaway Children, Senate Economic Mobility Caucus, Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus, Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Congressional Black Caucus, Freedom Caucus, Rare Disease Caucus, United States House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children and so on.

Keep It's notable. Not sure WP:Before was carried out properly since I do see at least three pieces in reliable, independent sources that are (at least in significant part) about them (1 2 3) FOARP (talk) 13:13, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Withdraw additional sources demonstrate notability. I'm as surprised as you are that they didn't show up when searching. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 14:05, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
