:Suppose this doesn't become an obstacle for identifying caucuses and collecting enough information about them to start articles. How do we keep having the list broken down by current activity levels from becoming a maintenance headache, terribly out of date, or both? As it becomes longer and longer, how do we reduce the risk of the same caucus getting listed multiple times because the contributor adding it to active couldn't find that it was listed as having disbanded? -- [[User:Strangelv|Strangelv]] ([[User talk:Strangelv|talk]]) 10:27, 27 August 2017 (CDT) | :Suppose this doesn't become an obstacle for identifying caucuses and collecting enough information about them to start articles.

::A group is a caucus of LP if at different times it makes an attempt to influence policy, especially at the state or national level. However, we should divide it into Existing and Historical groups, based on activities at relevant group links or reference links. And remove any group that has no credible reference link to the fact that it has ever existed. Anyone can start a FB group with 20 likes and call it a caucus, so let's not encourage them if they are a one person show. | |||
::Since I've been in LP for 38 years and am familiar with a lot of these, I boldly will do so next time I take an interest in this list. And I'll list the ones I think are pretty much un-defendable here, in case people want to do some research and re-add them. | |||
:Also I might have made a few formatting or consistency boo boos today and will clean them up tomorrow. [[User:LP-1979|LP-1979]] ([[User talk:LP-1979|talk]]) 15:42, 16 October 2017 (CDT) | |||
