Talk:Caucus
[edit] Delete
keep - Background information about politics. Since discussions of politics will at least sometimes be on-mission (and even when they aren't, many editors will be pleased to engage in them anyway), I think it isn't harmful to have some such articles. Too much politics fluff should be avoided, e.g. articles on every minor politican or candidate or law or so on. (This isn't Ballotpedia or 538.com or whatnot). But, broad/high-level info about politics like this should be fine. Although this article is very US-centric; we have a 'caucus' in Australia too, but it means something very different - our Labor party uses it to mean a meeting of all MPs in that party in a given legislature (state or federal). Other parties have the same idea, but e.g. the Liberals or Nationals they don't have the same term (they just call it the 'party room'); not sure what minor parties do. I'm sure the same concept exists in the US too (i.e. meetings of all Congressional Democrats or all Congressional Republicans, or equivalent for state legislatures), although I guess they must have their own term for it again. --Zack Martin
