State chairs

edit

The names and identities of these state chairs are, in fact, plenty newsworthy. There is an abundance of information regarding the CRNC available and so there are actually countless experts on the CRNC these days. Sir, it is those experts who made the page the way it is today. And they will accuse you of defacing it too. Joseph T McCarthy 00:10, 30 June 2006

Please answer the following questions:
  • Is there some difference between a "name" and an "identity", and, if so, can you point to somewhere in the article where each is shown for a given state chair? (And if you're using the term "identity" to mean "website", please note that I did NOT delete the links to the state websites.)
  • Why are you talking about experts, when the discussion is about a bunch of names and a few URLs in the article? In what way does one have to be an "expert" to post bits of data (not even complete sentences) to wikipedia?
  • How can the list be newsworthy when it appears not to even be on the CRNC website?
  • In what way does the list meet the wikipedia criteria for being verifiable, if there is no central list, and those doing the edits aren't posting any links to show their source?
  • In what way is the list "newsworthy" other than being of interest to College Republicans and their families and friends?
  • Why should anyone expect that the list is current, given the lack of a central source to verify it against?

Hey, let's go ahead and keep their names on the list, and make sure they get updated every year. Should be fun and useful in a few years when one of them turns out to be the next Jack Abramoff. ;) KWH 07:03, 1 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
I disagree. The lsit of state chairs is not very useful information.Eshatologist 08:37, 11 Dec 2006 (UTC)

Who can partipate in the "debate"?

edit

Joseph T McCarthy - You said in your last edit summary let's please keep this debate to persons aware of the reasons for/against having national board members listed here. Not too much to ask. If you know of a wikipedia policy that recommends that only those "aware" of an issue should participate in a debate, please provide a link here. Do you think that I'm one of those people, or are you saying that I don't have any right to delete the names? (And, by the way, the preferred term is "discussion", not "debate".)

Scandals

edit

Let's get a section about different CRNC scandals over the years. I will work on this when I get a chance.

  • The University of Michigan "Fun with Guns" episode that the RNC Chair denounced
  • The direct mail scandal with Response Dynamics Inc.
  • Congressman McHenry harassing anti-Gourley delegates

All of these gained significant media attention, so they are valid as far as I'm concerned.Eshatologist 07:03, 1 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Anyone want to mention how they went from 52 federations to about 12 in only 4 years? --70.184.119.177 (talk) 20:01, 24 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:College Republicans which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 03:15, 27 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
