why I deleted Mel Gibson
::I disagree. The paragraph is a good summary of the state of the GOP today. [[User:RJJensen|RJJensen]] 17:43, 9 July 2009 (EDT)

:::But the article is meant as an encyclopedia article on the GOP, not a news article. The paragraph in question contains information that is not notable, and the corresponding facts from 1895 wouldn't make it into the article. [[User:Concernedchris|Concernedchris]] 07:28, 21 July 2009 (EDT)

==Non-politicians==
I deleted [[Mel Gibson]], as he is not know for holding political office or for anything political. He does have a big mouth, and (like many people) has gotten personal or hateful when ranting at someone. His anti-semitic remarks to a cop who stopped his car, and his use of the n-word on the phone to his girlfriend (wife?) attracted headlines.
None of this makes him relevant to an encyclopedia article on Republicans. Maybe an article on gaffes by celebrities? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 10:30, 19 July 2010 (EDT)
