[edit] Removing relinks

I copied this from Wikipedia:Featured list removal candidates/List of United States House committees:

…[W]e might consider removing some of the links which currently do not have articles. I realize we're giving people access to "the sum of all human knowledge" or however the dogma goes, but I wonder how much relevant and interesting material there is for the page about the United States House Resources Subcommittee on National Parks or who in their right mind would bother trying to type United States House Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Treasury, and Housing and Urban Development, The Judiciary, District of Columbia into that little box. :) --Vedek Dukat Talk 05:02, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
The difficulty is that a few of the subcommittees do have pages: removing the links to the others looks a bit selective, to game the criteria. -- ALoan (Talk) 09:53, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

I also disagree. These committees did exist, and obsolete committees are often referenced (linked) from articles about Representatives. For example about Rep. Blahblahblah served as chair of the United States House Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Treasury, and Housing and Urban Development, The Judiciary, District of Columbia. At worst, we should Redirect those committee articles to the committee to which its jurisdiction was transferred. —Markles 18:05, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

As far as I know, the ones listed here are the current committees and sub-committees, some of which still don't have articles. The defunct ones are listed elsewhere, at United_States_Congressional_committee#Defunct_Committees. -- ALoan (Talk) 18:34, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
