Nothing about this article suggests the topic is inherently notable. With only one source to go on, and four years having transpired since its last edit, I believe this article should go. Love of Corey (talk) 23:27, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Current content or lack of recent editing have no relation to notability; AfD is not clean up. Subject is the focus of scholarly research, both specifically and in more general studies, and has been discussed in news media for a quarter century. There's more than adequate material for a stand alone article.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]

Redirect to Term limits in the United States/Merge to Wyoming Legislature and List of governors of Wyoming. Many states have term limits, with historical coverage of their adoption (and rejection), but it should be discussed in the appropriate context of the offices, not a separate page.

Comment Wyoming (as with most states) has a unique situation regarding the adoption and rejection of term limits. Term limits were applied as part of distinct political movements, but were removed in a disjointed manner, eg the Wyoming Supreme Court quashed term limits for state officers and state legislative members in different decisions a decade apart, but limits for the Governor remain in place (as no case has been brought challenging that limit). It makes little sense for the information to be disaggregated by office. The sources show more than adequate material for a stand alone article; Term limits in Oregon indicates the possibilities.

Keep. This article could certainly use some expansion, but the unique history of term limits in Wyoming compared to that of other states, combined with the amount of coverage about this topic in the sources provided by Goldsztajn, suggest that this topic meets the notability guidelines. --Zander251 (talk) 04:00, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, will always be a subject of influence, interest and reporting when such a large political body takes up deep rules as to its ways of self-governance. Hyperbolick (talk) 11:20, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
