Nebraska Flag

[edit]

In 2017, Harr proposed that the Flag of Nebraska be redesigned. After it was discovered that the flag had flown upsidedown at the state capitol for 10 days without people noticing, he proposed legislation to redesign the flag in time for the State's 150th anniversary. The measure did not make it out of committee.[1][2][3]

So someone excised this. This seems to be a significant event in this person's political career, since it proposes a major change ot Nebraska, so I don't see why it was removed. -- 65.94.168.229 (talk) 05:01, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:NOTNEWS. "Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion." If Harr's bill actually produced a major change in the state flag, it'd arguably have enduring significance, and could be included in the article. However, a proposal that didn't attract enough support to make it out of committee pretty clearly fails the enduring-notability test. — Ammodramus (talk) 03:07, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
