None of these committees are themselves notable, each failing WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. There is no presumption of notability for state legislatures, let alone committees within those bodies. In the painful WP:BEFORE search, I found mere mentions and some sources that focused upon legislation before the committee or a person on the committee but nothing focused on the committee as an entity. All of this content should have been developed in the articles about the Georgia State House of Representatives and the Georgia State Senate before being moved into standalone articles, per WP:SPINOUT.

And all the related articles for the same reason:

Delete all. Although I strongly disagree with the nominator's comment that there's no presumption of notability for state legislatures, definitely these should all be covered in the main Georgia Senate article and only be given separate articles if they grow too large for inclusion there (on a case-by-case basis).— Chowbok ☠ 16:57, 1 June 2019 (UTC) reply

@ Chowbok: I've bundeled more and will be adding a couple dozen more onto this, so let us know if you change your mind about your !vote. Also, please show me the guideline presuming notability about legislatures. WP:NPOL assumes notability for statewide politicians, but not the committees on which they serve.

WP:LEGISLATURE says state legislatures are automatically notable.— Chowbok ☠ 05:04, 2 June 2019 (UTC) reply

That's a failed proposal and of course, doesn't pertain to these articles, anyway. Thanks for letting me know that exists. Chris Troutman ( talk) 15:14, 2 June 2019 (UTC) reply

Heh, didn't notice that was failed, sorry. Weird, I thought sure it said somewhere that state legislatures were notable. Oh well, like you say, we're getting off-topic here.— Chowbok ☠ 22:44, 2 June 2019 (UTC) reply

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete all. State legislative committees are nothing like US Congressional committees in terms of their power and the process by which legislative sausages get made. At the state level, most legislation is copypasta from other legislatures, or from the right-wing American Legislative Exchange Council. Giving such committees articles gives WP:UNDUE weight to them.

Delete all per nom. As a courtesy, the titles can be redirected to the articles on the respective houses of the Georgia Legislature. bd2412 T 17:55, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
