Disavian-What were you thinking-people put up those links out of love for their clubs. You knew that your actions would be contriversial. Next time, put it up for debate on this talk page. I comprimised by just takeing out the county and high school clubs, I left the states-I belive that I like that even better too. But, as the original creater of this artical, I do thank you for the Cleanup Tag. It will undoubtubly create future help from fellow wikipedians. Thank you, and God Bless America.

Wait a minute...where did all the links go! I think that all links should be invited, not just the states! Or at least mention the known chapters in the body! --—Preceding unsigned comment added by Dimigw ( talk • contribs) 06:00, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Disavian, I understand that a clean up is nesecssary, and it will be done. But, i don't believe that we should delete these links that people are putting up! Wikipedia's own slogan is "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit." ANYONE can edit it, and its getting annoying how you delete stuff with minimal or no discussion. My group put a lot of effort and underwent a lot of scrutiny just for starting this club, and I feel that if we want our links on the page then we should have it. I agree that the main body should be cleaned up, but we deserve our links if we put them up, and you should not be deleting them without proper discussion! -- Dimigw 23:12, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I agree w/ Dimigw. There should be a list of all relevant links. Not every group is going to post a link anyway, so it won't look that bad. -- THorsman88 2:16, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Ok, I want everyone to voice there opinion on this:
A:Keep all links B:Keep state and national link/s C:Keep only national link
the next 5 votes (not including the two contributors which have already commented) will decide. --—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.136.236.126 ( talk • contribs) 23:38, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
It would seem like after all the exchanges on this message board about this not becoming a link farm that people would stop messing around on the page. If we are not going to allow links to clubs or even entire state federations, why would we allow one guy to put just his individual wikipedia page in as a "see also" link. And on top of that whoever wrote the page for this guy did a horrible job. I left it as an active link under the national description on the page because it has a little bearing as he is active in the State Chairmans Organization. But I doubt anyone is thinking National Teen Age Republicans and Travis Clinger at the same time unless they are from Florida. If this guy want to publicize himself, he should start a Florida TARS page.

That's actual content. Remember to cite your sources. -- Disavian 01:18, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I've removed the links to all the states and replaced it with one centralized link to http://www.teenagerepublicans.org/Federations.htm which has all the links it appears. This is much more efficient and neat, plus brings it closer to the standards of Wikipedia's external link policy. Metros232 03:22, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
I moved the information on the Chairman's Association under the national organization description because itmakes more sense there. But maybe someone could add a little more discussion on what the association does. Right now it seems like a self serving link to get a couple of guys names in the listing for TARs rather than an informative addition.

Wikipedia deleted the Travis clinger page today for not being notable. I have removed the reference to Travis Clinger and made the reference solely about the position of National Chairman's Association Chair so it does not need to be constantly updated.
MStrike32 ( talk) 05:47, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
I undid the previous edit to add the Clinger/Stanton names back into the TARs page. The addition of these names adds absolutly nothing to the article. It is just self promotion. And as I mentioned earlier, Wikipedia axed the Travis Clinger article for lack of notability. The whole portion of the article on the National Chairman's Association should probably be removed, as it lacks any kind of citation. Provide some tangible information on the group and what it does. Wikipedia is here to be informative, not for people to have their name on the internet.

I have added one source and more citations needed tags to this article. There is a considerable amount of content which is not sourced, and all of the references that are cited are pages from Teen Age Republicans websites, which are probably biased as their purpose is to promote the organisation.
