Single source
editFor the purposes of this article, I am counting URLs on http://www.govtrack.us that are basically logs of Congressional activity as "one source" even if multiple web pages are cited. The "source" is the 113th Congress of the United States. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 21:36, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
Notability and possible merger
editEven though I have done some work on this article, I am not sure if the topic itself meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines at this time. Even if the topic itself does, the body text of the article and its in-line references do not adequately demonstrate that the topic is notable.
This topic may be suitable for a merger into United States Federal Sentencing Guidelines or perhaps a split-off article of Mandatory sentencing and related articles called United States Federal mandatory sentencing or some such. Such an article could discuss the history of US Federal (and possibly US military) mandatory sentencing rules from the time of 1st United States Congress to the modern era, including significant past efforts to change sentencing rules whether they succeeded or not and of course including significant present efforts to change or "ignore" the law (e.g. one of the non-inline references alleges that the current and/or recent-past US Executive Branch officials have found ways to ignore the current mandatory minimum sentencing laws in certain circumstances). davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 21:58, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
