Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Committee room
I can tell that none of the participants so far have ever been directly involved with a UK election campaign (at least at local level), because this is definitely UK political terminology and has been for over 200 years, from the days when British political parties had no formal local organisation, and parliamentary candidates depended on committees of influential local people to help organise their election campaigns. And since at least the Corrupt and Illegal Practices Prevention Act 1883, it has been the officially-used term for almost any premises used for organising their election campaigns by candidates for parliament or local councils, which are subject to a number of legal requirements about what must and must not be done in committee rooms. These days, British political parties tend to refer to their main premises in an area as "campaign headquarters" or similar, and use the term "committee room" just for smaller premises (often rooms in members' homes) used on election day itself - but legally, they are all committee rooms. Reliable sources will certainly exist (mostly, admittedly, probably legal textbooks or books about how to organise an election campaign without breaking the law - and sometimes several decades old) and should enable the article to be expanded well beyond a , but mostly either don't seem to be online at all or only in snippet form. A couple of sources which are good practical guides (if probably not Wikipedia reliable) are https://www.aldc.org/2012/04/committee-rooms/ this and http://www.broxtowelabour.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Polling_day_committee_room_organisers_briefing1.pdf this. And https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=I2GoBAAAQBAJ&pg=PT135&lpg=PT135 this more reliable source should put things a little more into context
