My impression is that the term "catch and release" is not notable in the sense of the usage described in the article. The only example given in the article itself does not even qualify under the definition given there and the reference given[1] does not mention the term. There is a reference at the talk page of the article that does mention the term in the sense described in the article[2], but it is a brief mention and I was not able to find anything else after quite a bit of googling. The term "catch and release" does get used in the U.S. politics, but usually it refers to something completely different, namely in the illegal immigration debate context. The term in the sense given in the article (as a congressional paliamentary tactic) appears to fail WP:N. Nsk92 (talk) 06:02, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
