Significance of Subject[edit]

The Wichita CREEOC is an important subject for the following reasons:

1.) This was the first major combined civil rights and EEO agency in any city in Kansas, and first to clone the matching state law and agency.

2.) The agency became a significant news item, for several years, not only in Wichita, but state-wide and sometimes even nationally, as shown by its coverage in numerous sources, cited in the article, from across the state and nation.

3.) The institution, and its parent institution, became the subjects of a number of state and federal actions, raising major questions about the governance of the agency, itself, and Wichita city government, and became a subject in various litigations, investigations and/or interventions involving state and federal authorities.

4.) It's a well-documented landmark example of the failure of an American civil rights agency to function as intended, with dramatic issues involved -- and its failures illustrate important issues in the development, operation and success or failure of such agencies, nationwide.

5.) It was the forerunner of another agency of government currently in operation. (Wichita Citizens Rights & Services (CRS) - Board and Office)

6.) The CREEOC / City of Wichita internal battle was one of the last, and most pivotal events, in the controversial legal career of a very controversial national public figure, Fred Phelps.

Request for review or advice[edit]

@User:WilliamJE Thanks for looking at my article Kansas Commission on Civil Rights. I'm soliciting review and incorporation in the namespace for this similar article -- Wichita Civil Rights Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

For some reason, it never shows up in Google searches, though my prior, lesser article, Kansas Commission on Civil Rights; shows up fine in Google searches, as do the other Wikipedia articles I've made. Is something wrong with this article??

(I notice that, unlike my other articles, no one else appears in the View History, so I assume I'm the only one contributing to it so far. Could that be why Google is ignoring it (I can't even get a Google hit when I explicitly reference the title, not even if in quotes).

UPDATE: This article now appears immediately at the front of Google searches for either the subject title or "CREEOC". ~ Zxtxtxz (talk) 15:20, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
