Thank you for the review, but I must confess I do not understand the reasoning. The references are, with only a few exceptions, "in-depth," and all are reliable, secondary, and with the exception of our own website, independent. An organization with a membership of nearly 300 members, most of whom are former US Government senior officials of note, and which has been quoted and quoted about in major media, is a formally incorporated non-profit organization, and engaged with an array of journalists, seems to merit a Wikipedia article.

I now see that the article appears to have been rejected as it is not of significant interest. I ask that you reconsider. It would be helpful if you could explain why this is not significant. StevenACash (talk) 10:30, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am hoping for a reply to my communications. I understand. you are probably a bit busy, and if you do not plan on replying, please just let me know in a brief message. StevenACash (talk) 18:03, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am writing again, in hopes you will reply. I am puzzled by your assertion that The Steady State, as an organization is "not significant," and concerned that you have not responded to my communications. I assume that you are familiar with the United States Intelligence Community, its Homeland Security Commmunity, and its Diplomatic Communities, and understand its role in US Domestic Politics, and perhaps your studies of our system have led you to conclude that the organization is not significant. I would very much welcome the oppotrunity to engage with you on this subject. StevenACash (talk) 14:53, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The comment the reviewer left was:
Almost all the sources are what those affiliated with The Steady State have said or written which are primary sources and not independent. Also, Google Docs is not a reliable source nor are blogs (even if published by NBC, etc.) so should not be used.
