POV issues[edit]

There seems to be a tug-of-war at this article, with one side trying to paint a wholly negative picture of this person and the other trying to paint him a saint and a "superior candidate." Neither of these approaches is appropriate, Wikipedia articles must have a neutral point of view. Please do not push a particular viewpoint with your edits to this article.

Twice now I have removed content from the article that does not belong. Firstly, if you have to say "allegedly" before stating something, i.e. that he wrote this controversial article, you better be prepared to say who is alleging this, and it better not just be you, it should be printed in a reliable media source. The NRA thing was an action by his law firm that he was not involved in, so it does not belong in this article either. Beeblebrox (talk) 02:55, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is the subject notable enough? I suggest seeing if it would pass AFD; I suspect not, unless there's a lot of notability info missing. Rd232 ^talk 04:46, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's a runoff election in a few days, probably wisest to wait till after then. Beeblebrox (talk) 04:49, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Then can we please delete this article :) Thanks, --Tom 14:54, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake the runoff election isn't till May. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:27, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

South Bay University[edit]

The article says that the subject attended South Bay University School of Law. WP doesn't have any articles on such a school. The best I can find on Google is California South Bay University [1], but it doesn't have a law school. A Los Angeles Times article says"

While working at StarKist, he began attending night law school at South Bay University College of Law, a Carson school that closed in the late '70s, according to the State Bar of California.[2]

It'd be nice to turn that red link blue, so if anyone has resources to find out more about this school please help. Will Beback talk 07:28, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to his California State Bar profile, South Bay Univ. is/was in Harbor City, CA. This is apparently different from California South Bay University. According to one source, South Bay Univ. appears to have 87 law school alumni, 15 of whom have been publically sanctioned. [3] No information was located on South Bay University's accreditation status in the 1970s, and no information that the school still exists could be found.

POV: 2012 Campaign for DA[edit]

The tug-of-war from the 2009 elections seems to have been renewed. I posted an update last month incorporating all the coverage by the Los Angeles Times of Mr. Trutanich's campaign. Much of that edit was taken down; the only parts left were favorable to Mr. Trutanich. I just updated this page again with the most recent coverage regarding the court ruling about what Mr. Trutanich's description on the June ballot will be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Williamarete (talk • contribs) 19:07, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV[edit]

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 21:17, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
