Talk:Angelita C. et al. v. California Department of Pesticide Regulation

if this isn't notable I don't know what is
I oppose deletion and am working on the article. I have not yet removed the prod template because I am using the convenience links. Elinruby (talk) 01:50, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

so this copy-vio
Didn't write it that text and don't know about it, but this topic is notable enough for an article and I am pulling it out of prod. (See list of sources I have added) I noticed it on a list of over-templated articles.

Can we just delete the copy-vio text in question? I have downloaded the source document, but I don't think I even need it for AfD purposes. I like my sources better, although I may add something from it eventually. Elinruby (talk) 05:07, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

I assume this is from an press released archived somewhere
Completely uncited of course. Left here as breadcrumbs to the details of the voluntary compliance agreement once you strip all the weasel out: in which the EPA recommended stricter air monitoring of potentially harmful gasses, a process to acquire information from registered pesticide companies about where pesticide concentration is the greatest, a process to determine monitoring efforts are effective against long-term pesticide exposure, use of films that act as a barrier towards methyl bromide, setting limits on methyl bromide levels per town, and organizing three events per year as a means of outreach with the Latino community.
