Talk:Daily Bruin

Levi Meir Clancy Controversy
''In 2005, Daily Bruin published two articles ( and ) about child prodigy and University of California, Los Angeles student Levi Meir Clancy, who was 14 at the time of both articles. Both articles were written by Daily Bruin author Ari Bloomekatz. The first article was published without notifying Levi Meir Clancy nor his mother Leila Jean Levi, and the URL for Clancy's personal site was published in the article. Controversy arouse when Clancy received death threats as a result of the exposure the article gave him. According to Clancy's blog, his mother wrote Ari Bloomekatz telling about the negative impact the article had on her son and insisting that Daily Bruin not publish another article abut him.''

''However, Daily Bruin published a second article about Levi Meir Clancy several months later without notifying him nor his mother. Clancy received another surge in threats and Leila Jean Levi threatened legal action against Daily Bruin for what she considered endangerment of her son. Daily Bruin has not since published an article about Clancy.''


 * I moved this section to the talk page for several reasons. First, the user who added it has made a number of edits that appear to just be vanity type stuff, adding references to Levi Meir Clancy to articles where he has little relevance. Second, Clancy's blog which is cited as a reference is password-protected, and so unable to be checked by others; I thus think it cannot be considered a reference or source. Finally, no sources are cited to justify that this is a "controversy" to anyone but the Clancys. Unless some other source mentions this controversy, outside of the Clancy family, I don't think it qualifies as notable. I'm interested in what others think, though. --Miskwito 23:23, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Notable Daily Bruin alumni
Is anyone else bothered by this section?
 * a) They don’t appear to be any sort of order
 * b) Half the entrys here don’t have linked articles, which raises the question of notability (and verifiability)
 * c) About half the ones that do have articles don’t seem to mention any connection with UCLA, let alone the Bruin.

Can I suggest we:
 * a) remove all non-linked entries
 * b) put in class-year order, which would require detail of their attendance at UCLA, at least.

Thoughts? Swanny18 (talk) 20:31, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I took care of the suggestions in the entry just above. (1) They are now in the order of their birth. (2) The articles are all linked, except for Forbes, who was a UC regent and who will definitely have an article as soon as I get around to it. (3) Where the blue-linked articles don't mention a connection with the Bruin, I have inserted a Citation Needed tag; if the citation is not made within a reasonable time, the listing should be deleted.
