Talk:Emanuel Pleitez

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --Rhi.taggart (talk) 16:41, 31 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Emanuel Pleitez is an official candidate for LA mayor 2013. The information on there is valid and cited (though the citations apparently aren't done correctly yet). I don't know why the old page was deleted but he ran for Congress in 2009, and perhaps the pages were deleted after his campaign ended. He IS currently a valid and official candidate for office though, and thus information on him is worth having posted on wikipedia. Several of the other candidates have information up as well.


 * More importantly, he was not a trivial candidate in the 2009 race, finishing in 3rd with 13% of the vote. Jairuscobb (talk) 00:57, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

This page should be deleted as it does not meet the notability guidelines. Running for office does not justify a entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.129.228.103 (talk) 09:12, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

I agree that this page should be deleted, as it does not meet the notability guidelines including WP:POLITICIAN. If he is notable for anything, it is for running for office. Running for office does not justify an entry. Having received 7,000 votes in the past does not meet the notability guidelines. I've received over 13,000 votes combined in three past elections, and I don't have a WP page. Bill Bloomfield just lost with 146,000 votes, and he does not have a WP page. Todd Zink just lost with 171,000 votes, and he does not have a WP page. There is not enough other information that makes Pleitez notable. The content may have changed since the previous deletion, but all of the same arguments are still applicable. -- I do need to add a disclaimer. I am a long-time WP editor, but I am also a political activist. I have met Emanuel (most recently just three days ago). I like Emanuel. Under different circumstances, I would vote for Emanuel. But as it is, I have endorsed one of his better-known opponents, and I am president-elect of a club that just endorsed another of his better-known opponents. Still, I believe my vote for removal is based on my experience with WP, not on political manipulation. Political manipulation is irrelevant anyway because Emanuel is not going to win or lose the election based on whether this page exists (nor should politicking be a reason to keep the page).--RichardMathews (talk) 02:49, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

I'll add that Pleitez' lack of notability is clear from this Los Angeles Times article a few days ago does not even mention him: "L.A. mayoral election a wide-open contest." Same with this article from a few weeks ago, that even refers to Pleitez' better-known opponents as simply, "The four candidates" in the race: "L.A. mayoral candidates discuss housing, education, city services." And then there is this photo display of "The candidates for L.A. mayor": "L.A. mayoral candidates." He is also not mentioned in these recent articles from the Los Angeles Daily News: "Early survey shows Eric Garcetti, then Wendy Greuel as front-runners for mayor" and "Opinion: In L.A. mayor race, Greuel leads in endorsements." He is similarly ignored by the LA Weekly: "L.A. Mayor's Race: 'Exit Poll' Shows Eric Garcetti And Wendy Greuel Atop The Field"--RichardMathews (talk) 07:37, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
