Talk:Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority

Opening comment
Vegaswiki,

If you feel that news cannot be a part of an encyclopedia...which is odd considering Wikipedia uses news articles as a form of source to inform readers...then I suggest editing the section rather than deleting it. Deleting it might suggest to others you are interested in suppressing facts.

For example controversies and criticisms sections exist on many articles and are documented and sourced by newspaper articles. There is no reason the LVCVA should be treated any differently.


 * On the news yesterday it said that the LVCVA executives fly first class and take trips to foriegn countries spending upwards of $20,000. Apparently since they are public employees they are violating state law on travel expenditures. There was also talk of abuse of the company credit card by employees. Need a print source though.

 * Yep, happens to just about every agency at some point in time so this is not unique. It also happens in public companies.  So this is the norm rather then an exception. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:14, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * A mention is fine, but using half of the article for a minor incident that is likely not encyclopedic in the long run and probably violates WP:NPOV is not OK. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:14, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * If you can figure out how to keep it short and to the facts that would be great. Looks like this story might get bigger and bigger. (Kdr81 (talk) 21:13, 4 December 2008 (UTC))
 * Mr Vegas Wiki, hopefully it isn't you, but it looks like we have a vandal who will blank that section without reason...that is a vandal.(Kdr81 (talk) 16:54, 5 December 2008 (UTC))

Third opinion
wants to offer a third opinion. To assist with the process, editors are requested to summarize the dispute in a short sentence below.


 * Viewpoint by (Kdr81 (talk) 21:51, 5 December 2008 (UTC)): I added sections regarding a new controversy (misspending of tax dollars and possible law breaking) with LVCVA that just popped up in the news and used newspaper and television media for sources which some people keep deleting. (Controversy and What Happens Here Stays Here sections are the ones in question btw)


 * Viewpoint by (name here): ....


 * Third opinion by Bradv:
 * As there is no evidence of an active dispute here I've removed the 3O tag from the article. Brad 06:56, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
