Talk:Nury Martinez

Edit request
In the “Racist comments” section, can gerrymandering be linked? Although a common enough phrase in the US, it’s not a widely known term. Thanks - 2A00:23C7:2B86:9801:E573:BD46:C7D5:324B (talk) 23:05, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Because the term gerrymandering is wikilinked earlier in the section, MOS:LINKONCE should apply. 🌊 Pacific Depths talk 02:40, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

New article at Draft:2022 Los Angeles City Council controversy
This issue has become bigger than just a paragraph on one person's biography, as it has multiple people involved, and possibly more than one resignation ("Ron Herrera resigns as L.A. Labor Federation head amid furor over leaked recording, sources say," LA Times ) I have started a draft article to track the issue. Given there is no obvious title or label in the media, I have proposed generic article name at Draft:2022 Los Angeles City Council controversy and invite folks to help build that article, using content and sources from Nury_Martinez.

Changuito as a slur
Based on what I’ve read, it seems like that use of changuito is not a slur in the way that it might be perceived in US English. 2600:1702:35B0:1BF0:DC0D:5467:D12C:16F6 (talk) 08:49, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Former?
She's stepped down, that doesnt neccessarily means she's ending her political carreer for ever. So calling her "former politician", especially in the introduction, seems to me premature. 95.91.126.119 (talk) 09:14, 13 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Nah. She's nuclear waste as far as the Democrats are concerned.  Racism is their kryptonite. 2601:647:667F:F31D:65D7:53FE:1229:7FB3 (talk) 09:59, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * An open secret among Democrat insiders is the hostility and rivalry between Hispanic and African-American politicians and their voting blocs, especially in places like Los Angeles. This article probably should include that context and background to this scandal but, unfortunately, the mainstream media, including political mags like Politico, don't seem inclined to report on the issue. 108.18.156.124 (talk) 13:58, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Poorly sourced rumor of moving to Arizona and becoming a Republican
So based upon exactly one anonymous claim given to a reporter in a vacuous lifestyle magazine, you are going to add the tidbit that she has relocated to Arizona and joined the GOP, even though the subject herself denies it? Is this an attempt to finally obliterate the pretense that Wikipedia has standards for sourcing, or is every Page Six item now fair game for being added to a Wikipedia bio too? I note for the record that the source of this claim, Los Angeles Magazine, already had to correct a part of of their report where they misidentified the subject's husband, but keep chasing this nonsense if you must. 104.32.120.139 (talk) 04:38, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Los Angeles Magazine is not listed in WP:RPS. If you are concerned about Los Angeles Magazine's credibility, perhaps you can open up a discussion over there, and if the resulting consensus is to deprecate LA Magazine, then your point would be valid.
 * In the meantime, it appears that LA Magazine seems like a legitimate source, given that they issued a correction to a fact that was not 100% accurate (the exact nature of Nury Martinez's husband's work on the Alex Villanueva campaign for LA Sheriff).
 * On the flip side, her denial has been poorly sourced, published on Twitter by a non-verified account. Where is Matt? (talk) 15:31, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I think an LA Times reporter is an appropriate source to prove that the LA Magazine claims are disproven. Should be edited: https://www.threads.net/@david_zahniser_lat/post/CzXBCANyfGV/ 99.51.148.251 (talk) 08:05, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Huh? Hillel Aron, the twitter account name, does not even claim to be a reporter for the Los Angeles Times. Where is Matt? (talk) 18:32, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
