Schwartz deletion
Hello! I'm writing regarding the deletion of Mitchell Schwartz's page. It appears that I should make this appeal to you based on the edit history and the instructions for disputing deletion, before taking other steps. I am an advisor to Mitchell's campaign, and I am concerned that a non-neutral editor is going out of the way to impugn our entry when Schwartz does meet general notability guidelines. We're not heavy Wikipedia users and as this deletion was litigated over the holiday, we did not mount a defense. In addition to the issues brought up in the discussion prior to deletion, Schwartz was sought out as an advisor to Bernie Sanders' California campaign because of his stature and prominence in California political circles. In addition to the news articles cited in the original entry, Schwartz was featured in the Clinton campaign documentary "War Room" (IMDB credits), and is a regular CNN commentator, +, and +. Not only is Mitchell notable in his own right, he's one of only two candidates for Los Angeles mayor - deletion of his entry does a disservice to Wikipedia and to the people of LA. Adrielhampton


 * Thank you for raising the issue. I closed the discussion as delete because of the weight of argument brought forward as to the subject's suitability for meeting our inclusion criteria. There was also a general consensus by simple vote counting. While the subject may have notability in other areas, such as for those interested in the candidates for Los Angeles mayor, which would include the local media, the discussion found that he has no lasting global significance at the moment. He may well acquire significance - particularly if he becomes mayor, but at the moment he is a candidate, which under our guidelines is not quite enough. See WP:POLITICIAN. You may raise the matter at Deletion review, though it is worth reading the criteria for opening a review at WP:DRVPURPOSE. If you simply disagree with the close, that in itself is not a valid reason for opening a review. If you feel I have misread the consensus of the discussion, that there were more valid arguments for inclusion than deletion, especially when considering our inclusion guidelines and policies, then please say that now to me, and I will look again. If new reliable sources have come to light which indicate notability, then please bring them to my attention -  imdb is not regarded as a reliable source as it is user generated, and appearing in a newsclip is not considered note worthy - see  WP:NOTNEWS and WP:JOURNALIST. If the subject had gained a significant reputation as a journalist, such that people were writing about him and his journalism, then we would consider including him. We do not have articles on every journalist nor every electoral candidate. I would suggest that if you do go ahead and open a review, that you don't make comments about any editor whose vote you disagreed with. If you have cause for concern regarding the activities of any editor, then Deletion Review is not the place to discuss those. You are welcome to email me privately with concerns you have, and if I agree that your concerns are justified I will either take action myself or indicate to you what stages you need to follow. Please do not make allegations against another editor without first discussing it in private with me or another admin, as you may get blocked for making personal attacks if the allegations are unfounded. Also, while personally I don't fully subscribe to all that it says, it is worth reading Conflict of interest, as you are linked to the subject, and some users have a negative attitude toward users editing in relation to subject's they are linked to.
