Talk:List of lists of American state and local politicians convicted of crimes

1636:. As satisfying as I am sure some find it to put former Sheriff Arpaio on here, his conviction was legally on the same scale as reckless driving. Sorry, misdemeanor convictions are fine to mention in an actual article provided they meet our other criteria for inclusion but on a list like this, including such would be categorically nuts. Also just say no to red links unless there is a VERY strong likelihood that an article will be created in the near future. If they don't have an article then there is a strong probability it's because they don't pass WP:N. And I would be very leery about including small town politicians on this list for the same reasons. Most of them won't pass WP:NPOL and if the basis of their presumed notability is their crime then you need to question the extent and duration of the coverage. Was it more or less local or regional? Was it WP:LASTING? And then there is WP:1E. So unless we are talking about a politician who is clearly notable independently of their criminal behavior (think mayors of really major cities) I'd just say no to local pols and move on. - 5006:: The trouble with splitting by decade, first, is that one winds up with a multiplicity of fragmented lists of one or twos per state per decade, especially if one retains the state breakdown in each article. The reason the table of contents is huge is because there is a state breakdown. If one breaks things down by state, one has the further option of breaking the list down by state level politicians and local level politicians, and then, at the local level, by individual counties and towns. Suddenly you do not have a table of contents with 50-100 entries, one or two for each state, you only have a single list for the state legislature and one for the local legislature. If you want to split at the local level, then you can split by county, or even individual settlements, too. Also, splitting by state gives the lists more coherence, as a politician who offends on multiple occasions only needs to appear once, on a single list, not in each decade of their offending. Addressing your points in turn: 4940:. That means one needs sufficient events in a decade for a decade (or year) list to work; perhaps with a minimum of 10 listed articles to be worthwhile. Additionally, then further splitting by state jurisdiction makes no sense at all, as one ends up with a list of one for one state and nothing for any of the others. The result is not a list, but a page that is crying out to be a redirect to the listed article concerned. If one wanted to split this list, it would make much more sense to split by states, which have a common criminal jurisdiction and set of law, and order each state list chronologically. Then the lists would align with the state laws and legal systems dealing with these criminals. - 5037:" proposes a split by either decade or state, but doesn't seem to have received any real discussion or interest. The one comment in opposition to splitting by state is allegedly a sock-puppet account. However, the lack of discussion about splitting this article makes it difficult to decide the best way to go. However, now it has been split by decade, I can see a time split is the wrong way to go because of the fragmentation that occurs. Because I want to propose merging a lot of these decade articles, which is only going to return the article to the state it was in originally. 276: 255: 701: 286: 625: 598: 473: 1108:. This is a history article about legal convictions, not guilt, and isn't necessarily intended to pass judgment on the people listed. (eg. it includes people whose 'crimes' are civil disobedience as well, even civil disobedience that most people today would consider proper.) We can provide 'overturned' or 'pardoned' for context, but the conviction is the important part; nothing that happens afterwards should remove it. -- 1961:= Articles clearly states that Small was aquitted at trial so remove Small. As to your comment of 'I don't have to check anything anywhere' it is clear you have no interest in actually checking sources or links yourself and instead resort to throwing your weight around, which is so petty. I notice that you have had run ins with multiple editors on this page before, which begs the question 'Who is really the problem here' 635: 733: 526: 505: 5010:

potentially results in having about fifty separate coherent lists, each organised by state, but with a small table of contents, if any at all. Cause of the long table of contents is because each section has a heading for its list. When one moves to a list of lists by states, the need for a table of contents goes away, because one has a longer list of state list articles, instead of a table of contents.

I am not sure if this is because the politicians are behaving any differently now that previously, or if law enforcement has become stricter, or if the news media are reporting this better and recent reports are more accessible.

with heavy fines and jail time I would have included. I would suggest, we leave it to the judge. If he feels only a ticket or a class is necessary, we leave them out. If classes, fines, probation, community service and jail time are added, we include them on this list. 5K seems to me to be a pretty hefty fine. What do you think?

entries per state and decade. It is only in the last 30 or 40 years that one really needs a decade split. Currently, there are 17 decade articles. However, a split by state would give us up to 50 separate list articles, although some states and territories could be grouped together if needed to make fewer larger articles.

421: 5009:

Yes, large unwieldy needed splitting. But the way to do it well is to create a sub-list of the largest parts of the list. That means splitting a whole section off into a separate list. The way the article has been organised by section tends to dictate the best way to split it too. Splitting by state

Looking at the decades, before 1900 there do not appear to be more than one or two politicians per state on the list. This suggests that the 19th century decades might be merged into a single century list, but one is still left with the 20th century, where, prior to the 1980's one still gets single

As I have pointed out numerous times now, which you could check yourself by either going on their respective wikipedia articles or typing it into google: Powers was pardoned by the Governor (We don't include people with pardons in the list as i've chekced), Small was aquitted in the trial so should

Though it was a misdemeanor, some misdemeanors are quite serious and have substantial penalties. I see no discussion of how slight an infraction should be included in this list. I see some drunk driving and one time tax citations I would have left out as too trivial and other misdemeanor citations

This is an article for those who have been convicted of crimes. If someone has bee pardoned or the conviction has subsequently been over turned then they should not continue to be on this list.

if so many politicians weren't convicted of crimes and we could have one more manageable article! May i suggest that we leave it as it is for the present and make a decision, ideally bringing in some others who have had opinions or worked on the article (or the community as a whole)? I apologise

5082:

One option might be to start a state list article for each state that has a single politician listing during the 19th century, starting with the oldest decade first. Then see how that pans out with lists running state by state as an initial trial. The alternative is to formally propose an article

I'm just going to escalate this to administrators. This is an article for people convicted of crimes, not those who have been pardoned or not convicted at all, so it doesn't need consensus. I'm not really that bothered if you can't open the article in Europe, I gave you a source, from a reputable

Whether one makes the split by decade or by state, one is going to wind up with some big articles and some small ones. Them's the breaks. Accept it and move on. However, there are some things that can be done to stop articles being too small, or too large. If splitting by state produces too many

If a person was convicted of a crime, but they were later pardoned for that crime, they were still convicted of it, and acceptance of the pardon is a tacit admission of guilt. That's what the word "convicted" means: verb, past tense. The conviction is a matter of historical fact, and the pardon

There seemed to be two suggestions above it be split, curiously both by current admins who didn't follow up though both indicated they would (no implication of anything bad there, we all get busy and move on), so i felt i could follow

You may want to reread the RfC, only one editor voted for deleting pardons. The other 5 were split on whether to delete convictions overturned on appeal, but all 5 of them explicitly stated that pardoned convictions should stay.

Ultimately, i went with decades, feeling that that was more acceptable. I do, however, understand your points, and don't really dispute. In the end, in mine opinion, there isn't an ideal way to handle it ~ the ideal would be

2229:

Since this page is 333,550 bytes long, how about dividing it up into separate pages by decade? An alternative is to divide it up by state but I think it would be better to break it up by time than geography. What do you think?

900:

The predominate number of entries of recent years is probably a WP references' artifact and not a reflection of any reality that convictions in recent years are more numerous than past years. So past years need more entries.

Sourcing leaves a lot to be desired. Completely oppose Silver, pending reliable sources. Aragon is sourced to an AP story. Can we find anything we can actually read? In theory, AP stories can be picked up by multiple papers.

Instead of breaking it down by decade, it would be a lot easier to navigate if it was just in strict chronological order by each state. Maybe it is time to break out each state into its own list. What do you think?

2247:

Since I see that this division has been proposed several times with little response, unless there is opposition to the breakup that includes a justification for why not, I'll go ahead with this split-up in 7 days.

Clearly it needed splitting ~ it was huge, some automatic tools couldn't be used on it (not a reason in itself, for sure, but a sign it is very big), the TOC alone stretched for several screens, making navigation

See my comments below. See also that Johnsagent also articulated this position, so that's now five editors who've expressed support for keeping pardoned convictions in the list, and only one for deleting them.

I propose to split this article into two articles: '2000 to present' and 'prior to 2000' as a first measure to reduce the size of this article. This will not eliminate any of the content. Any comments?
