Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of California public officials charged with crimes
And apologies for the somewhat drastic approach I took to this article - but the topic itself is such an obvious violation of , ,  etc, that it seemed the only appropriate course. Listing non-notable individuals who have been ''convicted'' of crimes is probably a BLP1E violation (taking into account the insignificance of some of the crimes alleged), but this article lists individuals ''acquitted'' of such charges too. In an ideal world, one could go through the article, remove all the acquittals, and all the convictions of non-notable individuals, and reduce the list to a core of significant corrupt Californian public officials - but even then, without a source that said that there was anything notable about the intersection between 'California' and 'crime by public officials', it would look like the breach of  that it is. It is entirely possible that California leads the world in official corruption (though I doubt it), but Wikipedia isn't an appropriate forum to engage in research to prove it. Without a source that explicitly states that public corruption in California is any more significant than anywhere else, the list can only be seen as political soapboxing, point-scoring, or a random accumulation of primary research
