Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of California public officials charged with crimes
For further evidence of how this list is contrary to Wikipedia standards, see  "A person may be included in a list of people if all the following requirements are met... The person meets the Wikipedia notability requirement. An exception to this requirement may be made if the person is famous for a specific event, the notability requirement need not be met..." How exactly does a ""Supervisor... indicted for rendering and collecting fraudulent claims against the county for road work on Union Avenue" - ''and then acquitted'' fall within such criteria? Do we have an article on the Road works in Union Avenue? The unorthodox way the article uses wikilinks between the names on the list and sections within it (which I've not seen used elsewhere) gives the misleading impression that we ''do'' have articles about these individuals. But no, almost al of these individuals neither meet Wikipedia notability requirements, and nor are they 'famous' for anything. ''Even those convicted of such crimes are ''not'' automatically suitable for inclusion on such lists'' unless (a) they independently meet Wikipedia notability standards, or (b) the crime in which they are involved in does. This is policy. If anyone thinks the policy is wrong, then propose that it be changed - but not here, we don't rewrite policy in AfD discussions
