message: Many people are champions of acceptance and integration, but few are invited to make a cameo appearance in a feature-installment of a TV series where integration was a central theme. Mr. Bradley had a cameo in Alien Nation: Dark Horizon. Few politicians are so widely (or wildly) popular as to have their name given positive inclusion in the script of a contemporary sit-com, but Mr. Bradley was adored by the character Roger Thomas in What's Happening (in contrast to former Presidents Ford and Carter who were not so adored in that series).
Granted, not every detail of a person's life can be included in the few bytes afforded to a wiki article, but these media appearances are relevant because they demonstrate the significance of his cultural impact, perhaps more effectively than dry names, dates, and the broad strokes commonly presented in encyclopedic entries.
Should they be included?

message: There are countless California mayors whose party affiliation is listed in the lede despite technically being a nonpartisan office. And the wording I added did not imply that he was elected to a partisan office, it just listed his party affiliation. You’re welcome to take the time to delete party affiliation from hundreds of other ledes if you think other users would allow that, but I don’t see any reason to specifically exclude it from this specific article. I’m willing to listen to your thoughts if you think there is a good reason though. —169.234.216.238 (talk) 02:11, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

message: The article twice indicates Bradley played football at UCLA. This is incorrect. The “Black Bruins” book cited never makes that claim, and Bradley himself confirms that he intended to play football when he enrolled but then changed his mind. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1998-oct-02-sp-28609-story.html Jsmathematics (talk) 11:53, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

message: The lead refers to Bradley at least twice as "the first liberal mayor" of Los Angeles. According to whom? This seems subjective to me rather than something that should be stated as objective fact. Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 20:18, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
