replies: text: Jim Ellis (California political activist) →  – The article has been moved several times alreadyfrom  to  in 2006 saying "More common name", to  in 2017 without explanation, and then to  in 2019 saying "further disambiguation" but the title has not really been discussed since 2006 (which was before some notable developments, including his pleading guilty to an election finance–related felony). My proposed title seems more simple and to the point. As far as I can tell, "activist" doesn't seem very accurate, and even if that's accurate, "California political activist" seems overly complicated. Note that in 2018 an IP with no other edit history made some substantial changes to the article that introduced what appear to be biased changes presenting the subject from a positive POV perspective (with "well-recognized skills in advising, strategizing for, and evaluating campaigns", "leading political consultant", "strong reputation for calling races correctly", "35-year veteran of politics at the state and national levels", removal of criminal convictions from the lead section, adding "corporate grass roots lobbying" and "clients gleaning key information and keen insight from his daily columns", etc.). Some of the puffery and spin was removed in 2019, but further review of the content prior to October 2018 might be desirable for determining what title is best. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 20:53, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: His own bio says "He specialized in corporate grass roots lobbying, campaign management and coalition building", and he was the executive director of a PAC. Isn't that the whole idea of a PAC? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 04:47, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
