Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, MartinPoulter (talk) 14:23, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I would like to respectfully disagree that the subject does not pass WP:NPOL.

I'm not sure how familiar you are with Philadelphia and its politics so I'll give you a very brief overview so you have context for my disagreement. The subject of the article is a politician in Philadelphia's legislative body. He directly represents 160,000 people and writes/votes on legislation affecting a city of 1.6 million in a metro area of 5-8 million (depending on how you define it).

WP:NPOL states "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage" and I'd argue that this context qualifies the subject as a "major political figure" and I think the article's citations show he has received "significant press coverage".

Also, I am a fairly new/casual editor, so apologies if this is not the right place to dispute the article review. Arjsd (talk) 03:02, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
