Criteria for Inclusion Care should be taken before adding names to this list. The list does not include scandals, accusations, arrests or indictments that have not led to convictions. Nor does it include persons found guilty of minor crimes (misdemeanors) or ethics violations. Only persons who have been convicted of serious, i.e. felony crimes are recorded. In general persons listed here should have a claim to encyclopedic notability independent of their crimes, some commonsense exceptions granted. See WP:BLP1E. Persons who do not have an already existing article should not be listed unless there is a very strong likelihood of one being created in the near future. In such cases a WP:REDLINK should be included in the listing. Conceding exceptions, local politicians are rarely notable. |

The predominate number of entries of recent years is probably a WP references' artifact and not a reflection of any reality that convictions in recent years are more numerous than past years. So past years need more entries. Hmains ( talk) 02:05, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

R._Budd_Dwyer#Bribery_investigation_and_conviction. He was treasurer convicted of bribery, but commited suicide on television before sentencing. Also convicted was the state Republican Party Chairman, Bob Asher. The article is pretty top-heavy towards recent decades, and something from the 80's would balance it slightly, especially given the notoriety of the outcome (indeed, Asher is still a politician). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ghostwo ( talk • contribs) 14:33, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

When a person receives a pardon, or the conviction is overturned on appeal, does that mean we should delete the entry here; or should we keep the entry and mention that the conviction was overturned or that they were pardoned? 16:45, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

Though it was a misdemeanor, some misdemeanors are quite serious and have substantial penalties. I see no discussion of how slight an infraction should be included in this list. I see some drunk driving and one time tax citations I would have left out as too trivial and other misdemeanor citations with heavy fines and jail time I would have included. I would suggest, we leave it to the judge. If he feels only a ticket or a class is necessary, we leave them out. If classes, fines, probation, community service and jail time are added, we include them on this list. 5K seems to me to be a pretty hefty fine. What do you think?

Instead of breaking it down by decade, it would be a lot easier to navigate if it was just in strict chronological order by each state. Maybe it is time to break out each state into its own list. What do you think? -- RAN ( talk) 23:55, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
First this article is already unwieldy in its length. I strongly suggest breaking it up into separate lists by state. If this ever turns into something other than an exercise in current events we will probably need separate lists by both state and decade. Secondly we need to set a few standards. As a matter of common sense I think we should restrict this list to individuals convicted of felonies. As satisfying as I am sure some find it to put former Sheriff Arpaio on here, his conviction was legally on the same scale as reckless driving. Sorry, misdemeanor convictions are fine to mention in an actual article provided they meet our other criteria for inclusion but on a list like this, including such would be categorically nuts. Also just say no to red links unless there is a VERY strong likelihood that an article will be created in the near future. If they don't have an article then there is a strong probability it's because they don't pass WP:N. And I would be very leery about including small town politicians on this list for the same reasons. Most of them won't pass WP:NPOL and if the basis of their presumed notability is their crime then you need to question the extent and duration of the coverage. Was it more or less local or regional? Was it WP:LASTING? And then there is WP:1E. So unless we are talking about a politician who is clearly notable independently of their criminal behavior (think mayors of really major cities) I'd just say no to local pols and move on. - Ad Orientem ( talk) 00:02, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
I propose to split this article into two articles: '2000 to present' and 'prior to 2000' as a first measure to reduce the size of this article. This will not eliminate any of the content. Any comments? Hmains ( talk) 19:03, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
I have reverted the re-insertion of the entry for Ralph W. Chandless, who was expelled from the New Jersey State Senate. I haven't seen a citation indicating that Chandless was actually convicted of a crime by a court, which is necessary for inclusion on this page. Neutrality talk 17:45, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
Information is inaccurate. Caleb Powers, Len Small and Tom Berryhill were never convicted, Edmund Matricardi III is not an elected politician, local judges such Juvenile Court Judge Darrell Catron and those with DUI's have never been included, Frank Ballance was a federal politician etc so should be removed. HeggyTy ( talk) 06:18, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
No. There is no consensus to remove those that are pardoned. See above. The link to the Tribune leads to a page about content not being available in Europe. So you have not made your case. There is WP:NODEADLINE. Also, can the attitude. Thos is how Wikipedia works. John from Idegon ( talk) 08:45, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
Since this page is 333,550 bytes long, how about dividing it up into separate pages by decade? An alternative is to divide it up by state but I think it would be better to break it up by time than geography. What do you think? Liz Read! Talk! 00:07, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

The removal of Len Small from the article. I have attached numerous sources, all of which state he was acquitted during the trial and was never convicted of any crime. This is an article for those convicted of crimes, not those who were acquitted or found not guilty.

Please note the inclusion criteria at the top of this page. Also, please be more careful in the future when bundling large edit requests such as this. Multiple requested additions failed verification, mostly because an indictment is not a conviction. Even in the ones that passed verification, there were numerous inaccuracies in positions held, geographic locations, and charges. Bribery and wire fraud are objectively different crimes, for example.

Please could you also move Movita Johnson-Harrell, who was convicted in 2019, from the 2000-2009 section and add her into the 2010- section. Also I note that Jeremy Hutchinson's article isn't attached to his addition, which is in Arkansas 2010-.

Not done Failed WP:V
Not done Did not qualify for inclusion under criteria established above
Done Passed WP:V and qualify for inclusion under criteria established above
Please note the inclusion criteria at the top of this page. Also, please be more careful in the future when bundling large edit requests such as this. Multiple requested additions failed verification, mostly because an indictment is not a conviction. Even in the ones that passed verification, there were numerous inaccuracies in positions held, geographic locations, and charges. Bribery and wire fraud are objectively different crimes, for example.

@ Eggishorn, I have found up to date sources for the three politicians that you couldn't add previously
In Alabama:
In Maryland:
State Delegate Tawanna P. Gaines (D) pleaded guilty to fraud. (2019) [2]
In North Carolina:
State Representative Rodney W. Moore (D) plead guilty to fraud. (2019). [3]
In Louisiana:
State Senator Wesley T. Bishop (D) pleaded guilty to making false statements. (2020) [4]
Please could you also move Movita Johnson-Harrell, who was convicted in 2019, from the 2000-2009 section and add her into the 2010- section. Also I note that Jeremy Hutchinson's article isn't attached to his addition, which is in Arkansas 2010-.
Thank you for doing the other ones btw, I really appreciate it. Herssed ( talk) 09:05, 28 January 2020 (UTC) Herssed ( talk) 09:05, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

I have split this list; it was mentioned two or three times above, no objection made except by one blocked account labelled as a sock. The options seemed to be chronological or geographical; there seemed to be a feeling that the former was better, so that's the choice i made. As with everything i do, especially bold edits such as these, i welcome any discussion. Happy days, ~ Lindsay H ello 10:24, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
