There are WAY too many bullet points. An article is made of sentences and paragraphs, not bullet points. Additionally, an article this short should not have 9 top level section headers. Gentgeen 07:45, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

This article has been reported at WP:COIN#Steve Poizner as a possible case of conflict of interest editing. I trimmed out some of the more promotional language, and removed a few statements for which no source was provided. Further improvement may be possible. EdJohnston ( talk) 03:43, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps you folks need to actually READ the articles, or do more research on to Steve Poizner before editing or cutting material from this page. Your removal of what you call "promotional" material is content and language pulled directly from the variety of news articles that are available on Steve Poizner. Your most recent edit/cut, now includes a statement "The outcome of this campaign caused some newspapers to predict that Poizner would run for governor in 2010." This statement is totally incorrect. Poizner has been discussed as a Gubernatorial candidate since his election in Nov 2006, with plenty of news articles since then that mention this fact. Furthermore, if you READ the articles, Poizner received across the board praise for his work on Prop 93, so including language that tells of the newspapers praising Poizner is by no means PROMOTIONAL, it is fact. The point here is that the previous version of the page is perfectly suitable, and YOUR version actually turns the page into a listing of bullet points with no editorial content, which is absolutely necessary and part of a politicians profile, whether good or bad. If a news article reports on a scandal, that is fair game for wikipedia entry to note, therefore if a news article praises, than it is also fair game for inclusion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.126.188.102 ( talk) 19:01, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Being selected by a US President to be a part of a US Honorary Delegation that attended the historic 60th anniversary of Israel, along with numerous other leaders from around the world, is hardly "fluff". It is a fact, and it is newsworthy as evidenced by the press release and brief article used to source the information. Furthermore, it is a profile item that illustrates another piece of Steve Poizner's profile. That is to say, he is an important person. This is your last warning to stop vandalizing this article. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.126.188.102 ( talk • contribs)
Steve is broadcasting many ads on TV about illegal immigration, how others (Meg, Obama) are soft on the issue, how he is tough and he will crack down. Maybe we should talk about these ads in a paragraph, how effective they are. They seem to be effective, illegal immigration is quite a problem in California —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.122.57.236 ( talk) 22:17, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
According to this news story, many copies of Poizner's book have been bought through a company that helps promote books, with the copies then being given away. The purpose of the exercise is to put a book onto the best-seller list even if genuine reader demand for it is lacking. Poizner and his campaign have refused to say whether they were behind this effort. Is this worth including? JamesMLane t c 20:39, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Why are there so many pictures in this article? I counted eleven. There are articles twice the size of this one that have fewer pictures. 4.168.0.132 ( talk) 05:29, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
The following sentence is in the lead paragraph: "However he lost the June Primary by a landslide to former CEO of eBay Meg Whitman." This should be removed because 1) "by a landslide" is not neutral and 2) who he lost to is irrelevant in the lead and is already noted more appropriately in the body of the article. I will remove again, but wanted to start a discussion here in case I am reverted again. Alanraywiki ( talk) 22:49, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
Per WP:BLP, I'd like to request the unsourced statement: "It is widely believed that the promotion is a stepping stone position for Poizner to become Chief Executive Officer of Qualcomm Inc." that was added just recently be removed. Just doing a few quick Google searches, I was not able to find any sources to support this statement.
