Dispute

User:Metalhead83 and others interested in this page: I weighed in on a dispute relating to this page. My views were expressed here. They were deleted there - so I am noting them here. --2604:2000:E010:1100:6014:F444:B44D:4B1D (talk) 05:21, 20 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

  3O Response: I'm going to address the edits in the Personal life section. Courtesy ping @KidAd and Metalhead83:

I feel like the mayor of a major city is going to make appearances at a wide range of events, probably multiple times most weeks. A lot of these will be part of the honorary duties as mayor, or photo ops to keep in touch with the electorate. Those would be trivial, and insignificant to the subject's personal life, so we really have to check if sources indicate that it's significant over time or if they've just glommed onto a single event because it makes a catchy headline.

The subject's connection to heavy metal is central to the New York Times piece, it's significant enough to get non-local coverage, and the piece talks about it as being significant across decades of the subject's life. It seems non-trivial to me. Though I'm not sure about including his favourite heavy metal album (or band).

For privacy reasons, we generally don't name non-adult children of subjects, unless those children are themselves notable. So "He lives in Albuquerque with his wife Liz and their two children".[citation needed]

Also, for indoor football, I couldn't read the Albuquerque Journal source but it seems to indicate that this was an exhibition game rather than the opener of the regular season. Could someone verify this? The article text should reflect it if this was a non-competitive game.

As noted in edit summaries, avoid the WP:PUFF peacock language and summarize the RSS coverage as succinctly and neutrally as possible. This is a non-binding third opinion, but I hope it helps! – Reidgreg (talk) 18:27, 19 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for helping with this. Him being the "Metal Mayor," has become part of his brand and has gained national attention, including him regularly intorduicing touring bands that came through Albuquerque, Pre-COVID of course. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Metalhead83 (talkcontribs) 21:54, 25 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

This article uses a lot of promotional language. One example: Run-off Election: Seen as the front-runner, Keller continued to garner broad support from across the city, including endorsements from the Fraternal Order of Police, recognition for his bipartisan work as Auditor and Senator, and his pragmatic vision for the city's future. The article calls him "Mayor Keller" when the surname should do. I see a lot is sourced from the City of Albuquerque, which should be POV checked but I haven't yet. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:34, 6 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
