Needs Improvement

This is too brief and reads like a commercial off of his website. Some inciteful case history, that is the infamy of cases he has been involved with would go a long way to indicate actual notability.

I will see if I can find any thing within the next week or so. Please remember to sign your posts with four tildes ~~~~. --Morenooso (talk) 01:18, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There was a PBS feature on Padilla many years ago, long before he became a talking head on TV. I'll need to rifle thru my old VHS cassettes, because I'm sure I recorded it, since it was so fascinating. 68.33.102.83 (talk) 20:14, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For whatever my opinion counts, (I'm a new user), I think Padilla has a great deal of outside noteriety and is highly worthy of a Wikipedia inclusion. I think he belongs on the list of notable private investigators in the appropriate article, and I will try to add him there. Hopefully, un "orphaning" this artice will add to its credibility. Thanks, George. Georgegreenrow (talk) 21:50, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The comments above give references which might work, but including Padilla's own website is not WP:RS. --S. Rich (talk) 06:52, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Milton 100 edits

Thank you, Milton, for the edits. The effort is appreciated, but I've reverted the whole lot because they need improvement. Among other things: 1. We do not link common words like Mayor, etc.; 2. My Space and Padilla's own page are not WP:RS; 3. The bountyhunter.org page had no information about Padilla; 4. The State Bar membership page does not support anything about what happened to the lawyer's law library, much less whether Padilla got access to it or what he did with it; 5. We use surnames, not first names; 6. The info about running for mayor (and the other stuff) really lacks RS. All of your edits meet WP:AGF, but they are not encyclopedic. Thanks again.--S.
