I'm still working on it.

This is an article about a statewide elected official from Missouri who is notable per WP:BIO. I have expanded the article by including information from her campaign bio and including it as a reference. TMS63112 16:46, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Children's arrest

[edit]

I don't see how her adult children's involvement in a bar fight is relevant to her biography. If they're notable on their own, then the info belongs there, but the incident isn't related to Susan Montee at all. Arbor8 (talk) 16:29, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

She is a candidate for Lt. Gov in 2012 and one of her sons is working for his mom's campaign.

It seems as if Montee's son is a volunteer with the campaign, and the other two aren't involved with it at all. The fact that a campaign volunteer was arrested in an incident that had nothing to do with the campaign doesn't seem to merit inclusion in the candidate's bio. That said, if any of the three children are notable enough to have their own articles, it certainly does belong there. Arbor8 (talk) 22:34, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know. We don't know enough about their roles at this point in time. However, if the incident becomes part of the campaign discussion then it merits inclusion. It looks like that is the direction this whole discussion is going, based upon the St. Joe Channel article.--Edmonton7838 (talk) 22:39, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be inclined to hold off for a bit and see if it gets more coverage within the context of the campaign. It looks like their court date is not too far off. Maybe we check back then? Arbor8 (talk) 22:42, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yup.--Edmonton7838 (talk) 23:26, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
