How is the Raiders moving during her time as Mayor not mentioned as a major event? 24.216.26.83 (talk) 20:20, 9 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

An IP editor has attempted to add the following text to the intro of the article repeatedly.
During her mayoral term, the city lost two major league sports teams, the Oakland Raiders and the Golden State Warriors in 2019.[1]
@Muboshgu: I know you removed this (or similar text) the first time it was added. Do you still feel it does not belong in the intro? I have concerns about that being the only event from her tenure to be mentioned in the intro. —C.Fred (talk) 16:12, 5 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
The edit summary is obviously bogus as there was no discussion about putting it in the lead to a consensus one way or the other. The information is factually correct and it's in the body, which is a start. I agree with your assessment: it could belong in the lead, but adding it and only it would be UNDUE emphasis on that one aspect of her tenure. A properly fleshed out lead would likely include the Warriors and Raiders, along with other key points of her tenure. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:53, 5 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
We certainly cannot put it in with that reference, which makes no mention of Schaaf at all, so it fails direct verification and WP:WEIGHT. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 17:11, 5 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Great point. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:24, 5 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
