Issues to be mediated

What is this dispute about? What sections, sentences, or issues in the article(s) can you not agree on? If you are the editor who opened this request, list these issues to be mediated under "Primary issues". If you did not open this request, you can add additional issues to be mediated under "Additional issues". The issues to be mediated would be properly agreed upon later, if this request for mediation is accepted.

Primary issues (added by the filing party)

1. Should the statement about why superdelegates exist, made by the highest ranking Democratic party official be included in the lede. If this same statement is expanded upon later in the article, does it merit a position in the lede.

Additional issues (added by other parties)

• Additional issue 1
• Additional issue 2

2. Ummm... seeing as how User:OB1KINOB and the just-blocked User:tbacon143 are most likely the same person this should probably be rejected (and maybe someone should file a WP:SPI though I don't know if it's even necessary).Volunteer Marek (talk) 05:25, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Decision of the Mediation Committee

This section should only be edited by a mediator. The Mediation Committee's representative will indicate in due course whether the request is accepted (meaning a mediator will be assigned) or rejected (meaning you will have to try a different type of dispute resolution). If the mediator asks you a question in this section, you may edit here.

• Reject. Under prerequisite to mediation #9 which gives the Chairperson the discretion to "refuse or refer back to other dispute resolution venues (e.g. dispute resolution noticeboard, third opinion, request for comment, or additional talk page discussion) a dispute which would benefit from additional work at lower levels of the dispute resolution process." For the Mediation Committee, TransporterMan (TALK) 06:29, 5 May 2016 (UTC) (Chairperson))
