The items mentioned in the controversies section occurred from 16 to 9 years ago. Pretty much ancient history in city politics. Are they still worth mentioning in this article? Or could we at least change the title to something like Historical Controversies? T bonham (talk) 06:16, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It shows a pattern of Democratic corruption and should be retained, in spite of odious tags recently added.Weatherford (talk) 08:50, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think that this reason seems particularly politically motivated. I don't think that these historical controversies should definately be removed from the article, but should probably just be worked into the body of the history section.

The Democratic Socialists of America often endorse candidates, and members run as part of the Democratic Party. The source provided is not sufficient to convince me that Robin Wonsley Worlobah should be listed as a DSA member on the article. If there were a source where she specifically stated that she was running on the DSA party line, I think that would be sufficient. Aurora _{(User:Horkak)} (talk) 02:50, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do you find any of these satisfactory? Akalendos (talk) 21:43, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I came here to ask the same question as @Horkak, and I think the sources you provided are sufficient. I also found a primary source just for further proof: https://www.minneapolismn.gov/government/city-council/ward-2/about-robin-wonsley-worlobah/. Thanks for helping!

Setting aside right here any possible discussion on if

Furthermore, in the info-bar, it lists the

city council

Any opposition to either/both of these proposals pertaining to how
