Someone needs to update this page - the story is developing rapidly, and the page is very light on info...—Preceding unsigned comment added by Aquamari ( talk • contribs) 06:20, 8 July 2010
Also, the first sentence is ambiguous. It sounds like the voters that were intimidated were the black panthers. Perhaps we could reword that? —Preceding

I’m glad Wikipedia is covering this topic now, since I think it’s notable enough to be covered here, but I agree with Aquamari’s comment that it deserves more coverage. In particular, I think we ought to be specifically covering the voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party, and the Department of Justice’s controversial dropping of these charges. Perhaps the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case ought to even have its own article.
I’m currently involved in an arbitration case about an unrelated article, so I might not have time to contribute much to this article in a timely manner, but I’ll provide some sources that will hopefully be useful to anyone else who wants to.
I hope these sources are useful, and that this article can be expanded (or that a new article about the voter intimidation case can be created) using them. -- Captain Occam ( talk) 03:42, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
What "critics" accuse Adams of being a partisan? And is it the policy of wikipedia that biographies of living persons contain, as their second line, criticism of the person? I'm removing that sentence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.111.218.90 ( talk) 21:16, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
This article may fall under WP:BLP1E - biographies of living people who are only significant for one event. In such cases, where the event is notable but the person in question isn't, the article should be rewritten to focus on the event rather than the person. I'm not sure what the event here would be - New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case, perhaps? - but that might be the more appropriate approach to take.

As was suggested by several editors here and here, I’ve just recreated the article about the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case. This case has been in the news a lot lately, and I think it’s definitely notable enough to deserve its own article by this point. Any of you can look at the list of sources I’ve assembled about this case to get an idea of its notability—the coverage it’s received includes five articles in the Washington Post, five from the Associated Press, four from CNN, three from CBS, and more than 50 from the Washington Times.
When this article previously existed a few months ago, it was subsequently merged into the New Black Panther Party article because it contained less information than what was already in that article, but I don’t think that’s a problem with my new version of the article.
In case this isn’t obvious, I’ve put a lot of work into developing this article in my userspace over the past month, and it’s my hope that there’s very little that needs to be changed about it at this point. Any improvements or suggestions from other editors are still welcome, though. -- Captain Occam ( talk) 23:32, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
An IP number has removed reliably sourced content, and introduced WP:OR, WP:WEASEL and WP:FRINGE to depict the subject of the article in the most positive way. [1] The IP number has also edited Adams-related text on Hempfield Area High School, which suggests that this account is Adams himself or closely associated with Adams.
