Action needed?
The article has been given a "notability" tag. Am I supposed to do something about this? It seems to me that an active duty soldier who goes on a hunger strike against the government actions is pretty notable, and the sources listed in the references thought so too.
Is there something wrong with the article that I need to fix?

- I can talk more later, but for now I'll just point you at WP:1E. jlwoodwa (talk) 03:27, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Also, there's an easier way to let editors know about a discussion: see {{ping}}. jlwoodwa (talk) 03:29, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- WagePeace, jlwoodwa, I've been looking for somewhere this can be merged into and I'm honestly not sure, there's no central page afaict for US protests about the conflict in Gaza. There is United States support for Israel in the Israel–Hamas war, which lists protests/strikes/etc. under "Reactions", and Israel–Hamas war protests in the United States. The latter includes a few sentences on Hebert, which could be expanded into a section (this current article is pretty short if you remove the quotes), but that article is very long already.
- Re: the BLP1E bit, this article would best be focused on the hunger strike itself rather than Hebert as a person, like with Self-immolation of Aaron Bushnell. At the very least, imo, it should be renamed and reformatted a bit.
- WagePeace, the act itself doesn't confer notability: notability is based on coverage, and there really isn't that much. The sources are:
- Primary document made by the subject
- Google doc presumably from Veterans for Peace
- Interview with Democracy Now
- Article in Military.com
- Article in Task & Purpose
- Blog post from Veterans for Peace
- The Military.com and Task & Purpose articles are the most important from a notability perspective, but it's still not much. This might be worth moving to a subsection in the US protests article and a line in the "Reactions" section of the US support article. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 04:03, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
