Fails WP:BIO and WP:1E. Subject came to media prominence last week after being shouted down by Donald Trump at the president's first press conference. This incident and follow-up interviews with Turx were widely covered by the top news media. Other than that, subject has no notability. The assertion that he is the first Hasidic Jew in the White House press corps is unsourced. Most of this page is cobbled together from the subject's own LinkedIn and Facebook pages, YouTube uploads, and the local Lakewood Scoop. Every other day a new policy issue is added to the "multiple issues" template. Recommend delete until subject actually acquires significant coverage in multiple, independent sources.

• Keep The subject has already acquired significant coverage in multiple, independent reliable and verifiable sources that are unarguably about him. Amid the dozens of sources in the article are a few that may be of lower quality, though the the nominator has failed to demonstrate that *ALL* of the sources fail to meet that standard. Issues with articles are great reasons to edit and discuss, but are rather poor arguments for deletion. The claim of notability as the first Hasidic Jew to become a member of the White House press corps is exceedingly strong and one that has received worldwide coverage. Tthe ample systemic bias faced by individuals in the Hasidic community needs to be considered and addressed. Alansohn (talk) 22:08, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

• @Alansohn:, I added the information about him asking the question at Trump's first press conference to Ami (magazine)#Coverage, where he is listed as the magazine's political correspondent. That's where that WP:1E event belongs. If you take away from this page all the sources that cite that press conference, you are left with nothing. No sources say he is the first Hasidic Jew in the White House press corps. Yoninah (talk) 22:52, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

• Keep I agree to the above I ask this page should not be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Loz Gemachet (talk • contribs) 22:38, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
• Delete the 1 event that makes him famous can be covered (and already is) in the AMI magazine article. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 23:24, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

• Keep Turx's writings are known far and wide; and has met the criteria of "notability" long before the episode last week gained him national and international recognition.
  He is more then just "worthy of notice"; he is a writer of "note" who many readers turn to as their first read in Ami. He and his writings are "remarkable", "significant", extremely "interesting", and quite "unusual a writer" to say the least; and surely deserves the attention to be recorded. I cannot imagine what else a writer needs to be, to have an entry in Wikipedia. This page will get thousands of hits this year, of people curious to read who their favorite writer is. What's the big deal, when you have hundreds of entries like his and many of them much less significant; so why not have his deserved page too? Is it that an uphill battle these days to get anyone entered? Wikipedia is "the" depository of knowledge to which everyone turns, and such a significant entry definitely belongs there.

• Please read WP:AUTHOR. Yoninah (talk) 23:50, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Fits the criteria of "Creative professional", especially #2: The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique. He is unique in his style and technique. Mountain top habitat (talk) 00:23, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

• Keep Jake Turx has been a prominent journalist that has followed and interviewed many of the candidates throughout the entire 2016 campaign. He's worked his way up to becoming a White House Correspondent with his articles reaching a widespread audience as has he been any many shows even before his press conference inside. I strongly believe that his Wikipedia page should remain open though I'd suggest some editing to it as the deletion of the ill-written "media apprearances" section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1derthere (talk • contribs) 23:50, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
• Weak keep: I do not like it and most of the content on this page is censored on my screen. However, from what I can see there are an abundance of references and sources for this page which show a broad range of coverage. Furthermore, it does make a claim of significance (several) some of which are substantiated with sources. Wiki-Coffee ^Talk 00:11, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

• Delete - This is a WP:1E article. The coverage everyone talks about is not about the individual, but rather about the incident. The other coverage is You-Tube coverage and self-posted articles. In-depth, significant coverage is lacking. Should this be changed to an article about the incident rather than the individual? reddogsix (talk) 00:16, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

• With this said: It needs some serious tidying up to conform with WP:MOS and WP:BLP. To be honest after having looked at the article in more detail it seems disorganized and not in line with the standardized layouts of biographies on Wikipedia. While right now I am on a very weak keep I would look towards another AfD nomination in the future if the article remains in this state for some time., Wiki-Coffee ^Talk 00:22, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
