== Personal life ==
{{ping|Deltagammaz}} Several months ago you added the following sentence to the “Personal life” section.
:In late 2019, emails obtained by The Boston Globe showed Ackman attempting to cover up his wife's involvement with MIT Media Lab donations received from Jeffrey Epstein.
To say Ackman attempted to cover up his wife’s involvement is a misrepresentation of the information contained in the supporting citations. None of the four citations use the words “cover up.” I am requesting a revision of that sentence to more accurately reflect the cited sources.
:In late 2019, emails obtained by The Boston Globe showed Ackman ''requested that the former MIT Media Lab director avoid naming his wife when discussing'' Jeffrey Epstein.”
Please note I work for Rubenstein and am making this request on behalf of Pershing Square Capital Management. [[User:NinaSpezz|NinaSpezz]] ([[User talk:NinaSpezz|talk]]) 21:09, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on William Ackman requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 & A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. You Talkin' to Me???

The speedy deletion request has been reinstated. There are plenty of news articles relating to William Ackman, but the importance of him and his companies success and failures are of disputable value to society and Wikipedia. If you disagree, please discuss further here and place the {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag)You Talkin' to Me???

removed twice, by different eds, including myself as reviewing administrator. Considering the size of the business, he seems clearly notable-- and there are good sources. Er go by the sources. A claim that the business is not useful to society is irrelevant entirely. I refer to your talk page, where it seems you have been editing from a non-neutral POV. DGG ( talk ) 15:31, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have to say that that this is definitely an important article and should not be deleted. I do think though that it needs to be expanded to included his attempted takeover of Target Corp. Neosiber (talk) 18:38, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Question
Is Bill Ackman jewish? His last name is scottish. I noticed he is involved in the jewish community. Did he convert or did his family change their name? More curious than anything as my last name is close to his and am trying to trace it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.250.126.246 (talk) 18:47, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I just now moved some information from "personal life" which treated solely the subjects activities in the philanthropic sector, and in so doing indeed expanded the size of that section on this page. After reviewing it I am of the opinion that it is unnecessarily long and that much of the specific information can be summarized. Some of the donations are notable, given their coverage in mainstream outlets, but many of them are not particularly notable as evidenced by the sources provided (PRnewswire, various other non-independent sources, etc.), so I don't think it should be an issue. I am just announcing my intentions here in case such a change should cause any distress or arouse disagreement among any other active editors of this page.

Nothing yet about the rather spectacular televised brawl between this fellow and Carl Icahn on CNBC?
Herbalife criticism section
This is a one-sided title and section and not representative of the news that comes out every day. It should be more like Herbalife or Hebalife Short or Position and show the opposing views from reliable sources. --OnceaMetro (talk) 15:57, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
