1EVENT?

I am concerned this is a 1Event based notability. Should this be changed from a bio based article to a incident based article? reddogsix (talk) 01:38, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

He deserves his own page, he's a big figure in the Orthodox community, but maybe shorten the section on the press conference incident & give it a sperate section? Also, Media Events section should be in external links. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.56.36.230 (talk) 04:02, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think just this one point of him being the first Ultra-orthodox Hasidic Jew to become a member of the White House press corps in itself is enough to make him notable. Plus as mentioned before he's a big figure in the Orthodox community. Bloger (talk) 04:50, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's not about the "event" but about the figure. He's a popular figure within the community and a well accomplished and respected journalist. And the point the Blogger makes is also very valid, that is a sense it's historical for an Ultra-orthodox jew to be in the position of a Senior White House correspondent.

If it is about the individual, please indicate how the article meets the criteria in WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Just being popular is not in the criteria for inclusion into Wikipedia. Thanks... reddogsix (talk) 18:08, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It meets the criteria in WP:BIO and WP:GNG (notability) and warrants its own article because "turx" is a household name and very "popular" in the Orthodox Jewish community where his writings is widespread. He is "worthy of notice", a "person of note", "remarkable", "significant", "interesting", "unusual enough"; in fact "unique" in his profession within Orthodox circles. For these reasons "turx" warrants its own page.

Where as until recently he was mostly known within Jewish circles; recently he "also" became known to all the practitioners of his profession (that is journalists) and to America at large, who are very interested in knowing and reading who this "turx" is, and turn to Wikipedia for this information.
