1EVENT?

[edit]

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.

I disagree he meets WP:BIO or WP:GNG, additionally, being a household name and/or popular is not relevant. You have not been specific in how he meets inclusion criteria. reddogsix (talk) 21:05, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that this article fails WP:1E. The only reason it has a list of respectable sources is because he was shouted down at Trump's first press conference. I myself have had an eye on creating an article about him as a columnist for Ami, but have not been able to find significant coverage about him personally in independent, third-party sources. If this were nominated for AFD, I would support deleting it. Yoninah (talk) 21:02, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
He’s not WP:1E he is a member of the White House press corps which is a quite unique exclusive group of people. (limit to 98 in the room I think).
However, more importantly on the notability issue, as I wrote before, being the first Hasidic Jew to become a member of the White House press corps is notable in my opinion, so there is more than just the one trump event.Bloger (talk) 21:19, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That fact is not cited in the article. Yoninah (talk) 21:21, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
So we got a reference problem than, not a notability problem, right? Bloger (talk) 21:32, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Being a member of a small group is not a reason for inclusion into Wikipedia. Notability is based on significant secondary coverage and being a member of a small group might drive their secondary coverage. I am not sure becoming the first Hasidic Jew to become a member of the press corps is significant enough to warrant an article. Although Alice Allison Dunnigan, Helen Thomas, and Harry S. McAlpin all have articles (all are firsts) they also have significantly more secondary coverage than Jake Turx. reddogsix (talk) 21:51, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
We have a notability problem, not a reference problem, if his claim to notability (first Hasidic Jew in White House press corps) isn't verified. You've managed to put together an article using his LinkedIn and Facebook pages, but with no real notability. Yoninah (talk) 22:01, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
So this is my point, I know Wikipedia doesn’t work with a “points” system…. but even if any one of the reasons mentioned above do not warrant an article on Wikipedia, “all the above” put together does make him worthy of one, in my option. Bloger (talk) 22:03, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid not. You've been editing here as long as me and you aren't familiar with policy? I learned a lot participating in AFD discussions. Yoninah (talk) 22:06, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
My experience on Wikipedia is that it’s all up to the editors. If someone is determined to delete it’s not too hard… if not, it will remain.
Just looking over the list of White House press corps members that have a page, you will fine others with less notability that have pages. Bloger (talk) 22:18, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yet another policy issue has been added to the "multiple issues" template at the top of the page. I have nominated this page for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jake Turx. Yoninah (talk) 21:56, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

IJR source

[edit]

Recent material was added based on a source in IJR.com. Alas, in the past IJR has been founded to be a problematic source, and the sort of thing we should be cautious of in a biography of a living person. Might a better source be found? --Nat Gertler (talk) 04:41, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, sources added. Bloger (talk) 05:42, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
