Serious problems on this page[edit]

This page has several serious problems. Far too many claims are sourced to press releases of the institution in question, and the page reads more like a PR statement for the organization. I have deleted some of the more egregious portions of the page, but it seems further pruning is in order. Publius In The 21st Century (talk) 19:48, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear basis for deletion[edit]

With all due respect to what appears to be a very veteran editor, I have never seen the Jerusalem Post questioned as a RS for basic facts (on the contrary, even an editor with a clear POV which would predispose him against this source has invoked it [1] as a source that is never questioned). Perhaps I am missing something? I am also confused by your use of the word "Israelian" - might I politely ask what you meant by this?

If it's simple facts, presumably more diverse sources can be found? —Paleo Neonate – 14:19, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And indeed they can. But, again with respect, I am unclear as to what, precisely, the problem is? Since I realize that you are a veteran editor and it may be that I am missing something, perhaps you might refer to me to specific Wikiprinciples you feel are not met here, and explain in what way this is the case? I would be most grateful, since as far as I can tell, the passage in question is written in NPOV; includes sourcing that, as my link suggests, is universally agreed (even by those with avowedly hostile POV) to be reliable; and, being cited by several sources, is obviously more newsworthy than virtually every other aspect of the page (almost none of which comes from traditionally-recognized RSS). And again, with respect, might I please clarify what you mean by "Israelian"? It is not a word whose meaning is familiar to me, and recourse to the OED and other dictionaries offers little assistance; the nearest referent I can find is a dialect of biblical Hebrew posited by linguists to have been spoken before the period of the Babylonian exile, and surely that is not what is meant here.
