"nepo baby"

[edit]

Hi @Cerebral726, can you please explain why you are not convinced the "nepo baby" comment is not worth including? I think it's pretty relevant to him - just about every story I've read about Baker has mentioned his parents, which is unusual and noteworthy in itself. People are going to think of nepotism regardless of what we mention, so I think it's fair (in the sense of BLP considerations) to include how he addressed it. Maybe we can also include something along the lines of what he said to BuzzFeed News about his parents having no role in this, "...that you are going to have no hand in this, and it’s going to stay that way".

I think my concern was that the source used at the time was kind of a throwaway line, and stripped the context of his "my parents don't have Polk Awards", which was clearly supposed to be a joke. Feel free to include that BuzzFeed source, since it focuses on that much more. Cerebral726 (talk) 14:26, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Cerebral726: gotcha, thanks for explaining. I've added in the BuzzFeed News source plus another thing I found in Teen Vogue about his grandfather. Please let me know what you think! (I'm not in love with the quote but couldn't think of a better way to phrase it right now.) Legoktm (talk) 06:39, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Created by Legoktm (talk) and PK-WIKI (talk). Nominated by Legoktm (talk) at 06:29, 27 July 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Theo Baker; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Legoktm and PK-WIKI: Nice work on this article. My preference is for ALT2 or ALT0 if the hooks remain unchanged. If ALT1 is used, I suggest revising it to clarify that the George Polk Awards are for journalism. Epicgenius (talk) 18:52, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]


Puffery tag

[edit]

Hi IAmHuitzilopochtli. Could you point out a couple examples of "exaggeration of unnoteworthy facts" in the article? Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 01:05, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Firefangledfeathers: they've now been blocked as a sock so I've removed the tag. Legoktm (talk) 08:19, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
