Cut all the irrelevant stuff about his kids and where they work and what their kids do. This is wikipedia, not a Christmas Card. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.240.171.117 (talk • contribs) 13:18, March 19, 2016 (UTC)

Accusation of spousal abuse

Arguably, the Cabinet nomination makes this decades-old accusation relevant. See http://nymag.com/thecut/2016/12/trumps-labor-secretary-pick-was-accused-of-abusing-his-wife.html But how to address while adhering to BLP guidelines? Not every well-sourced accusation is true. Billbrock (talk) 21:13, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I skimmed the edits, and note that this issue has already been the source of contention. That three separate incidents were part of court filings (even if these allegations were subsequently retracted) is notable (again, because of subject's Cabinet nomination). I don't think that it's appropriate to edit the article to reflect this decades-old allegation at this time, as this is a very serious BLP matter. I don't think censoring discussion here is appropriate, either. Once community consensus has been reached, this talk page can be archived. Billbrock (talk) 21:23, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The spousal abuse allegation is highlighted in a number of the news stories surrounding his nomination. In regards to BLP, we should ensure that what is there isn't given undue weight, and that we retain his wife's retraction and mark any individual claims as "allegedly". The Riverfront Times link includes the full article "PUZDER v. PUZDER" from July 26, 1989. I think it would be excessive to describe any of the three incidents in detail. Unless we want a full-on section with 'According to the article, in the third incident she said he "attacked me, choked me, threw me to the floor, hit me in the head, pushed his knees into my chest, twisted my arm and dragged me on the floor, threw me against a wall, tried to stop my call to 911 and kicked me in the lower back." He in turn called the allegations "baseless".' But it certainly should be mentioned that Puzder offered to resign from Ashcroft's task force, which was a front page story for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch three days later. gobonobo ⁺ ^c 21:53, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

gobonobo's suggested balance seems about right. I would also make sure that a phrase such as ", subsequently retracted," is in the introductory sentence. Such accusations are often falsely made in domestic litigation (or, more charitably, heated arguments are magnified into assaults). Assault victims have also been known to recant in similar circumstances. The possibility of the retracted allegations being true might be given some weight during confirmation hearings.

Change name to Andy Puzder?

When I searched for him as "Andrew Puzder" in the official website of the President-elect he does not appear, so when I searched up "Andy Puzder" all mentions and articles of Puzder appeared and Trump refers to him as "Andy Puzder". His blog and twitter account are under the names "Andy Puzder". Just a suggestion if changing is name from Andrew to Andy Puzder is appropriate. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 05:24, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A redirect is fine, but I don't see a need to change the article name. Niteshift36 (talk) 14:02, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish?

Is Andy Puzder Jewish? I recently read a news article about how neo-Nazis and the alt-right (who supported Donald Trump during the campaign) are souring on him now. The article mentioned the nomination of Puzder (alongside that of Gary Cohn) as one of the reasons why. It seemed like the article was implying he was Jewish, but the author didn't say so outright.

Suggest moving bikini marketing section to Carl's Jr.

I think it's a stretch to include the section titled "Controversial marketing campaign" in this article. It refers to marketing undertaken by Carl's Jr., a subsidiary of CKE Restaurants, during Puzder's tenure at that company. The Salt Lake City Tribune article which mentions two Utah women protesting the ads does not mention Puzder. The New York Times article includes one paragraph on the matter: "And on the political incorrectness front, Mr. Puzder’s company, CKE Restaurants, runs advertisements that frequently feature women wearing next to nothing while gesturing suggestively. 'I like our ads,' he told the publication Entrepreneur. 'I like beautiful women eating burgers in bikinis. I think it’s very American.'" Then we have the Entrepreneur article itself. Content about this marketing campaign is not currently included in the CKE or Carl's Jr. article. Those places would seem to make more sense, as it doesn't appear that Puzder devised the ads (the articles say the Director of Marketing did so), or that the ads were a primary or particularly noteworthy aspect of his tenure as head of CKE. I'm not seeing how the fact that Carl's Jr. ran ads with bikini models that some people liked and some people didn't while Puzder was head of CKE Restaurants is an encyclopedically notable part of his biography. Marquardtika (talk) 20:52, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'd agree. It's better suited to the article about the company than the BLP of Puzder. Niteshift36 (talk) 21:05, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I made the move to Carl's Jr. Marquardtika (talk) 19:46, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

205.251.68.92 (talk)ok, I only put it there because there was a direct quote from Puzder about the ads...I was showing Puzder's opinion on the ads, which I thought was relevant. —Preceding undated comment added 19:03, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Link to Oprah Winfrey interview of Puzder's battered wife

For some reason, another editor deleted the link I posted to the ex-wife's appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Here is the link: http://www.politico.com/video/2017/02/170214-lisa-fierstein-oprah-062244 Armada1000 (talk) 19:00, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
