Removal of PROD

Someone proposed that this article be deleted. I think that it can stand by WP:GNG. Although no particular source focuses only on this person, he is directly addressed about he himself in various sources which are about his projects. He also has gotten several minor mentions for his work with various projects. If this is to be deleted then go for WP:AFD and make it a community decision.

His podcast got a plug from Lawrence Lessig, a Presidential candidate and prominent scholar, and his work with MoveOn has been praised by Governor and former Presidential candidate Howard Dean, I think that satisfies the prominence test.

I oppose deleting this Wikipedia article. Several of the reasons are included within the article. MaynardClark (talk) 00:05, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Any Relation to Mathematician Marjorie Senechal?

Senechal's maiden name is "Wikler" so I'm wondering. Also what is Ben Wikler's ethnicity?

Who cares about his ethnicity? Unless of course it's played an important public role in his life. Are you trying to find out if he's got any Jewish ancestry and if so why? Doug Weller talk 16:36, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
