Mark Bauerlein entry

I couldn't identify any plausible reason making it worth to dedicate an entry to Bauerlein. Rmsoran (talk) 17:23, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@RetroCosmos, 107.10.129.126, TheEpTic, and EditingMonkeys: I think the IP has a point. The accusations of vandalism are not assuming good faith, but the single opinion piece doesn't seem to establish that the inclusion is WP:DUE for a BLP, and I couldn't find any sources to bolster it's inclusion. Cerebral726 (talk) 17:52, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

With respect, I disagree. The determination on whether something is due or undue weight is based on the proportion of views of a subject. Mark Bauerlein is not a particularly notable person. I am not saying he is not notable enough to have a Wikipedia page, but he is not commonly in the news. There aren't many sources to bolster its inclusion because he's just not famous enough to attract attention. I would not oppose that entry be rewritten in a more reasonable manner. RetroCosmos (talk) 18:13, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A lack of sources in general is not reason to lower the bar of what is acceptable as a RS for controversial content to be included. This is a single Primary source (WP:BLPPRIMARY) clearly labeled as "Opinion" that includes quotes such as "He is a scumbag". This article can't be used to establish the notability of itself. The call for his removal received no further media reaction, and therefore fails to justify an entire section or even really a mention of the incident.

Strong argument. I agree. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 12:25, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
