Talk:Damien Chazelle

Comment
I am a bit too nervous to add the categories, but Chazelle is an American Director, American Screenwriter.

Also, although I see that the article has been flagged for notability, there can surely not really be a question that the subject is notable enough. He is the subject of innumerable press articles, has won two grand prizes at Sundance in successive years, and has written and directed what is easily the year's most acclaimed film by any measure. It is practically a certainty that he will be nominated for Best Original Screenplay and probably Best Director too.

Footnotes #6 and #7 do not provide enough credible proof about Chazelle being born into a "Roman Catholic" family. Reference #6 comes from the website Connecticut Jewish Ledger where -among other information- it only states the following: "Director Damien Chazelle, who was a roommate with Hurwitz at Harvard, attended Hebrew school for four years though his parents are Catholic. They had become dissatisfied with their church Sunday school." First off, the part "though his parents are Catholic" is not enough to prove they are. Secondly, becoming dissatisfied with a Catholic church's "Sunday School" is hardly a reason why you'd decide remove your child from that school entirely, and then chose to send him to a ..."Hebrew School". Reference #7 comes from yet another Jewish publication, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, where we read: "“I had that period of my life where I was very, very into Hebrew and the Old Testament, and then I went with my class to Israel when we were in the sixth grade,” Chazelle told the Jewish Journal of Los Angeles in 2015. “I don’t think they even knew I wasn’t Jewish; I was, like, ‘passing.’”" This, however, is an indirect reference. Ideally, #7 should refer directly to that 2015 article in the Jewish Journal of Los Angeles that published this claim (here ---> https://jewishjournal.com/hollywood/oscars/161860). In conclusion, regardless the quality of both references, the whole thing makes me suspect this more of a political attempt by Jewish owned publications to capitalize on the "fact" that a Roman Catholic family send their son to a Hebrew school instead to a Roman Catholic one. Although the whole thing is not very believable, i.e. Chazelle even claims to be able to recite -albeit with difficulty- a Jewish prayer(!?), which shifts the entire platform into clearly religious territory. My main point here is to establish that wikipedia's goal should not not be to promote political POVs, especially with a religious aspect embedded in them, but simply state verifiable facts. Also, I object to wikipedia's editors classifying people according to their religious affinities and including an ethnic affiliation should be done with the person's permission, i.e. ONLY if there is a clear reference directly from the person (in this case Chazelle) himself stating that.

 * Just ask yourself "is the source reliable according to the standards of Wikipedia?" (Reliable sources) and "is the fact relevant to the article?" In both cases the answer is yes, the publications used as sources are mainstream and credible, and the fact that Damien Chazelle was partly educated in a Jewish environment add important biographical information. --RaphaelQS (talk) 08:09, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Clearly you did not read what I wrote in its entirety or if you did you did not understand my points. My commentary stands as is. Please address the improving suggestions I make and do not divert the conversation to what you consider comfortable territory. I will not return to seek your reply, as a matter of fact I am not interested in your reply other than commenting on how we can improve the aspects of this article that are problematic.

 * If the sources are reliable (and they are) and the facts are relevant (and they are), I see nothing to add to the matter. --RaphaelQS (talk) 00:29, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Αctually, NO! The sources are not reliable, they are not even definitive on the matter. The sources are clearly biased and they do not prove anything merely suggesting. I can't keep point this over and over, if you can't see these so called "sources" are not good enough you are either incompetent to manage this article or biased yourself. How come no else has interest in this except you and why are you the sole authority on the matter is highly suspicious. You are simply propagating a non fact, by regurgitating a few frivolous ...gossiping by only one (really) jewish publication. Don't you see how biased all this affair is? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xwpis ONOMA (talk • contribs) 23:33, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't care if the sources are biased, the point is to determine if they are reliable (mainstream and credible) and they are by Wikipedia standards, see: Reliable sources. --RaphaelQS (talk) 11:45, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Only an "idiot" like you could say that the sources could/are biased and at the same time deem them reliable and credible. And how main stream are 1-2 fringe jewish publications, AGAIN, only you know that. The whole affair with you jews and/or judeo-philes is pathetic, no point wasting my time.
