Talk:Greg Johnson (white nationalist)

Expansion of primary-sourced quotes
This is about this series of edits:

Please do not add extensive WP:PRIMARY quotes without any secondary support. This article is a summary of his notability, not a platform for disseminating an arbitrary selection of his ideas. If these ideas are not supported as significant by reliable sources, they should not be emphasized like this. Primary sources (which are otherwise unreliable) would only be usable for a brief, non-controversial overview of his works, not a rehash of his boutique definitions of controversial concepts. Antonio Gramsci most certainly never wrote about Johnson, so without a reliable source, including his name here is WP:OR. The use obscure works by others in the walled garden of far-right "ethnonationalists" is utterly insufficient for expanding this content. Grayfell (talk) 21:47, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The only reliable sources are primary sources or secondary sources that approach the subject in a truly scientific manner. Now that excludes academic activism per definition. --105.4.6.95 (talk) 10:51, 27 June 2018 (UTC)


 * That is incorrect. Please review WP:RS. Sources should be independent, and must have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. "Truly" scientific is a distraction, as it is not up to you or me to decide which are truly scientific and which are not. Reliable source for info about extremists are often those who oppose extremists, so 'activism' is also a distraction, because sources are allowed to come to conclusions based on their findings.
