'twas I who nominated the original one-sentence article with one source, JC's employer's web site, for Speedy Deletion. Declined by Admin (Thanks, Malik) because of a recent addition (Thanks, JayJasper). I came back to the page to mark it AfD but decided to Google the name; try adding 'prizes awards'. I learned a lot. Changed my mind about AfD. He IS notable now and likely to become more notable. I won't have time to help flesh out this article. Hope others might start. Plenty of links that describe how he led the editorial team that won a Pulitzer Prize. Lots about his work in civil rights, especially for LGBT. Lots of work to keep the article neutral but that's part of what/who he is. Hope others will take an interest and help out.DocTree (talk) 07:27, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

"In 2019, as a Washington Post columnist, Capehart wrote columns disparaging a high-school–aged teenager, Nicholas Sandmann. Sandmann was attending an anti-abortion event in Washington, D.C., after which he was recorded in videos joining many of his classmates in mocking and harassing a Native American elder (and veteran of the United States armed forces), Nathan Phillips."

This sentence is incorrect and should be changed. It states as fact that Sandmann was mocking and harassing Nathan Phillips, but that has been thoroughly debunked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rpmrpmrpm (talk • contribs) 00:03, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Content regarding Capehart's false claims about Bernie Sanders should be restored
On Janurary 23, 2020, a wiki editor (who is currently blocked for abusing multiple accounts) scrubbed this article of all references to Capehart's false claims about Bernie Sanders. The reasons given for the edit were WP:UNDUE and WP:BLP, neither of which apply to the scrubbed content as far as I can tell. A political journalist making a false claim about a leading presidential candidate in the notorious 2016 election, and then refusing to recant the claim even after proven wrong, seems quite notable and totally fair game for a wiki article about said journalist. I think the content should be restored. 172.91.107.147 (talk) 04:33, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

I've now restored the content. The cited sources are Snopes (which wikipedia considers "generally reliable"), Capehart's own columns in the Washington Post, and the official website of the University of Chicago, which should be sufficient to assuage any WP:UNDUE, WP:BLP, or WP:RS concerns. 172.91.107.147 (talk) 18:39, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
