"nepo baby"
Hi @Cerebral726, can you please explain why you are not convinced the "nepo baby" comment is not worth including? I think it's pretty relevant to him - just about every story I've read about Baker has mentioned his parents, which is unusual and noteworthy in itself. People are going to think of nepotism regardless of what we mention, so I think it's fair (in the sense of BLP considerations) to include how he addressed it. Maybe we can also include something along the lines of what he said to BuzzFeed News about his parents having no role in this, "...that you are going to have no hand in this, and it’s going to stay that way".

 * I think my concern was that the source used at the time was kind of a throwaway line, and stripped the context of his "my parents don't have Polk Awards", which was clearly supposed to be a joke. Feel free to include that BuzzFeed source, since it focuses on that much more. Cerebral726 (talk) 14:26, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * @Cerebral726: gotcha, thanks for explaining. I've added in the BuzzFeed News source plus another thing I found in Teen Vogue about his grandfather. Please let me know what you think! (I'm not in love with the quote but couldn't think of a better way to phrase it right now.) Legoktm (talk) 06:39, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Puffery tag
Hi. Could you point out a couple examples of "exaggeration of unnoteworthy facts" in the article? Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 01:05, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
