"Jewish-American"
Please do not mix ethnicity with nationality, it is explicitly deprecated by the manual of style, and has been misused as a means of "othering" by editors with malicious intentions. Ethnicity or religion are normally mentioned only if they are reliably reported as central to the identity of the subject - not based on an editor's views. Just because somebody mentions their ethnicity or religion on Twitter does not make it a matter that needs to be included in an encyclopedia. Acroterion   (talk)   03:40, 10 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Why is it mentioned in other cases where it isn't central to the identity of the subject? Also it is not my view that he is Jewish-American - he mentions it on twitter and perhaps others would find it an interesting piece of trivia about this journalist. Isn't the purpose of an encyclopedia to capture all available information about an individual? 92.232.29.132 (talk) 22:57, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

 * There even is a specific page with 494 journalists. I do not understand why Mr Singal can not be added to this list? 92.232.29.132 (talk) 23:01, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * The names in your link are pulled from the categories on the associated articles, not from the lead of the articles themselves (pulling three from the list at random: Dan Charnas, Susan Glasser and Gabriel Heatter, all described by their nationality per long-standing consensus). You can use the Twitter post as a primary source to incorporate material regarding Singal's religion into the article in an appropriate section within the article if you can show that it's notable enough for inclusion, but it does not belong in the opening paragraph.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 23:08, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * How about just adding him to the Category page that I linked based on his tweet? 92.232.29.132 (talk) 00:01, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
 * No, because, per WP:BLPCAT, such categories need to be supported by sourced article content.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 19:14, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
 * That's a bit absurd. Courts consider twitter as self-publishing, so it should be allowed as a source. 92.232.29.132 (talk) 00:58, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Not here. Wikipedia isn't a court, it's an encyclopedia. The issue is not whether he's Jewish, it's whether it's something that is significant enough to mention.  Acroterion   (talk)   01:35, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

 * WP:EGRS also explains in detail.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 23:11, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
