Criteria for political endorsements
Hi Yc0615. Please be aware that any political endorsements must meet all three of these criteria:
 * 1) The endorser must have an article or be unquestionably entitled to one
 * 2) This endorsement must be covered by reliable and independent sources
 * 3) Coverage of the endorsement needs to use the word endorse, or other closely related synonym.

This is covered by the consensus at WP:ERFC.

For that reason, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, poker websites, and blogs are not acceptable sources. Also, donating to a campaign or showing up to a campaign rally are not endorsements. Please let me know if you have any questions. - MrX 🖋 19:38, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

Questionable criteria for political endorsements !
I disagree with you because you only look at the rigid definition of endorsement. Nowadays celebrity endorsed candidates directly on Twitter, which may not be covered by news media. The tweet itself can be considered a direct source from that celebrity. 1. Elon Musk tweeted his support but did not use the exact word "endorse". Because he got media attention, that is why it is covered by new media. Hannibal Buress did not use the word "endorse" either. If you read the article, it says "It looks like comedian Hannibal Buress is a part of the Yang Gang". 2. You said "donating to a campaign and showing up to a campaign rally" is not endorsement. But you keep Nicholas Cage, who only donated to his campaign. I did not add Nicholas Cage. If a celebrity toured with Yang's campaign and ask people to vote for him but it is not considered official endorsement, I do not know what it is. Because it is what MC Jin does. 3. If you paid attention to Van Jones's interviews and multiple tweets about Andrew Yang, he is clearly a dedicated hardcore Yang Gang. He even called Yang "a beautiful human being" in an interview. But because he is a TV anchor, he tried to stay as neutral as possible. 4. And why do you remove Anita Baker? She claimed to be Yang Gang on Twitter. That is horrible that you deny something so obvious only because mainstream media did not pay attention! Yet you keep Rich Brian only because Andrew Yang appeared in his concert once. What kind of criteria do you use? Totally flexible and biased! - yc0615
 * Yes, we are an encyclopedia and we have rigid referencing requirements. This was discussed at a community level and there was strong consensus for these guidelines. Did you read WP:ERFC? - MrX 🖋 19:18, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

But even you are contradictory to your own criteria. It is a social media era. Do you think Trump's tweets are not quotable because news media did not officially report them? The rules are so outdated. - yc0615
