Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Joshua Kors

Semi-protected edit request on 16 March 2022
The Wikipedia article about Joshua Kors is an informative article describing his journalistic work. It is of great value for anyone following his efforts to seek justice for servicemen who believe they have been wronged by their government. It should be kept in Wikipedia as a reference. There is no reason for deleting it. 2600:8802:531A:7D00:8C33:79A2:51FE:45DD (talk) 17:18, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

The article about Joshua Kors is a valuable resource
Joshua Kors was an award-winning journalist before deciding to attend Vanderbilt Law School, which is where I met him while I served as the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs. He had undertaken ground-breaking research that helped shed light on the plight of veterans, as well as momentum for change to occur. He shared his knowledge and experience with his colleagues at the law school and others in the Vanderbilt University community. He continued to advocate for veterans and share his findings and insights resulting from his research and writing in subsequent years. This article serves as a valuable resource for veterans and their allies interested in historical underpinnings and in working for positive change. As such, it cannot be designated as "self-promoting" but instead is precisely the type of article intended for resource material such as Wikipedia. Julie K. Sandine, M.A., J.D.

 * Hi Julie,
 * I have two questions for you, or anyone else inclined to make a near-identical argument for what I think might be the tenth time:
 * What is the valuable resource provided by this article, exactly? Almost all of the text is directly taken from Kors's own website, which is considerably more helpful and informative than this article. What do veterans and their allies lose, with this page deleted? This argument does not follow Wikipedia policies, and additionally appears to be nonsensical. I am happy to help people who are unfamiliar with Wikipedia's norms, which are often arcane, to formulate an argument that might be better received by the editing community. But I confess I can't do much with an argument that appears to counter fact as well as policy.
 * Can you provide examples of significant, independent coverage of Kors, as described at WP:GNG? This is the policy that decides whether an article is "the type of article intended for resource material such as Wikipedia". So far, no established editor has found enough significant coverage of Kors that they have been able to argue for a keep on this Articles for Deletion discussion. If you can provide some, this would be very helpful. It is common for editors to change their positions to "keep" if someone brings forth some overlooked sources. So far, no one arguing for keep has done so.
 * Again, I am happy to help, and to explain various policy or "Wikipedia culture" issues. But so far I haven't seen anything I can really help with. -- asilvering (talk) 05:37, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
