Talk:Ben Shapiro

Occupation

Even after the semi protection template that @EvergreenFir instated on this page, we still are getting deconstructive edits in regard to ‘Rapper’ being added to occupation. I’m wondering if invisible comments would help in this matter. What are everyone’s thoughts? @Cannolis Wanted to ping you as well in this discussion!

Can't hurt, though probably wouldn't help either, in my experience the kind of people that would add this sort of thing won't read those comments. The number of confirmed users that would(like the person you had to revert) is relatively small though, you could also wait and see if you get more of these edits before acting.

Roger that. Sounds like a plan, thank you very much. Elvisisalive95 (talk) 21:10, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My thoughts roughly match Cannolis'. In case it ever helps, I oppose adding "rapper" to the lead and any rapper categories to the article, per WP:BALANCE, WP:ROLEBIO, and WP:CATDEFINING, among other reasons. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 21:20, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - His rapping "career" is not even established as notable enough to include. A youtube link is insufficient. We need reliable secondary sources covering this song to even include it. EvergreenFir (talk) 23:59, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just added a reliable secondary source per Wikipedia:RSPSS to your revert . I too don’t believe by any means it merits being included as a career at all. That’s why I originally just wrote a simple sentence on the page stating the fact that it happened, which i believe should be included on this page in the capacity it is now.

A piece from one of the blogs at The Hill, which are not as reliable as the news articles from the site. I'm not sure that's enough to demonstrate that the content is notable (with a lowercase n, not talking about WP:N). Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 00:20, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I simply grabbed from one of the approved sources per Wikipedia:RSPSS as stated above. Nonetheless I truly appreciate your input, value your opinion & went ahead and added another source Here. Elvisisalive95 (talk) 01:00, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]


Promotion of Cultural Marxism Conspiracy Theory

The article should mention Ben Shapiro's promotion of the anti-Semitic cultural Marxism conspiracy theory. The Charlie Kirk article mentions his promotion it, and cites this source that also mentions Ben Shapiro in the same sentence Charlie Kirk is mentioned. Other sources are [1], [2], [3]. I think that the promotion of an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory is too significant to omit from this article. 24.126.11.127 (talk) 04:28, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Change "According to Shapiro, the reason behind the Israeli–Palestinian conflict was that 'Israel exists, and Hamas wishes it didn't exist'." to "According to Shapiro, the reason behind the conflict between Hamas and Israel in the Israeli-Palestine conflict was that 'Israel exists, and Hamas wishes it didn't exist'." as in the article cited he is specifically referring to the conflict between Israel and Hamas rather than the causes of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, which is what the phrase "the reason behind" implies to me.
