Talk:Ido Kedar

Made a start on this draft, attempted to get it into a state that meets WP:GNG. Specifically included:

  • Significant coverage. Wide range, some in-depth bios (eg LA Times bio), a variety of citations in academic and professional articles.
  • Several independent, reliable secondary sources

I think this individual is borderline on WP:AUTHOR as being widely cited. However, GNG should be clear, beyond the individual's authored works and including their activism, public appearances, education, verifiable biography, etc. —siroχo 10:33, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Where is the proof of authorship? This person uses FC.

This person is using Rapid Prompting Method which is Facilitated Communication and as we know that those methods are discredited and authorship is actually the facilitator, that would throw the entire case that they are the author of these claimed works up for question. The article says they are "independent" but that is the claim we hear always from the FC world. Do we have anything independent that is r/s that proves they are truly independent from a facilitator? If this person is truly independent, then they are the first to do so and this would be very big news all over the media. Why don't we see headlines from major news sources?

Unfortunately, we have very poor reporting on this. There are nonverbal people who communicate through letterboards and tablets without facilitators. From what I can tell, often such people also oppose the use of facilitated communication for the reasons you intimate. But here we have someone who argues in favor of it, but the question is whether they are still using it. I cannot find good sources which indicate one way or another. jps (talk) 22:14, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
