== Neo-Nazi == == Neo-Nazi citation ==

Hello, I would like to discuss the term "neo-Nazi" that is attributed to Baked Alaska in the very first sentence of the article. Two sources are cited to justify that term, ''The A.V. Club'' and ''The Times of Israel'' respectively. The former source does not seem to be reliable for this claim, as according to the it is only considered "generally reliable for film, music, and TV reviews", and so is clearly beyond its . A film review website, which explicitly labels itself as "", should not be cited to claim that someone is a "neo-Nazi".

''The Times of Israel'' has a similar issue. It is not listed anywhere on the reliable source page, as it is still somewhat controversial from what I've seen in the noticeboard archives. However, it does look mostly reliable at least with regards to Israeli affairs, and so again it seems that this source is beyond its area of expertise in claiming that an American live-streamer is a "neo-Nazi". But even if this publication is well within its area of expertise, there are still discrepancies with their use of the term towards Baked Alaska. The - dated January 17 2021 - describes Baked Alaska's arrest and does label him as a "neo-Nazi". In their about him though - dated November 20 2021 - they decided to suddenly drop "neo-Nazi" in favor of "far-right media personality" while reporting on his alleged vandalism of a Hanukkah display.
This use of "far-right media personality" falls in line with the current media consensus on Baked Alaska, which can be seen in reports from reputable publications such as , , and about his recent assault and vandalism charges. In these reports he is universally described as a far-right media personality, and very clearly not as a "neo-Nazi".

With all of this in mind, I suggest that the instance of "neo-Nazi" be removed and replaced with the generally agreed upon "far-right media personality".


Hi, I noticed that him being a Neo-Nazi is not substantiated in the sourcing (unless I missed it). I don't wanna muck around too much with what's there, but if someone who was involved in editing would like to improve that, I have a couple sources that could be added. (second one is used in the article, but identifies him as a Neo-Nazi for his sharing of Neo-Nazi content) - ] (]) 00:17, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
P.S. I'm a newer user, so please tell me if I've broken some etiquette. I made this suggestion in good faith and tried to be as objective as possible. Thank you.

:I agree. Saying that he is a far-right personality seems sufficient and accurate. While he has seemed content, on occasions, to associate himself with actual neo-nazis, to my knowledge he has never claimed to be one himself. My impression is that his ideology, while definitely far-right, is not precise and coherent enough to warrant that label. One may even say that calling him a neo-nazi is giving him too much credit. ] (]) 20:42, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
:Agree wholeheartedly, I'd tried to make this change several times, explaining that AV Club wasn't sufficiently authoritative to make the claim per ], but got brigaded every time. There was a ton of mainstream coverage of him too after Jan. 6 2021 and none of them dubbed him a Neo-Nazi. --] <sup> (] / ]) </sup> 16:07, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
:: Not sure why this is removed when he is described as a neo-nazi in numerous reliable sources, not just the two mentioned above. E.G. The Independent (), Raw Story (), the Guardian (), Sky News (), etc.
::: Please reread my initial post and refer to the . The first source you referenced, The Independent, is only considered a reliable source for '''non-specialist information''', and it's also noted that some editors have advised caution for their articles as well. Not only that, but the particular article you referenced is clearly outdated, as their about Baked Alaska completely leaves out the term 'neo-Nazi'. Your second source (Raw Story) is generally unreliable, your third source's article (The Guardian) no longer exists, and your fourth source (Sky News) does not appear on the reliable sources page. I have cited up-to-date articles from reputable sources like AP and Reuters, and they describe Baked Alaska not as 'neo-Nazi', but as a 'far-right media personality'. This current general media consensus is the reason why the term has been removed and replaced with 'far-right media personality'. ] (]) 20:27, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
:::: This is a tangent, but I think we can safely assume that Sky News would be regarded as a reliable (and somewhat authoritative) source, despite its association with Murdoch. It's the second leading purveyor of news in Britain, after the BBC. Something only goes to RSN if there's a reason to question its reliability, which is likely why it's never been brought up. ] (]) 20:40, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
::::: That's a pretty fair correction. I agree that Sky News seems like a mostly reliable source, and I should have pointed out what the particular article itself said (that Baked Alaska is an "online personality" who happens to be "known for holding neo-Nazi and white supremacist views"), instead of just saying it's not on the RS page. However, it's not true that a source only goes to the RS page if there's been a reason to question its reliability. It's a page that reflects the community consensus on widely discussed sources. Just because a source doesn't show up on there doesn't mean it's universally accepted, that only applies to sources like universally verifiable academic journals. It's more likely that it just hasn't been discussed enough yet and formally put on the RS page. ] (]) 22:26, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
