== Neo-Nazi citation ==
There should be several sources if you're going to use the label "white nationalist" on this guy. All SPLC says is: "featuring such white nationalist figures as Richard Spencer, Nathan Damigo of Identity Evropa, far-right “neo-Pagan” Augustus Invictus, blogger Jason Kessler, and social-media celebrity Tim “Baked Alaska” Gionet." which doesn't substantially back up the claim, more an offhand reference. The Newsweek article calls several other people "white nationalist" but refers to Baked Alaska as "alt-right". In a businessinsider.com interview he explicitly rejects the label. --] <sup> (] / ]) </sup> 15:26, 13 August 2017 (UTC)


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)

=== I'm still not seeing reliable sources that call him a white nationalist ===
A new article popped up citing Misplaced Pages as justification for calling this guy a white nationalist, so I come back here and find the claim re-added, even though the sourcing of this claim is still poor. I'm interested in any quotes that could be used to justify this claim. ] posted a smorgasbord of articles in response to my previous solicitation, yet only one could even be quoted as backing up the "white nationalist" label. Whether a source is reliable enough to appear in any Misplaced Pages article is a different standard than ] and most of the ones Bernstein cited are one step above a blog in reliability. Besides which, I find it strange that you're citing articles that make no claim about him being a white nationalist. Although what matters is what's cited on the page and not the talk page, I'll address the articles Bernstein cited in case anyone thinks they'd make a good replacement citation.

*http://www.businessinsider.com/who-is-baked-alaska-milo-mike-cernovich-alt-right-trump-2017-4
Calls Gionet "one of the de-facto leaders of the alt-right meme army" but not white nationalist; cites him renouncing the label white nationalist. Calls other people white nationalist. Marginally reliable site.
*http://nymag.com/selectall/2017/08/baked-alaska-charlottesville-and-the-end-of-ironic-nazi.html
An op-ed on a marginally reliable site. Does call Gionet a white nationalist.
*http://www.newsweek.com/white-nationalists-kkk-demo-virginia-647748
Higher levels of reliable on their hard news articles (such as this) but by no means top tier. Calls Gionet alt-right. Uses "white nationalist" to refer to other people.
*https://www.buzzfeed.com/carolineodonovan/uber-is-also-willing-to-ban-white-supremacists?utm_term=.crBqB6G34#.pb9bV5Aq0
Roughly same level as Newsweek. Calls Gionet alt-right. Uses "white nationalist" elsewhere.
*https://gizmodo.com/white-supremacists-suddenly-very-concerned-about-tolera-1797811701
On the lower end of the spectrum for reliability. Is at least relevant in that it says Gionet "spent the past few years tweeting neo-Nazi slogans, advocating for white nationalism", although it does not call him a white nationalist.
*https://patch.com/washington/woodinville/seen-racist-charlottesville-rally-wsu-student-resigns-college-republicans
Not too familiar with this site but it seems to be very decentralized. Calls Gionet alt-right, calls other people white nationalists.

So in summation one and a half sources low on the reliability spectrum as citation for a potentially libelous statement, and the more reliable sources call several people except Gionet a white nationalist. --] <sup> (] / ]) </sup> 04:10, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
:In your post titled 'I'm still not seeing reliable sources that call him a white nationalist', you describe sources that explicitly call him a white nationalist. I'm still not seeing how that header makes sense. ] (]) 04:30, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

::Your revision summary restoring this label referred to two articles ''not cited'' in the article itself. Even if you believe NYMag.com/SelectAll and Gizmodo qualify as reliable publications AND cite them, I don't think they're of the higher standard necessary for ], especially potentially libelous claims.

The standard for not being “one step beyond a blog”in this context is, apparently, any publication that is neither storefront nor breitbart. New York Magazine, for example. Is among the world’s great periodicals. Newsweek is not what it was, but it’s a reliable source.so is business insider.

::SelectAll isn't New York Magazine. NYMag.com/SelectAll is irrelevant anyways as long as it's uncited in the article. And any article that doesn't make the claim is irrelevant as well. The standard is not merely "reliable" but the sourcing has to be high-quality. Most of those publications are what I'd call content farms, with questionable editorial oversight. Additionally, ] says "Editorial commentary, analysis and opinion pieces, whether written by the editors of the publication (editorials) or outside authors (op-eds) are reliable primary sources for statements attributed to that editor or author, but are rarely reliable for statements of fact."

#This is simply untrue. Gionet is still extremely political on his Twitter and YouTube -- even his music is geared towards his political goals. The sentence has no citation, and factuality should therefore be preferred.
#There's no reason to mention "MAGA anthem" -- it doesn't inform the reader much about Gionet's political views or political activism, which are decidedly ''not'' focused on his musical career. Moreover, the references -- Breitbart and Gateway Pundit -- are notedly unreliable & highly-biased towards praising Gionet's work, even if it wasn't successful or good.

I disagree, I think it should be included, but without the puffery like "one of his most successful songs". It's relevant to his career in his idealogical promotion of Donald Trump. Plus, it's sourced. There's no need to remove information because you disagree with the political-leaning of the sources. While, yes, I agree with your points on how his views are how he is notable, it's totally wrong to delete something that is sourced and relevant. --'''<font color="#E466A9">]</font><font color="#E466A9"></font>''' 18:10, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Neo-Nazi citation

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) - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 00:17, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
