The article is new enough, long enough, and the citations appear to be from RS (I will review more closely shortly). The hook is mildly interesting, but there are facts that are more fascinating to the passing viewer in the article. The article needs to be copyedited a bit, as it's very AI-y (the adjectives are a tell). ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:23, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

- Hi @Pbritti: thanks for reviewing this. I have improved the article and added an ALT hook, let me know what you think. Thanks, Yeshivish613 (talk) 12:41, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

- Hi @Pbritti: just to follow up on this review... Yeshivish613 (talk) 15:19, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  - Having performed a spot check of the cited statements, I have identified a couple issues. A source says "In a school journal, he decried the Iraq War", which is interpreted in the article as he first became politically active, notably opposing the Iraq War at a young age. This is an inaccurate representation of the source. The same article is cited for despite his stated disillusionment with both major political parties, but he expresses no disillusionment with the Republican Party, only discontent with antisemitism among both far-left and far-right factions. I'm not entirely convinced that the article is in a suitable state to run on the main page. Please rewrite while keeping close to the sources. ~ Pbritti (talk) 19:06, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback from New Page Review process

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: A well-written biography, with sufficient reliable sources to establish notability; there is also evidence of coverage of some time ('sustained coverage'). The article could be better linked from other pages.
