1) “All of the reliable sources about Hinkle are passing mentions and paragraphs that mention his anti-Israel and right-wing advocacy on Twitter. Very few sources actually establish his notability as a person in detail.” It’d very clear that there are numerous reliable sources that are directly about Hinkle (not passing mentions) that establish his notability as a person. These sources are more than enough to meet the WP:N requirement that’s being called into question. Additionally, WP:BASIC states: “People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.” Hinkle is someone who didn’t just come out of nowhere as a recent political figure. No not at all. In fact he is someone with a long history of political and social activism, being listed as one of the 17 most inspirational kids of 2017 by Reader’s Digest,, similarly with Teen Vogue also giving recognition to Hinkle,, he took part in a highly contested and heated 2019 city council election in the city of San Clemente on, later winning a third of the city, also his early life was highly reported on not leaving us with little info. If you look at this article you will see very little of it is taken up by his “anti-Israel” advocacy, he’s a independent journalist of course he has a focus on the Israel conflict, but that does not still come up as the majority of references of him.

ñWP:BASIC states “If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.” This this indicates that even if there weren’t any sources directly about Hinkle (which there are), this article would actually still be notable as a result of multiple independent sources, I mean look at the CNN, Forbes, Times of Israel articles on his Israel reporting, he has been the main center of the article (in the CNN one he is referenced as the focus right alongside Musk) Hinkle has also been referenced by Colombian President Gustavo Petro due to his reporting as reported by Infobae article which focused heavily on Hinkle and explained who he is.

Out of the sources that are directly about Hinkle, only 7% (just one) of them are about his anti-Israel advocacy. And only 1 of these sources reference his advocacy as “right-wing”. To reduce the sources of this article to being “anti-Israel” and “right-wing advocacy on Twitter” is incorrect.

Hinkle is a notable figure, his early life, city council run, activism extensively covered, his show the Dive is also covered as are his debates with figures like Sam Seder, going on Tucker Carlson Tonight, being a leading figure at an rally in DC.

Furthermore I also agree with Alleycat1995 that it’s an oversimplification to say Jackson Hinkle “right-wing”. This is due to the variety of coverage about Hinkle, the fact that he is not labeled by a majority of RS as “right-wing”. Again as Alleycat1995 said “1 article describes him as right-wing, 2 articles describe him as Marxist, 2 articles describe him as conservative, 1 article describes him as progressive, 1 article describes him as “MAGA”, and 2 articles avoid giving him a label.”

2) “The VICE article mostly describes Haz and his far-right movement rather than Hinkle itself.” I agree with Alleycat1995, the VICE article moves from Haz to Hinkle giving equal recognition and doesn’t describe the movement as far right but rather states that there is a possibility it could lead to the far right tendencies of MAGA coming up per se, thus describing it as far right violates WP:OR.
