2 of the 3 cited sources do not work and or have been taken down and the 3rd (ny times article) does not mention his SAT score. it doesn't appear the claim can be substantiated by any sources. I suggest removing the claim of his 1310 SAT score. 2605:A601:A692:E200:CC87:CCFF:FE67:8029 (talk) 19:21, 17 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Correct, it's an essay that's linked from MOS:FURTHER. It exists to be as an extended explanation of the MOS guideline, and that's exactly how I've used it here. Usefully, we can always let other editors fill out a further reading section over time per WP:NOTFINISHED, although that's a proper essay.
Also, your mention of 512 citations did give me the thought that this article would actually benefit from a further reading section. MOS:FURTHER calls out the potential for using a further reading section for cited and uncited references when "the References section is too long for a reader to use as part of a general reading list".

To me, this piece isn't the most helpful source for the article, but is nevertheless an in-depth portrayal and deeply reported profile of the subject, some of his impact, and where he came from. Hence the further reading proposal for a link that meets the topical, reliable, and balanced criteria at WP:FURTHERREADING, and meets the "publications that were not used by editors to build the current article content, but which editors still recommend" standard.

My primary concern is that creating a new section with just one citation lends itself to undue weight on that article. If you want to go through and pull out like 5 good overview articles and create a Further reading section, I would have no qualms with that. However, I think there could also be a strong argument that Aaron Rodgers is very well-covered, if not too much (325k bytes right now) and that since this topic is a biography, there really isn't too much "further reading" on the subject. If anything, all it will do is regurgitate mostly what is already written in his article. « Gonzo fan2007(talk) @ 14:37, 10 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Undue weight refers to "fairly represent[ing] all significant viewpoints" about an article subject within the article. Emphasis on viewpoints. I am struggling to see how it applies in this case unless there's a specific minority viewpoint that you believe the Athletic article is espousing about Rodgers, but that's not an opinion piece, just a deeply reported profile. I also don't see how that duplicates the article. There are other potential further reading options out there, such as this New Yorker piece from a few days ago, this Milwaukee Magazine profile from early in his career, or this Mina Kimes profile from 2017 (which is used in one citation about Rodger's religion but is a much wider piece).
