Talk:Joel Pollak

Wikipedia is not a campaign brochure resource

There are so many things wrong with this article I don't even know where to start. Anyone who understands the word 'encyclopedic' knows what they are. This is an embarrassment to Wikipedia. Flatterworld (talk) 16:55, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

I agree, this thing needs some serious editing before it can be considered any thing close to wiki quality. I mean what is up with the 7th reference, it is a question mark (?) and not a reference at all!--Discott (talk) 23:20, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Should this be deleted?

I don't really understand Wikipedia deletion policies, and the pages explaining them are making my head hurt. That being said, it seems to me that this guy fails the requirement for being sufficiently notable to have his own page, and that some minimal part of verifiable biographical information should just be merged into the page about the election in which he ran.

He's very much in the news because of a notable CNN interview with Soledad O'Brien on the "Obama tapes", If he wasn't notable before, he is now. 64.81.229.96 (talk) 02:04, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

While Pollak is not a household name like Soledad O'Brien, one could argue that he is as notable as Jay Thomas, who played a small role in the CNN interview referenced above, and who has his own Wikipedia page. News reports and extensive internet commentary yesterday and today about that interview (which provoked an edit war on Wikipedia's Critical Race Theory page) brought me here to Pollak's page, which should certainly be updated with his current position and duties on the Breitbart sites. While I have contributed to Wikipedia prior to my registration today, I regret that the 14-hour days required at this time of year to run a small tax & accounting practice do not permit me to contribute beyond this brief note.

MSNBC interview

I migrated only the audio from this MSNBC interview here because the video cut to images that were likely copyvios but you could probably get a better still image from a screen grab if needed:

Grandfather in South Africa/Murders

Is it true his grandfather in South Africa murdered three blacks who were crossing his land during the 1970s? This has been talked about on social media recently. Please add details on this event from the 1970s. It came up during a discussion of a recent murder. 125.24.99.3 (talk) 03:11, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
