Serious problems on this page

This page has several serious problems. Far too many claims are sourced to press releases of the institution in question, and the page reads more like a PR statement for the organization. I have deleted some of the more egregious portions of the page, but it seems further pruning is in order. Publius In The 21st Century (talk) 19:48, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

Unclear basis for deletion

With all due respect to what appears to be a very veteran editor, I have never seen the Jerusalem Post questioned as a RS for basic facts (on the contrary, even an editor with a clear POV which would predispose him against this source has invoked it [1] as a source that is never questioned). Perhaps I am missing something? I am also confused by your use of the word "Israelian" - might I politely ask what you meant by this?

If it's simple facts, presumably more diverse sources can be found? —PaleoNeonate – 14:19, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

And indeed they can. But, again with respect, I am unclear as to what, precisely, the problem is? Since I realize that you are a veteran editor and it may be that I am missing something, perhaps you might refer to me to specific Wikiprinciples you feel are not met here, and explain in what way this is the case? I would be most grateful, since as far as I can tell, the passage in question is written in NPOV; includes sourcing that, as my link suggests, is universally agreed (even by those with avowedly hostile POV) to be reliable; and, being cited by several sources, is obviously more newsworthy than virtually every other aspect of the page (almost none of which comes from traditionally-recognized RSS). And again, with respect, might I please clarify what you mean by "Israelian"? It is not a word whose meaning is familiar to me, and recourse to the OED and other dictionaries offers little assistance; the nearest referent I can find is a dialect of biblical Hebrew posited by linguists to have been spoken before the period of the Babylonian exile, and surely that is not what is meant here.
