Use of blog posts as references

[edit]

I have started the article on Khayele Grober, and other Wikipedia contributors have commented that blogs should not be used as references. On the whole I do agree, but on topics from Jewish/Yiddish cultural history I find that sources are scarce, and the ones I found and used (the Yiddish Lexicon: [[1]]) appears as a means to improve upon that situation. I do now know the person(s) behind the Yiddish Lexicon, but from what I can see they really endeavour to build a lexicon in its own right - and the content that I found was conclusive with what I could read in the few sources on the digital shelves of the Norwegian National Library (concerning her tour taking her to Norway). Accordingly, I think the Yiddish Lexicon should be accepted as a reference in general, for want of more authoritative sources. Annelingua (talk) 15:17, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
