Article tags

This article relies on primary sources. Out of the 43 citations in the article 32 of them cite articles written by the subject of the article. This is not appropriate and that content needs to be severely cut back. I would recommend that the entire Views section be condensed into one paragraph. A BLP is for notable events in the subject's life. It is not a place to espouse the political views of the subject. -- — Keithbob • Talk • 01:40, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How about "Bennis subscribes to the view of an independent Palestine and is highly critical of Israel and perception of the illegal occupation of Palestine as dictated by her worldview"? Maybe link to the articles related? Her position isn't very nuanced so it should be short. Masakatsu (talk) 14:12, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't it mentioned that she is jewish? (See [1])--Kmhkmh (talk) 11:53, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

1) Notability guideline? + 2) On Board of Directors for the Jewish Voice for Peace.

1) The two year old wiki flag stating "The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline. (January 2018)" seems to be out of date, and absurd. Shouldn't that be removed?
2) Shouldn't the description include mention of the apparent fact that she's on the Board of Directors for the Jewish Voice for Peace. ?
Thank you
