Talk:Marjorie Dannenfelser

MD's purported spouse's purported career

The following sentence was removed for various sourcing problems:

In 1991, she married Martin J. "Marty" Dannenfelser Jr, then the chief of staff to Rep. Chris Smith, later staff director for the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and now senior policy adviser for the United States House Committee on Energy and Commerce|House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

The info re the marriage and date is unsupported by any source. The claims about "Marty's" career history is supported only by synthesis of primary materials (drawn from a website that purports to "bring transparency to the U.S. Congress by disseminating public documents") in violation of WP:NOR,WP:PRIMARY and WP:BLP. Further, the info about MD's spouse's career history isn't even relevant to the subject. Cloonmore (talk) 03:18, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Of course, WP:PRIMARY allows for simple facts to be introduced to the article, such as what job Martin Dannenfelser holds. Such simple facts are not synthesis, as there is no A + B = C equation being foisted on the reader.

We have a bunch of sources about Martin J. "Marty" Dannenfelser Jr:

• Congressional yellow book, Volume 32, Issue 1, 1990. Lists Marjorie Jones and Martin Dannenfelser as staff contacts to two Representatives, Mollohan and Smith, respectively.
• Martin J. Dannenfelser in 1991 serving as administrative assistant to Representative Christopher H. Smith.
• "Marjorie lives in Arlington, Virginia with her husband Marty and their five children, ages 9-18."

• Policy Experts 2000: a guide to public policy experts and organizations. United States code congressional and administrative news, volume 5, 1999. Shows Family Research Council affiliation.

The year 1991 for the Jones/Dannenfelser wedding was put into the article by some previous editor but it is not disproved by any of these sources. Binksternet (talk) 14:42, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

You've got the SBA List website bio plus one secondary source. The rest look to be primary sources culled from your extensive original research, which of course is not permitted. Cloonmore (talk) 02:46, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

You keep returning to the SBA List website as the touchstone but for Dannenfelser it is a primary source. The only secondary source shown above is the Life News article.

Give WP:BLPPRIMARY another quick look and you'll see that primary sources can be used carefully in a BLP to support simple facts as an augmentation of secondary sources. For instance, the various Capitol Hill directories that you can see in the links such as this one listing one volume of the Congressional yellow book can be used, in this case to say that Martin Dannenfelser and Marjorie Jones worked at the same time as Congressional staffers in 1990.

Even if it is published in reliable sources, we should think twice about the real world effects of this information in the article. Even a general address. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:21, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Publishing the city of residence is not personally endangering Dannefelser. Nobody is suggesting publishing her street and house number. Binksternet (talk) 16:58, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

The city of Arlington has been connected to Dannenfelser multiple times as residence and office:

• "SBA List founder shares how she found a mission that motivates her everyday". Federal News Network. 2019-12-18. She is an alumna of Duke University and she and her husband, Marty, live in Arlington, Virginia, and have five children.
• Howley, Kerry (May 9, 2022). "The Woman Who Killed Roe". The Cut. Dannenfelser's office is on the top floor of a glass-rimmed ovoid high-rise in Arlington, Virginia... Dannenfelser in her office in Arlington, Virginia.
• New Yorker magazine: "the group’s office was a spare room in Dannenfelser’s house, on a quiet street in Arlington, Virginia... Dannenfelser still lives in Arlington, down the street from the house that was once home to the S.B.A. List"
• The Washington Post: "She lives in Arlington, Va."
• Arkansas Online: 'Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony List, in her Arlington, Va., office in April"
• National Catholic Register: "The couple live in Arlington, Virginia, and have five children."
• Houston Chronicle: "She lives in Arlington"
• SBA List: "An alumna of Duke University, she and her husband Marty live in Arlington, Virginia, and have five children."
• The New York Times: "Ms. Dannenfelser, 43, of Arlington, Va."

Dannenfelser's own book, Life Is Winning, says that "she and her husband Marty live in Arlington, Virginia, and have five children." ISBN 9781630061500 I just don't see the problem here. Binksternet (talk) 17:33, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
