People's House Project and a Return to Television
In May, 2017, Ball announced the formation of The People's House Project, a political action committee to support middle- and working-class candidates in the Midwest and Appalachian states. The People's House Project enjoys the support of several members of Congress, including Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), John Yarmuth, (D-Kentucky), and Ro Khanna (D-California). [1]
Ball is the President of The People's House Project. [2]
In January, 2018, Capitol Hill Publishing Corporation announced that Ball had been hired to develop and co-host an online morning show for TheHill.com. [3] — Preceding

(1) It got extensive media coverage in
WP:RS at the time, and under the guideline
WP:WEIGHT, it should be represented in the article in proportion to its coverage.
(2) Ball herself responded to it extensively, and used it as a lesson in how to deal with embarrassing photos that were taken when you were younger.
[1] and many others.
(3) "this really doesn't seem encyclopedically necessary" is not a reason under WP policies and guidelines to delete something.
In addition, I think it's now more significant because of the Franken photo, but I don't have a WP policy or guideline to support that. --

Selected BLP links:
Donoharm and per
BLPGOSSIP not exactly relevant to a disinterested article about the subject. The topic itself (not the removed text) should be covered, I'm aware of a 2019 Rising video in solidarity with
Katie Hill (politician), and
your 2015 source (
Cosmopolitan interview by
Jill Filipovic) is arguably a "must have", but no details about the silly private photos. –

Do we really need two huge
McClatchy block quotes for this issue? It looks slightly
UNDUE for me, or rather unbalanced in relation to the size of this biography. The fact (singular) appears to be simple enough, she created a PAC and used a (notable) part of the donations in the first year to sponsor her own work. Does this PAC still exist? –

Notice of Biographies of living persons noticeboard discussion
I'm surprised nobody has made the edits to this page or to Kyle Kulinski yet, but they are confirmed as a couple and even made cute Valentine's Day posts on Twitter — Tha†emoover†here(talk) 23:15, 23 February 2022 (UTC)reply
Hey there. It's been added multiple times and reverted. It's being discussed at BLPN in
this thread. The consensus seems to be that a photo of them kissing isn't enough. Would likely need a clear statement such as "we're in a relationship". The fact that she's probably still married increases our level of caution too, due to
WP:BLPGOSSIP. Hope that helps. –

On a recent episode of her show "Breaking Points", Krystal refers to Kyle as her boyfriend. The segment is titled
"Anna Khachiyan: Russophobia Is The Latest Liberal Activism | Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar"
At the 11:00 mark, she brings up that clips from Kyle's show were recently posted to the Breaking Points YouTube channel and that it was not her idea, but Sagaar's. Then she remarks "Everyone would think 'oh, of course Krystal is bringing her boyfriend onto the channel'"

In case the anonymous info wasn't enough, here's Kyle with his friend Corin saying "I'm gonna be a stepdad", "we told everybody" about the Krystal relationship.

It's absolutely astounding how dense Wikipedia jannies are. There is literally a photo of them kissing and several videos in which they mention their relationship and y'all are like "nah they themselves are not legitimate sources for talking about their own relationship" LMAOOOOOOOOO.

I don't have a strong opinion on this. Do you have any other redirect targets in mind? –
Novem Linguae (

I don't think we should have Saagar's page redirect to Krystal's. In my view we should either leave his page as a redlink tentatively until he has significant third party coverage or possibly redirect to Rising.

Controversies Section: Views on assault,Will Smith/Chris Rock incident
Being that Krystal was one of extraordinarily few public figures to come out in support of Will Smith's actions against Chris Rock, and that she has taken an explicit principled stance that physical violence/assault can be "proportionate" to a verbal insult or poorly-made joke, it seems that it is important that this information should be added, as well has how vehemently her audience on youtube, twitter, and reddit denounced her revealed stance. The reddit thread discussing her views is the most upvoted of the month and already in the top 30 for the entire year:

Any news coverage of this by a reliable source such as a
WP:NEWSORG? (please provide link) That'd be the first step to getting this added. Asking for this kind of citation is a good way to keep a pundit's article from becoming an unbalanced list of hot takes that dominates the article. –
Novem Linguae (
talk) 19:39, 6 April 2022 (UTC)reply
That is a good point. Being that Krystal is not a major celebrity and that the main stream media is not really interested in her views, I am not really seeing any news source covering her stance, which is not too surprising (original video/source from Breaking points:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gKCFc-QL84 ).
I would say, and based on the reaction of her audience, that this incident falls significantly outside the norm of what could be considered other hot takes, diverges significantly from popular opinion (one need only look at the fact that only five people ever have been expelled from The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in its entire history), and how strongly her audience has reacted (highly unusual) for how at odds it is with her other stances.
I have not seen as strong a reaction from her audience in all her times at Rising or Breaking Points. I suppose it is subjective as to whether it is important enough to merit addition (perhaps regardless of the disinterest of the mainstream media in the opinions of a minor public figure?) or whether it constitutes just another hot take?

If there isn't a
WP:RS, then it isn't even
WP:NOTNEWS. It's a talking head talking. It's what they do. (And I've seen a lot of pro-Will takes, not that out there.) –
