Open Orthodoxy

The following text has been deleted from the article:

On 3.11.2015 the Moetzes of Agudath Israel of America declared Open Orthodoxy (of which Linzer is one of the leading proponents), Yeshivat Chovevei Torah, Yeshivat Maharat and other affiliated entities to be similar to other dissident movements throughout Jewish history in having rejected basic tenets of Judaism.[1][2][3]

Being the head of Chovevei Torah certainly makes Linzer one of the leading proponents of the so-called Open Orthodoxy to which this ruling applies. I don't understand the rationale for deleting this material. It is not "POV" to say either that Linzer is a leading proponent of O.O. or that O.O. was rejected by Orthodox Judaism.

You can't go around spamming biographies of living people with material whose sources don't mention them. See WP:No original research. Please stop your vendetta or I will report you. 107.10.236.42 (talk) 12:25, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
IP, your use of fighting words and threats does not bolster your case, on the contrary. The ruling in question specifically mentions both open orthodoxy and chovevei torah. Linzer openly declares himself to be O.O. and is the head of Chovevei Torah. This is a direct connection to the ruling if there was ever any.
