Comment: You've included a few sources where people respond in depth to his articles/op-eds, but I'm not really convinced this satisfies any of the WP:NCREATIVE/WP:NJOURNALIST criteria. There definitely doesn't seem to be evidence of meeting WP:GNG MCE89 (talk) 05:40, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

Jacob Savage is an American writer and former screenwriter. He has published articles on the topic of men in fiction writing and Jews in academia.[1][2][3][4]
In a Tablet article titled The Vanishing, Savage wrote that a demographic shifts in academia and other institutions was "erasing" Jews from them. He said that the popularization of diversity and inclusion initiatives was a determining factor in the shift. He wrote that "When activists and journalists and executives talk about how Broadway or NPR or publishing is 'too white,' what they really mean is 'too Jewish'".[2]
Savage wrote on Compact, in a 2025 article titled The Vanishing White Male Writer, that number of White men in literary publications was dwindling. He said that from 2021 to the date of the publication of his article there were only two American white males in the New York Times's Notable Fiction list, out of a total of 72 authors.[5]
